elementary grade?
This approach actively engages learners to process and synthesize information and concepts,
rather than using rote memorization of facts and figures. Learners work with each other on projects,
where they must collaborate as a group to understand the concepts being presented to them. Through
defending their positions, reframing ideas, listening to other viewpoints and articulating their points,
learners will gain a more complete understanding as a group than they could as individuals.

Students can work collaboratively to achieve a shared learning goals through cooperative
learning. To prepare a play, dance, or piece of music and art, students team up. The cooperative learning
process places a strong emphasis on having each group member assess how the group performed in its
task and consider how well he or she contributed to the group process. Students can consider how they
contributed to the group work process through discussions, journal entries, and self-evaluation
checklists, among other methods. And that how is cooperative learning used in teaching arts.

activities such as carving, molding, painting, drawing, and other similar ones while also demonstrating
the techniques and methods. Additionally, by encouraging independence in them and frequently using a
discovery-based approach to learning. By nurturing the growth of students' independence, assisting
them in their search for "questioning questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and
encouraging them to develop standards to gain knowledge choices," along with giving useful feedback,
are all ways that teaching styles affect learning in the teaching arts.
