Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups on common tasks. There are five elements: individual accountability, interdependence, interaction, social skills, and common goals. Cooperative learning has advantages like improving academic performance and social skills. Studies show computers can support cooperative learning when students work together for advice instead of alone. Teachers must assign mixed-ability teams and ensure elements like accountability and processing to achieve collaborative learning with computers.

2. What is Cooperative
Learning?
• It's also called Collaborative Learning.
• It's learning by small groups of
students who work together in a
common learning task.
• Often called GROUP LEARNING.

1. Individual Accountability
5. Social Skills

4. Cooperative Learning in its true sense
is advantageous since it:
• encourages active learning, while motivating
students
• increases academic performance
• promotes literacy and language skills
• Improves teacher effectiveness.
In addition, 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.

5. Cooperative Learning and
the
Computer
 Researchers have made studies
on the learning interaction between
the student and the computer
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.

6.  Now this mythical fear has been
contradicted by the studies which show
that when students work with
computers in group they cluster and
interact with each other for advice and
mutual help.
And 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.

7. Reflecting that computer fosters the
positive social behavior due to the fact
that it has a display monitor (just like a
TV set) that is looked upon as
something communal.
Therefore the computer is a fairly
natural learning vehicle for cooperative
(at times called promotive) learning.

8. Components ofCooperative Learning
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. Therefore, Teachers are
assigned in several tasks in order to
ensure collaborative learning.

9. Teachers' Tasks to ensure
Collaborative learning are the
following:
Assigning students to mixed-ability teams
Establishing positive interdependence
Teaching cooperative social skills
Insuring individual accountability
Helping groups process information.
