Abstract

Higher education in Japan is experiencing sudden and dramatic changes, and is being transformed by these changes. However, it is unclear whether higher education is meeting society's expectations. Higher education cannot be reformed without improvements in the methods of instruction used. The present paper considers the situation that universities are presently facing, including society's expectations and changes within the general student population, and surveys recent reports and research on the use of cooperation for improving instruction in university classrooms. The results of the survey affirmed the effectiveness of cooperative theory and practice for realizing student-centered learning and meeting society's expectations for higher education. The review confirmed the need for reform in the methods of instruction, as well as clarifying some of the problems that require consideration when using cooperative methodology in the classroom. Suggestions for future consideration are provided.
