The aim of this study is to depict the effect of Cooperative Learning (CL) on primary-elementary pre-service teachers’ academic achievement in Turkey in a systematic review. With respect to this aim, as Turkey adopted Constructivism in education in 2005 which is the major theory underlying CL, as a time span the search was confined to the literature between 2005 and 2018. Major search data bases scanned were ULAKBİM, ERIC, Metulib, MetUnique, J-STOR, Google Scholar, EPÖDER and DergiPark, tezYÖK (national database for accessing theses). As a result of this search, based on pre-determined criteria, twelve (13) studies are included into the review. The themes emerging are as (a) comparison of cooperative learning (CL) with traditional methods (TMs), (b) comparison of different methods of CL, (d) Jigsaw as a CL method. As a result of the review, CL is found to have a significant effect on primary-elementary pre-service teachers’ academic achievement in Turkey.
