| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to improve classroom instruction with project learning based on cooperative learning theory, and to examine the effectiveness of it in higher education. This instruction consisted of two parts. In the first part, participants realized the necessity of cooperation in education, and learned skills necessary to perform productive group leaning. In the second part, they carried out a project in small groups. This instruction revealed the effectiveness to enhance leaning motivation and academic achievements. However, participants' uncertainty orientation did not affect the results. These findings were examined from Cooperative Learning Theory and Uncertainty Orientation Theory.
