This document discusses cooperative learning, which focuses on small groups working together on tasks to promote social skills and accountability. It defines the five key elements of cooperative learning: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, collaborative skills, and group processing. Specific techniques for implementing cooperative learning are provided, such as assigning roles, using jigsaw activities, and establishing team policies and expectations to help students develop teamwork skills. General suggestions include starting small, explaining the purpose of cooperative learning to students, and expecting initial resistance from students accustomed to individual work.

9. Assign the students roles
 Everyone in a group will help with creating a finished
product/answer, but everyone should also have a
special role that is vital to completing the task

10. Jigsaw
 Each student (or group) learns about a topic (or part of
a topic)
 It is then each student (or groups) job to teach
everyone else in the class about their topic
 When you have to teach about something your brain is
forced to critically think about it so you can present it
to others

work skills
 Establish team policies and expectations
 Keep groups intact for at least a month
 Provide for periodic self-assessment of team functioning
 Give students tools for managing conflict
 Use crisis clinics to equip students to deal with difficult team

12. General Suggestions
 Start small and build
 At the start of the course, explain to students what you’re doing, why you’re
doing it, and what’s in it for them
 Make team assignments more challenging than traditional individual
assignments
 Don’t curve course grades
 Conduct a midterm assessment to find out how students feel about teamwork
 Expect initial resistance from students

14. SUMMARY
 Cooperative learning refers to work done by student teams producing a
product of some sort (such as a set of problem solutions, a laboratory or
project report, or the design of a product or a process), under conditions
that satisfy five criteria: (1) positive interdependence, (2) individual accou
-ntability, (3) face-toface interaction for at least part of the work, (4) appr-
opriate use of interpersonal skills, and (5) regular self-assessment of team
functioning
