The descriptive analysis of 2037 papers which used cooperative learning as a key word in the Education Resources Information Center' digital library between 1966 and 2010 was conducted in this paper based on several criteria. Results of the study indicated that the first paper on cooperative learning was appeared in 1988 and researchers' interest on cooperative learning increased in following years. Robyn Gillies appears to be the one who has the highest number of research studies on cooperative learning and most of the studies conducted in foreign countries using educational technologies with students who are in high school or other upper levels.
