What Cooperative Learing is?

Cooperative learning is a strategy which involves students in established, sustained learning groups or teams. http://learningandteaching.dal.ca/taguide/WhatisCooperativeLearning.html

Cooperative learning is an instructional strategy that simultaneously addresses academic and social skill learning by students. It is a well-researched instructional strategy and has been reported to be highly successful in the classroom. http://olc.spsd.sk.ca/DE/PD/instr/strats/coop/

Students work together in small groups and learn through interaction with each other while the teacher coaches the process.

Cont….. Cooperative Learning is the instructional use of small groups

through which students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning.

Cooperative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project.

“Cooperative learning is a teaching strategy involving children's participation in small group learning activities that promote positive interaction. This digest discusses the reasons for using cooperative learning in centers and classrooms, ways to implement the strategy, and the long-term benefits for children's education.” Lyman, Lawrence – Foyle, Harvey C. (1988). Cooperative Learning Strategies and Children. Eric Digest Database.

Not all group learning is cooperative learning

groups arguing over divisive conflicts and power struggles

a member sits quietly, too shy to participate

one member does the work, while the other members talk about sports

no one does the work because the one who normally works the hardest doesn’t want to be a sucker

a more talented member may come up with all the answers, dictate to the group, or work separately, ignoring other group members

Five Elements of Cooperative Learning

Positive interdependence-

a sense of sink or swim together

2. Face-to-face promotive interaction

helping each other learn, applauding success and efforts

3. Individual and group accountability

each of us has to contribute to the group achieving its goals

5. Group processing- reflecting on how

well the team is functioning and how to function even better

Types of Cooperative Learning

Formal Cooperative Groups last from one class period to several weeks.

Informal Cooperative Groups may last a few minutes to one class period.

Cooperative Base Groups are long term and last at least a year.

Five Phases of Cooperative Learning

PDT JAVED IQBAL ANJUM

In the “engagement” phase, the teacher “sets the stage” for the activity presented.

In the “exploration” phase, students work on the “initial exploration of ideas and information.”

In the “transformation” phase, this is where the students gather all of their thoughts about the information.

In the “presentation” phase, the students present their information to the other students.

In the “reflection” phase, the students “analyze what they’ve learned and identify strengths and weaknesses in the learning process that they went through.”

Generalizations from the Research on Cooperative Learning

1. Organizing groups based on ability levels should be done sparingly.

2. Cooperative learning groups should be rather small in size.

3. Cooperative learning should be used consistently and systemically, but should not be overused.

4. Student participation, teacher encouragement, and student-student interaction positively relate to improved critical thinking.

Food for Thought

One of the most exciting developments in modern education goes by the

name of cooperative learning and has children working in pairs or small

groups. An impressive collection of studies has shown that participation in

well-functioning cooperative groups leads students to feel more positive

about themselves, about each other, and about the subject they're

studying Students also learn more effectively on a variety of measures when

they can learn with each other instead of against each other or apart from

each other. Cooperative learning works with kindergartners and graduate

students, with students who struggle to understand and students who pick

things up instantly.
