Description

Basic Elements of Cooperative Learning 1. Positive interdependence. This is structured by assigning each student a role. Positive rewarding interdependence is structured by giving a reward to the group if each student individually has gotten a good result. All cooperative learning starts with a mutually shared group goal. All the members need each other’s success in order to succeed. 2. Face-to-face interaction: students help, assist, encourage and support each other. 3. Individual accountability: each student is assessed individually. Every member deserves a different feedback. “Each student should walk away stronger”. This can be assured by individual tests. 4. Social skills: working in leadership, decision-making, trust-building, communication and conflict-management skills. 5. Group processing: asking the group to highlight something helpful that did each member of the group and something they’ll remember tomorrow about their participation. This enables group maintenance, learning of social skills, members receive feedback on their participation and reminds students to practice the small group skills required to work cooperatively.

Interview to Dr. Roger Johnson - Cooperative vs Competitive Learning 1- Why using cooperative learning in a competitive world? Because the world isn’t as competitive as we usually think. One may have to compete with other people for a better grade, or even for a job, but our society in general is based on cooperation. As individuals, we don’t have to do all the tasks required to harvest food, or to auto-diagnose ourselves if we feel sick. People have a certain role in society, each one of us have a certain duty and everyone should do it correctly so society continues working. 2- Does cooperative learning work for any type of student? Why? Yes, it does, because the students who understand the syllabus better have the opportunity to explain the topics to those who aren’t as advanced. This way, the first student gets to repeat and practice what they had already learnt, and the second one nurtures from their knowledge and gets an explanation from another point of view.
