Cooperative learning is not just a technique or a method, but a philosophy and a way of life. It is based on the belief that learning is a social process that involves interaction, communication, and collaboration among learners. Cooperative learning also promotes positive interdependence, individual accountability, group processing, social skills, and face-to-face interaction. These are the five basic elements of cooperative learning that make it effective and meaningful.
However, cooperative learning is not always easy to implement and manage. It requires careful planning, preparation, and monitoring from the teacher. It also requires a supportive and cooperative classroom culture that fosters trust, respect, and mutual help among students. Some of the common challenges that teachers may face in cooperative learning are: how to form and assign groups, how to deal with conflicts and free riders, how to motivate and engage students, how to balance individual and group work, and how to assess and evaluate group performance.
This ebook will provide you with some practical solutions and strategies to overcome these challenges and make cooperative learning work for you and your students. You will also find some examples of cooperative learning activities that you can adapt or modify for your own subject and level. These examples cover various topics such as math, science, language, history, art, and more. They also illustrate different types of cooperative learning structures such as jigsaw, think-pair-share, numbered heads together, round robin, and more.
