Deutsh's contribution to cooperative

learning was positive social
interdependence, the idea that the student
is responsible for contributing to group
knowledge.

Learning
What is it?
 Cooperative Learning
Teaching strategy in which small
teams, each with students of
different levels of ability, use a
variety of learning activities to
improve their understanding of a
subject.
 Cooperative Learning
Each member of a team is
responsible not only for learning
what is taught but also for helping
teammates learn, thus creating an
atmosphere of achievement.
Why use it?
 Cooperative Learning
Improved academic achievement
Improved behavior and attendance
Increased self-confidence and motivation
Increased liking of school and classmates.

Cooperative learning is also relatively easy to implement

and is inexpensive.
How does it work?
 Cooperative Learning
Here are some typical strategies
that can be used with any
subject, in almost any grade,
and without a special
curriculum:
 Strategies

Three of the most widely used

approaches to cooperative learning:
 Strategies
1. Student Teams-Achievement Divisions
(STAD)

a method in which students with widely

varying academic abilities are assigned to
four- or five-member teams. The study of
new material in a group is not finished until
all members of the group are sure
they understand the material
 Strategies
2. Jigsaw Method
Students in six-member groups each read a common narrative,
then each is given a topic on which to become an expert.
Students from different groups meet with other experts to study
their assigned topic, then return to their own groups to share what
they have learned. Students take individual quizzes, which are
formed into team scores. The highest scoring teams and
individuals are recognized in a class newsletter.
 Strategies

3. Group Investigation Model attempts to

eliminate competition entirely. This model
involves cooperative group inquiry
emphasizing data-gathering by pupils,
interpretation of information through group
discussion, and synthesis of individual
contributions into a group project.
