As the title points to the sentral theme, we will describe and analyze in the paper, is: How is it possible to use a rather structured method of cooperative learning as a scaffold to new relationship between teachers and pupils? The concrete method has been taken from the Canadian school developer and researcher Spencer Kagan who has developed Johnson & Jonhsons methods further into a great variety of different cooperative structures. It is those structures the teachers learn to practice in courses given in groups at regional and county level. Our experience so far is that teachers are very enthusiastic about the new methods they have learned, giving the courses very high rating in their course evaluation. We have also seen the methods being used very easily in their classrooms. The intriguing question will be if those new methods involving pupils in very structured cooperative groups, will change the role relationship between teacher and pupils, as the national curriculum demands.
