1. What is Cooperative Learning!

Cooperative Learning is an educational approach which aims to organize classroom
activities into academic and social learning experiences.
2. Explain principles of cooperative learning?
a. Positive interdependence
 Students are interconnected with other students in the group to
achieve a goal. Achieving goals is achieve through joint efforts
based on the principles “I need you and you need me to be able to
achieve the goals”. Students share roles and assignment, each other
is interdependent, and one’s success will determine the success of
other students.
b. Individual Accountability
 Students learn together, but each individual is required to account for
the results of their learning. This means that one student’s efforts
will influence the efforts of other students. Each learning goal must
be clear and understandable for students and there is a belief that
students will be able to do it. When students succeed in achieving
their goals in groups, students also succeed individually.
c. Face to Face Promotion Interaction
 The student’s cognitive and interpersonal activities dynamically
occur because each student encourages other students to learn.
Example of these activities are explanations of how to problem
solving, discuss them, and connect new knowledge with newly
acquired knowledge. This happens when the promotion interaction
or fellow students is awakened and made a commitment to achieving
the shared goals.
d. Participation and communication
 Cooperative learning trains students to be able to actively participate
and communicate. This ability is very importance as their provisions
in life in the community later. Therefore, before cooperating,
teachers need to equip students with communication skills. Not every
student has the ability to communicate, for example the ability to
listen and the ability to speak, even though the success of a group is
determined by the participation of its members.
To be able participate and communicate, students need to be
equipped with communication skill. For example, how to express
 disagreement or how to politely disprove the opinions of other, not
to discredit; how to convey ideas that are considered good and
useful.

3. What types of activities a teacher can design to promote cooperative learning in her\
his class? Explain them briefly!
 The types of activities a teacher can design to promote Cooperative
Learning in her\his by Jigsaw or expert team model, the class divided
into several groups or terms, each consisting of 4-5 heterogeneous
members. Academic material is given the responsibility to study one
part of the academic material. Members from different groups or
teams have the responsibility to study one part of the same academic
material and then gather to help each other study the material. The
group of students who are referred to is the “expert group”.
