Abstract	Four teachers at a Singapore Catholic elementary school implemented cooperative learning over a period of a year. The teachers received inservice training on cooperative learning and worked closely with a university research team as they implemented cooperative learning for social studies and other subjects. The teachers were subsequently interviewed in the middle and at the end of the project and observed three times in their classrooms. Teachers also maintained a journal regarding their experiences. Four major themes were identified within the four case studies: (1) the teachers' motivation for adopting cooperative learning in the classroom; (2) the concerns and difficulties faced by teachers; (3) the effects of this innovation on their pupils' learning; and (4) how the use of cooperative learning affected each teacher's own professional development. The findings of the research underscore the need for strong institutional support if teachers are to be motivated to use cooperative learning in a systematic and sustained manner.
