Abstract

The aviation, engineering, medicine, and law are just fourth of the many very complex fields of study, which require mastery of a great amount of information. This paper will examine the role of cooperative learning as it applies to adult learning. For example, aviation is a very dynamic profession that requires a great deal of preparation on the part of students who choose to become professional pilots in the field. This requires the student to acquire a vast knowledge of technical data, procedural information, knowledge and social skills pertaining. Everything a student must learn and master over the course of study so as to be successful in his or her chosen field, regardless of the vocation, may seem overwhelming. The technique of cooperative learning is the means by which this mountain of information may be overcome and achieve accordingly.
