2. Reality dictates that school face the fact
that each classroom, especially in public
or government schools, may not be
equipped with appropriate number of
computers.
The creativity of the teacher will have to
respond to the situation, and so
cooperative learning will likely be the
answer to the implementation of IT
Introduction
10. In addition, there are studies which show
that cooperative learning enhances:
1.Personal and social development among
students.
2. Self- esteem
3.Social relations between racially and
culturally different students.
11. Disadvantages of Cooperative
Learning
• Students in the group are having
conversations that has nothing to do with
the lesson.
• Students becoming impatient with others
in the group ceasing to work
cooperatively.
• One bright students doing the most of
the work.
12. Cooperative learning and the
computer
Based on a study conducted,
researchers agree that the
computer is a natural learning
vehicle for cooperative (at times
called promotive) learning.
13. Cooperative learning and the
computer
Thus, it shows that when
students work with computers in
groups, they cluster and interact
with each other for advice and
mutual help.
14. Cooperative learning and the
computer
Moreover, given the option to
work individually or in a group,
the students generally wish to
work together in computer-
based and non-computer-based
activities.
15. Cooperative learning and the
computer
Reflecting on this, psychologists
think the computer fosters this
positive social behavior because
it has a display monitor – where
they look something in common.
16. Components of cooperative
learning
• Educators are still wary about the
computer’s role in cooperative
learning. Thus they pose the
position that the use of
computers do not automatically
result in cooperative learning.
17. Components of cooperative
learning
• There therefore assign the teacher
several tasks in order to ensure
collaborative learning. These are:
-Assigning students to mixed-ability teams
-Establishing positive interdependence
19. Components of cooperative
learning
These are in addition to
assigning a common work goal in
which each member of the group
will realize that their group will
not succeed unless everyone
contributes to the groups’
success.
20. Components of cooperative
learning
It is also important for the
teacher limits learning group
clusters (six is the ideal number
in a group) so there can be closer
involvement in thinking and
learning.
