Co-operative Learning
|
|
Effective co-operative learning promotes-
- positive interdependence - a feeling of connection with other members of the group as they accomplish a common goal
- individual accountability - every member of the group is held accountable for the group's achievements
- face to face interaction - group members engage at close range and are influenced by each other's verbal communication
- social skills - students become aware of the human interaction skills involved in effective group cooperation
- group processing - groups may reflect and discuss how well they are functioning as a unit and how effective thier working relationships are.
(PLSB,1999)
Effective cooperative learning relies on group management techniques, social skills training and student-centered teaching methods.
