In recent years, open education has been regarded as alternative proposal of traditional classroom. However, open education is not an innovation of educational goals but methological innovation of teaching. The purpose of this study is to analyze the teaching method on open education and to develop cooperative learning strategies for earth science on open education.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows.
First, the contents of open education were mostly integrated curriculum and the teaching method of open education were mostly small group learning.
Second, the teaching method of open education were simillar to traditional small group. For the purpose of synergy in small group, the small group learning of open education will be fulfill of principal conditions of cooperative learning method of composition team, will to cooperate, cooperative skill.
Third, through the analyzing of current cooperative learning model, the STAD(Student Team Achivement Division) model is one of the best model for earth science on open education. The five steps of cooperative learning strategies for earth science on open education which was developed in this study were teacher's lecture → team study → quiz (formative evaluation) → marking the elevation grade of each team or student → a notice and compensation of excellent team.
The above results therefore implied that; First, it is required to investigate the effects of the cooperative strategies which was developed in this study on open education.
Second, it is required to develop effective learning strategies which can be applied to earth science on open education.
