WHAT IS COOPERATIVE LEARNING?

Cooperative Learning refers to a set of instructional methods in which students work in small, mixed-ability learning teams.

The students in each team are responsible not only for learning the material being taught, but also for helping their teammates learn.

WHY COOPERATIVE LEARNING?

Page 6: ENGAGING STUDENTS THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING: IDEAS FOR SUCCESS Chris Jonassen Troy Elementary School

WE LEARN: 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both see and hear 70% of what is discussed with others

80% of what we experience personally

95% of what we teach someone else

HELPFUL HINTS FOR COOPERATIVE LEARNING

ACTIVITIES Monitor the noise level and have consequences when kids get too loud.

If you are asked the same question by two groups, you may want to stop the whole class to clarify and take additional questions.

Use a rubric or checklist for students to grade their group’s collaboration.

Assign a group monitor if you are concerned about off task behavior. Assign a role to each student.
