Abstract

The paper provides a brief review of the development of cooperative education in North America over the last 100 years. It describes the different phases of this development and describes how cooperative Education research has traditionally dealt with the benefits that accrue to students, employers, and the institution. The paper notes that to reinvent cooperative education as an academic discipline, research in the area has to go beyond justifying its existence to demonstrating its true experiential learning and value.
