Cooperative learning with computers can help address the lack of enough computers in classrooms. When students work in small groups on computer tasks, they interact and help each other, fostering positive social behaviors. For cooperative learning to be effective, teachers must assign students to mixed-ability teams, establish interdependence between group members, teach social skills, ensure individual accountability, and help groups process information. When these elements are incorporated, computers can serve as a natural vehicle for collaborative learning.

1. Cooperative Learning with the Computer

2. introduction
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 and so
cooperative learning will likely be the answer to the
implementation of IT.

4. DEFINING COOPERATIVE LEARNING

5. Is learning by smalls groups of students who work
together in a common learning task.
It is also called a GROUP LEARNING.

6. 5 elements are needed to be truly cooperative learning
• A common goal
• Interdependence
• Interaction
• Individual accountability
• Social Skills

7. Advantages of Cooperative Learning
Encourages active learning , while motivating students.

8. Increases academic performance

9. Promotes Literacy and Language skills

10. Improves Teacher Effectiveness

11. Cooperative learning and the Computer
• Based on the study conducted, researchers agree that the computer is 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.

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

13. Components of cooperative Learning
•Educations are still wary about computer’s role in cooperative
learning. Thus they pose in the position that the use of
computers do not automatically result in cooperative learning .

14. There therefore assign the Teacher several tasks in order to ensure collaborative
Learning. These are:
• -Assigning students to mixed-ability teams
• - Establishing positive enterdependence
• - Teaching cooperative social skills
• -Insuring individual accountability
• -Helping Groups process information

15. 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 t6he group’s success.

16. It is also important for the Teacher limits learning group clusters
(six is ideal number in a group ) So there can be closer
involvement in thinking and learning.
