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.
INTRODUCTION

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.

5.  Is learning by small groups of
students who work together in a
common learning task.
 It is also called Group Learning.

6. 5 Elements are needed to be
truly cooperative learning:
 A common goal
 Interdependence
 Interaction
 Individual accountability
 Social skills

7.  Encourages active learning,
while motivating students.

8.  Increases academic
performance.

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.

13.  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.

14.  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.

15. 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.  Educators are still wary about the
computer’s role in cooperative
learning.

17. Thus they pose
the position that
the use of computers
do not
automatically
result in
cooperative learning.

18. -As signing students to mixed-ability teams
-Establishing positive interdependence
-Teaching cooperative social skills
-Ensuring individual
accountability, and
-Helping groups process
information

19.  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.

20.  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.
