García-González, Luis; Santed, Mónica; Escolano-Pérez, Elena; Fernández-Río, Javier – European Physical Education Review, 2023
Despite the research exploring the benefits of using cooperative learning in secondary physical education, several research gaps still remain, namely, limited research on its effects on prosocial behaviours, the impact on adolescents as they grow up, and the lack of assessment of differently structured cooperative learning frameworks. The goal of…
