3. When to use roles
• Team projects: without roles, given an interesting or
challenging task, it is probable that the highest achieving
students will “take over” and do the task for the team.
3. When to use roles
• Team discussions: without roles, team discussions consist
of one or two students talking most or all of the time.
4. When NOT to use roles
• Most structures: most simple cooperative learning
structures do not need assigned roles. In fact, role
assignement would detract from the effectiveness
of these structures.
