COOPERATIVE LEARNING

INTRODUCTION

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." Students must work in groups to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals. Unlike individual learning, which can be competitive in nature, students learning cooperatively can capitalize on one another’s resources and skills (asking one another for information, evaluating one another’s ideas, monitoring one another’s work, etc.). Furthermore, the teacher's role changes from giving information to facilitating students' learning Everyone succeeds when the group succeeds. Ross and Smyth (1995) describe successful cooperative learning tasks as intellectually demanding, creative, open-ended, and involve higher order thinking tasks. Five essential elements are identified for the successful incorporation of cooperative learning in the classroom. The first and most important element is Positive Interdependence. The second element is individual and group accountability. The third element is (face to face) promotive interaction. The fourth element is teaching the students the required interpersonal and small group skills. The fifth element is group processing. According to Johnson and Johnson's meta-analysis, students in cooperative learning settings compared to those in individualistic or competitive learning settings, achieve more, reason better, gain higher self-esteem, like classmates and the learning tasks more and have more perceive

Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning is a teaching method where students of mixed levels of ability are arranged into groups and rewarded according to the group's success, rather than the success of an individual member. Cooperative learning structures have been in and out of favor in American education since the early 1900s, when they were introduced by the American education reformer John Dewey. Cooperative learning is sometimes thought of simply as 'group work,' but groups of students working together might not be working collaboratively.

ELEMENTS OF COORPORATIVE LEARATIVE LEARNING

·         Students must fully participate and put forth effort within their group
·         Each group member has a task/role/responsibility therefore must believe that they are responsible for their learning and that of their group
Face-to-face promotive interaction
·         Members promote each other's success
·         Students explain to one another what they have or are learning and assist one another with understanding and completion of assignments
Individual and group accountability
·         Each student must demonstrate mastery of the content being studied
·         Each student is accountable for their learning and work, therefore eliminating "social loafing"
Social skills
·         Social skills that must be taught in order for successful cooperative learning to occur
·         Skills include effective communication, interpersonal and group skills
·         Leadership
·         Decision-making
·         Trust-building
·         Friendship- development
·         Communication
·         Conflict-management skills
Group processing
·         Group processing occurs when group members (a) reflect on which member actions were helpful and (b) make decision about which actions to continue or change.
·         The purpose of group processing is to clarify and improve the effectiveness with
Advantages
It has been shown to have a positive effect on student learning when compared to individual or competitive conditions
It has the potential to produce a level of engagement that other forms of learning cannot
Students may explain things better to another student than a teacher to a class. Students learn how to teach one another and explain material in their own words
Questions are more likely to be asked and answered in a group setting
Positive interdependency is achieved as individuals feel that they cannot succeed unless everyone in their group succeeds
Interpersonal and collaboration skills can be learned in a cooperative learning activity
Cooperative learning has the potential to meet more learning style needs more of the time than individualized direct instruction
Sends the symbolic message that the class is egalitarian and classless
Higher ability students are in a position to be experts, leaders, models and teachers; lower ability students get the benefits of having higher ability students in their group.
Disadvantages
A burden is making the students responsible for each other’s learning apart from themselves
One study showed that in groups of mixed ability, low-achieving students become passive and do not focus on the task
Depending on an individual’s motivation and interest on a particular subject that will determine how well they would learn
The goal of scaffolding is for students to become independent and able to think by themselves, without the help of others
High stakes create increased chances for conflict and therefore need for conflict resolution skills
It is difficult for the teacher to be sure that the groups are discussing the academic content rather than something else.
Higher ability students may not experience the stimulation or challenge that they would with other higher ability students.
Lower ability students may feel perpetually in need of help rather than experiencing the role of leader or expert relative to the others in their group

Conclusions
Cooperative learning was an effective strategies for teaching educational technology course to preserves teacher in the initial teacher training programme. Students studying with cooperative learning strategies scored significantly higher than students studying with a traditional whole class direct instructional approach. It can be shown by the higher achievement scores in Practical Tests and Individual Assignments and the more frequent use of media. This was consistent with many of the research studies that cooperative learning condition was more elective than traditional individualistic learning condition.
