What is Cooperative Learning?
What is Cooperative Learning?
Cooperative learning is an instructional strategy requires that teachers afford students with opportunities to interact with one another to solve problems by working together towards a common goal. This also provides students with opportunities to hold themselves accountable for their own work ethic and creative contributions towards the common goal.
When participating in cooperative learning, not only are students accountable for their own part, but the group is responsible for the assignment as a whole. The success of the group is determined by each member taking an active role in their learning and the learning of the other members. The members of this small group should be on different ability levels. The strengths of each student are used to accomplish a common goal. Team members understand that by helping each other learn, they are also helping themselves.
Students who participate in Cooperative Learning are learning with and from their peers in a small group setting-much like this assignment we are completing now. With cooperative learning, students are held accountable for not only their own learning and completion of their half of the assignment, but the group as a whole. Cooperative Learning is a learning strategy that was developed to foster inclusion and teamwork as well as peer learning and communication among students.
