what is cooperative learning?
Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. –www2.ed.gov
Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. It may be contrasted with competitive (students work against each other to achieve an academic goal such as a grade of “A” that only one or a few students can attain) and individualistic (students work by themselves to accomplish learning goals unrelated to those of the other students) learning. –Johnson & Johnson
Cooperative learning is a technique that reduces racial conflict among school children, promotes better learning, improves student motivation, and increases enjoyment of the learning experience. –Jigsaw.org
Cooperative learning is an educational approach which aims to organize classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. There is much more to Cooperative Learning than merely arranging students into groups, and it has been described as "structuring positive interdependence." –Wikipedia
Cooperative learning is a teaching arrangement that refers to small, heterogenous groups of students working together to achieve a common goal. Students work together to learn and are responsible for their teammates' learning as well as their own. The four fundamental principals are:
1. Positive Interdependence: occurs when gain or individual or teas are positively correlated.
2. Positive Accountability: occurs when all student in a groups are held accountable for doing a share of work and for mastery of the material learned.
3. Equal Participation: occurs when each member of the group is afforded equal share of responsibility and input.
4. Simultaneous Interaction: occurs when class time is designed to allow many students interactions during the period.
