Una experiencia de aula centrada en los “grupos de investigación”

The foundations that support cooperative learning as a method to be used in Primary Education are presented in this document. To this effect, the keys on how to implement methodological strategies focused on cooperation in the classroom are analysed and reflected on the advantages offered by this methodology compared to other methods. Likewise, “research groups” are chosen as a technique to carry out a learning proposal in the third grade of Primary Education in a school. With this technique, it is established a cooperation among the pupils in order to encourage the learning, to wake up their interest and to promote the development of certain competences for students with an active learning.
