Collaborative and cooperative learning are teaching techniques that promote student-centered learning in small groups. Collaborative learning involves students working together in small groups with face-to-face interaction, while cooperative learning is an approach involving classroom activities where social and academic learning is developed. Some key differences are that collaborative learning sees the instructor as the center of authority, while cooperative learning promotes positive interdependence among students and emphasizes interpersonal skills. Both techniques encourage diversity understanding and create an active learning environment.
