Cooperative learning - | Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. |
cooperative activities | individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and other group members. |
Cooperative learning is | instructional use of small groups so students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. |
Cooperative teacher gives assingment then | groups work til all successfully understand and complete it. |
Cooperative benefits are all group members | gain from each other’s efforts (Your success benefits me and mine you),all members share a common fate(all sink or swim together),all celebrate when a member is recognized for achievement |
In a positive cooperative learning situation there is an | interdependence among students’ goal attainments; students know they can reach their learning goals if and only if the other students in the learning group also reach their goals (Deutsch, 1962; Johnson & Johnson, 1989). |
In a positive cooperative learning situation team member’s success depends on | individual effort - others who contribute needed knowledge, skills, resources. No one person has all information,skills, or resources for the highest quality presentation. |
Why Use Cooperative Learning? | Students’ learning goals structured to promote cooperative, competitive, or individualistic efforts. |
contrast to cooperative situations, competitive situations are ones where students | work against each other to achieve goal that only one or few can attain. competition has negative interdependence among goal achievements; think they can obtain their goals only if others fail to obtain their goals (Deutsch,1962;Johnson & Johnson,1989) |
Norm-referenced evaluation of achievement occurs - result is | students either work hard to do better than classmates, or they take it easy because they do not believe they have a chance to win. |
In individualistic learning situations students work alone to accomplish goals | unrelated to others and are evaluated on a criterion-referenced basis. My achievement is independent;think learning goals not related to others work Deutsch,1962, Johnson &Johnson,1989)-focus own interest personal success-ignore other successes/failures |
long history of research on cooperative, competitive, and individualistic efforts began | the first research study in 1898, nearly 600 experimental studies and over 100 correlational studies have been conducted (see Johnson & Johnson, 1989) |
Johnson & Johnson, 1989-3 major categories: | achievement/productivity, positive relationships, and psychological health. |
Johnson & Johnson research clearly indicates that cooperation, compared with competitive and individualistic efforts, typically results in | higher achievement and greater productivity,more caring,supportive, and committed relationships,greater psychological health, social competence, and self-esteem. |
Johnson & Johnson, 1989 positive effects that cooperation has on so many is | important outcomes makes cooperative learning one of the most valuable tools educators have. |

Cooperative Learning for all? | No some students won't work in groups for good of all |
Mastering the essential components of cooperation allows teachers to 1: | Take existing lessons, curricula, and courses and structure them cooperatively. |
Mastering the essential components of cooperation allows teachers to 2: | Tailor cooperative learning lessons to meet the unique instructional circumstances and needs of the curricula, subject areas, and students. |
Mastering the essential components of cooperation allows teachers to 3. | Diagnose the problems some students may have in working together and intervene toincrease the effectiveness of the student learning groups |
