Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to achieve a common goal. It encourages active learning and motivation, increases academic performance, and improves social skills. Research shows cooperative learning enhances personal development and self-esteem while promoting literacy and language skills. Studies also find that computer-assisted cooperative learning does not isolate students but can foster social development. Effective cooperative learning involves mixed-ability grouping, interdependence, teaching social skills, individual accountability, and group processing.

2.  It is learning by small groups of students who
work together in a common learning task
•Elements needed in cooperative learning
A common goal
Interdependence
Interaction
Individual accountability
Social skills

3.  Encourages active learning while motivating
students
 Increases academic performance
 Promotes literacy and language skills; and
 Improves teacher effectiveness
 In addition, there are studies which show that
cooperative learning enhances personal and social
development among students of all ages, while
enhancing self esteem and improving social relations
between racially and culturally different students.

4.  Researchers have made studies on the learning
interaction between the student and the
computer. The studies have great value since it
has been a long standing fear that the computer
may foster student learning in isolation that
hinders the development of the student’s social
skills.
 Therefore researchers agree that computer is a
fairly natural learning vehicle for cooperative
(at times called promotive) learning.
