COOPERATIVE LEARNINGAida L. PalomarCooperative Learningis a
successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with
students/ pupils of different levels of ability, use a variety of
learning activities to improve their understanding of a
subject.Each member of the team is responsible not only for
learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus
creating an atmosphere of achievement.In cooperative learning the
group combine efforts for mutual benefit so that all group
members;gain from each others effort (Your success benefits me and
my success benefits you)recognize that all group members share a
common fate (We all sink or swim together here)know that ones
performance is mutually caused by oneself and ones team members (WE
can not do it without you)feel proud and jointly celebrate when the
group is recognized for an achievement Why Use COOPERATIVE
