This document discusses cooperative learning, which is an educational approach that organizes classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. There are five key elements of cooperative learning: positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, group processing, individual and group accountability, and interpersonal skills. The document outlines several techniques used in cooperative learning, such as Think-Pair-Share, Jigsaw, and STAD. It also notes the advantages of cooperative learning in improving academic achievement and social skills, while the disadvantages can include teachers lacking understanding of the methods.

How to use Cooperative Learning?

15. TECHNIQUES
THINK-PAIR-SHARE
01
Developed by: Frank T. Lyman in 1981
 Allows for students to contemplate a
posed question or problem silently
 Individuals think, then pair up and then
share their responses

16. TECHNIQUES
JIGSAW
02
 Students are members of two groups:
home group and expert group
 Each member of five or six member
heterogeneous group is responsible for
mastering a portion of the material and then
teaching that part to the other team
members.

17. TECHNIQUES
JIGSAW II
03
Developed by: Robert Slavin in 1980
 Members of the home group are
assigned the same material, but
focus on separate portions of the
material.

18. TECHNIQUES
REVERSE JIGSAW
04
Developed by: Timothy Hedeen in 2003
 Students in the expert groups teach the
whole class rather than return to their
home groups to teach the content.

19. TECHNIQUES
INSIDE-OUTSIDE CIRCLE
05
 Students form two concentric
circles and take turns on rotation
to face new partners to answer
or discuss the teacher’s questions

20. TECHNIQUES
RECIPROCAL TEACHING
06
Developed by: Brown & Paliscar in 1982
 Allows for student pairs to participate in
a dialogue about text. Partners take turns
reading and asking questions of each
other, receiving immediate feedback

21. TECHNIQUES
THE WILLIAMS
07
 Students collaborate to answer a big
question
 Each group has differentiated questions that
increases in cognitive ability to allow
students to progress and meet the learning
objective

22. TECHNIQUES
STAD
08
 Student-Teams-Achievement Divisions
 Students are placed in small groups (or teams).
 Students in heterogeneous groups of four to five
members use study devices to master academic
material and then help each other learn the
material through tutoring, quizzing and team
discussions

23. TECHNIQUES
RALLY TABLE
09
 Written version of Robin Table
 Students are divided into groups.

24. TECHNIQUES
TGT
10
 TEAM GAME TOURNAMENT
 Students are placed into small groups to
study and prepare for a trivia game.

25. RESEARCH EVIDENCE
Advantages and Disadvantages
03

26. Research on cooperative learning demonstrated
“overwhelmingly positive” results
 Students demonstrate academic achievement
 Cooperative learning methods are usually equally effective for all ability levels
 Cooperative learning is effective for all ethnic groups
 Student perceptions of one another is enhanced when given the opportunity
to work with one another
 Cooperative learning increases self-esteem and self-concept
 Ethnic and physically/mentally handicapped barriers are broken down allowing
for positive interactions and friendships to occur
ADVANTAGES

27.  Teachers may become confused and lack complete understanding of
the method
 Teachers can get into the habit of relying on cooperative learning
as a way to keep students busy
 Teachers may also be challenged with resistance and hostility from
students who believe that they are being held back by their slower
teammates
DISADVANTAGES

28. DIFFERENTIATION
04
Cooperation vs. Competition vs. Individualistic Efforts

29. Cooperation vs. Competition vs. Individualistic
COOPERATION COMPETITION INDIVIDUALISTIC
 students work against
each other to achieve
a good grade and only
some of them succeed
 students work
independently to achieve
learning goals unrelated
to those of other
students
 students work and
discover a new
concept together as
well as helping each
other to learn
