The document discusses cooperative learning as a strategy for implementing IT-supported learning in schools that may not have enough computers. Cooperative learning involves students working in small groups on common tasks. It has several benefits, including encouraging active learning, increasing academic performance, and improving social skills. When using computers, students tend to interact and help each other, showing computers can foster positive social behaviors. For cooperative learning to be effective, teachers must assign mixed-ability groups, establish shared goals and individual accountability, teach social skills, and help groups process information.

2. Reality dictates that
school face the fact
that each classroom,
especially in public or
government schools, may
not be equipped with
appropriate number of
computers.

3. The creativity of the teacher
will have to respond to the
situation, and so cooperative
learning will likely be the
answer to the implementation
of IT supported learning in
our schools.

4. Definition of Cooperative
Learning
 Is learning by small
groups of students who
work together in a
common learning task.
 It is also called Group
Learning.

5. ELEMENTS OF
COOPERATIVE
LEARNING
 A common goal
 Interdependence
 Interaction
 Individual
accountability
 Social skills

7. ADVANTAGES OF
COOPERATIVE
LEARNING

8.  ENCOURAGES ACTIVE
LEARNING, WHILE
MOTIVATING STUDENTS.

9.  INCREASES ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE.

10.  PROMOTES LITERACY AND
LANGUAGE SKILLS.

11.  IMPROVES TEACHERS
EFFECTIVENESS.

12.  In addition, there are studies
which show that cooperative
learning enhances:
1. Personal and social development
among students.
2. Self- esteem
3. Social relations between racially
and culturally different
students.

14.  Based on a study conducted,
researchers agree that the
computer is a natural learning
vehicle for cooperative (at
times called promotive)
learning.
 Thus, it shows that when
students work with computers in
groups, they cluster and
interact with each other for
advice and mutual help.

15.  Moreover, given the option to
work individually or in a
group, the students generally
wish to work together in
computer-based and non-
computer-based activities.
 Reflecting on this,
psychologists think the
computer fosters this positive
social behavior because it has
a display monitor – where they
look something in common

16. Tasks of Teachers in
Cooperative Learning
1. Assigning students to mixed-
ability teams
2. Establishing positive
interdependence
3. Teaching cooperative skills
4. Insuring individual
accountability
5. Helping groups process
information

18.  These are in addition to
assigning a common work
goal in which each
member of the group will
realize that their group
will not succeed unless
everyone contributes to
the groups’ success.

19.  Educators are still wary
about the computer’s role
in cooperative learning.
Thus they pose the
position that the use of
computers do not
automatically result in
cooperative learning.

20.  Therefore assign the teacher
several tasks in order to
ensure collaborative learning.
These are:
 Assigning students to mixed-
ability teams
 Establishing positive
interdependence
 Teaching cooperative social
skills
 Insuring individual
accountability, and
 Helping groups process
information

21.  It is also important for the
teacher limits learning group
clusters (six is the ideal
number in a group) so there can
be closer involvement in
thinking and learning.
