Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning involves students working in small teams to help each other learn. Each member contributes to help the team succeed. It promotes academic achievement by having students teach each other, discuss concepts, and check each other's understanding. The five key elements are positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individual and group accountability, interpersonal skills, and group processing of effectiveness. Cooperative learning creates a supportive environment where students jointly work towards goals and celebrate accomplishments together.
