Collaborative Versus Cooperative Learning

The document discusses the differences between cooperative and collaborative learning. It states that cooperative learning involves structuring social interactions through steps defined by the teacher, with the goal of completing a specific task or product. Collaborative learning gives students more control over processes and outcomes, emphasizes consensus building, and respects individual contributions. Both are based on constructivist learning theory and involve active participation, but collaborative learning is less teacher-directed and gives students greater responsibility for their learning.
