WHAT IS COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
Cooperative learning is a popular teaching strategy due to its versatility and
effectiveness. It involves learners working together in small groups to achieve a
common learning goal. This approach believes that learners can achieve more
by working collaboratively than alone or passively receiving information.
Some teachers claim to employ cooperative learning when group work is used,
but others believe most group works are not. The foundation of cooperative
learning is a cooperative task and incentive structure.
WHAT IS COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
The study of Johnson and Johnson (1994) presented the five basic elements
of small group work to be considered as cooperative one (cited in Killen,
2009).

1. Positive 3. Individual
interdependence accountability
Action 2 Action 4

WHY DOES IT WORK?
01
It is clearly based on
theory .
02 It has been proven by
various research works.
It has been operationalized into
03 clear procedures that educator can
use.
3 POSSIBLE MOTIVES FOR
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND
LEARNING AS EDUCATORS USE
COOPERATIVE LEARNING:
1. Outcome motives
2. Means motives
3. Interpersonal motives

SOME ADVANTAGE OF COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
Cooperative leaming is very versatile and it can be used in all subject areas at all
levels of educationis not required that the teacher will always employ it in class. The
teacher needs to identify the best opportunity to apply it This strategy in effective in
helping the students achieve a wide range of academic and social outcomes,
including enhanced achievement improved self esteem, positive interpersonal
relationships with other students, improved time management skills, and positive
attitudes toward school. Many of these outcomes can be achieved concumently,
rather than being developed in isolation. It is particularly useful for the following
reasons Having the students work together results in more learning than when the
students work alone competitively, or individually (Johnson & Johnson, 1986). The
students will also like school better, will like one another better, and will learn more
effective social skills when cooperative learning is used.
SOME ADVANTAGE OF COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
teaches the students to be less reliant on the teacher and more reliant on their own
ability to think, to seek information from other sources, and to learn from other
students. They become empowered to take greater responsibility for their own
learning and for the learning of others (Drake & Mucci, 1993) Cooperative learning
helps the students learn to respect one another's strengths and limitations and to
accept these differences. This is very important in culturally diverse classrooms and
in classrooms that include students with disabilities It helps the students understand
that different points of view need not be divisive but they can be a positive aspect of
developing an understanding of a subject. It can boost the students confidence and
self-esteem because it allows all the students (not just the high achievers) to
experience learning success. It can change the students' views about learning. It
helps them to move from seeing learning as individual memorization of facts to
seeing it as a collective construction of understanding.
SOME ADVANTAGE OF COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
It emphasizes democratic thought and practice as a desirable way for people to
interact (whatever the focus of their interaction) It is appropriate to use when
the students are engaged to large problem-solving tasks and research projects in
which the task is heavy for one person and time is limited or where more than
one person is needed to manipulate equipment, perform the experiment, collect,
and analyze data It ensures that all the students are socially integrated into
networks of positive peer relationships. This help the students to become
skilled in constructive conflict resolution, and this can reduce antisocial
behavior like bullying (Johnson et al. 2008)
HOW TO USE COOPERATIVE
LEANING IN THE CLASS
Teacher's preparation

interpersonal skills
