Cooperative group learning is considered a very effective way of learning both in classroom settings for students and in teacher education. This paper discusses the internal conditions for successful group learning in teacher training, which include (1) the participants' psychological state in group learning such as feelings of safety and security, trust and interdependence; (2) the group's thinking characteristics such as group internal cohesion and 'group think'; (3) cooperative skills of the group members, especially their basic communicative skills. By discussing these conditions, the author aims to point out that group learning is not easy for teachers and trainers to handle. Active measures need to be taken to foster a friendly environment for effective group learning.
