Teaching Strategy – Cooperative

1. Introduction to the Strategy


Cooperative learning, also called small-group learning, is one teaching method that can help
students learn academic material and social skills. Understanding more about cooperative
learning can help you create a positive social experience in your classroom. In this article, we
examine some common cooperative learning strategies, discuss the benefits of using these
strategies and provide tips to help you use cooperative learning in your classroom.

2. Objectives
The objectives of using Cooperative Strategy in the classroom are.
 Positive interdependence: When teachers create an environment of interdependence,
students feel responsible for their own work and the group's success.
 Face-to-face interaction: In cooperative learning, students engage in discussions, make eye
contact with each other and provide support.
 Individual and group accountability: In a group activity, each student has an individual role
or assignment. This can help the group reach its goal.
 Group behaviors: Students can learn behavioral techniques like interpersonal skills, social
interaction and collaborative skills that teach them how to work with others.
 Group processing: Toward the end of a project or assignment, students can assess the
effectiveness of their group by analyzing how well its members were able to collaborate.

3. Material’s Needed

 Roles: Assign each group member a specific role to help them take responsibility for their
learning.
 Group work: Have students work together in small groups to accomplish a common goal.
 Jigsaw: Divide a task into subtasks and assign one to each group member.
 Discussion questions: Use daily discussion questions to encourage students to think about
class material in new ways.
 Think-pair-share: Have students work in pairs to analyze, evaluate, or synthesize a topic and
then share their findings with the rest of the class.
4. Steps for Implementing a Cooperative Learning Strategies.

1. Set ground rules to keep them on track

Here are some steps for implementing cooperative learning strategies in the classroom:

 Explain the concept: Describe how cooperation will be applied in the classroom.
 Form groups: Create manageable groups for more effective observation.
 Assign roles: Assign roles like leader, recorder, and encourager to help students understand
expectations.
 Assign tasks: Give students meaningful tasks that involve negotiating roles and
responsibilities.
 Encourage collaboration: Encourage students to contribute their opinions, speak up, respect
each other, and give and accept feedback.

assess students' social skills and how they work in a team.

6. Reflection and Feedback


Helps students think critically about their experiences, actions, and outcomes. Reflection can
help students:
 Identify what they learned and how they learned it
 Identify strengths and weaknesses
 Develop metacognition and self-regulation
 Foster creativity and innovation
7. Example Topics for Practice
Here are some topics for practice teaching in cooperative learning:
 Formal cooperative learning: Students work together to complete tasks and assignments
and achieve shared goals.
 Group roles: Assigning roles to students can help them stay on task and be
accountable. For example, a manager or facilitator can help ensure the group stays
focused and that everyone has a chance to participate.
 Individual accountability: All team members must master the content or skills to reach
the team goal.
 Active learning: Students organize their thoughts, present an argument, and defend it to
their peers. This active engagement can help students learn and retain more
knowledge.
 Collaborative skills: Explicitly teaching collaborative skills can help students work well
together.
 Structure: Using structure can help define roles and procedures more clearly.
 Norms and expectations: Setting norms and expectations ahead of time can help with
cooperative learning.

from social perspective.
