In those approaches, I select cooperative learning. Cooperative learning is an educational approach in which students work together in groups to achieve common learning goals. It is based on principles of social interdependence, mutual cooperation, as well as individual accountability. Cooperative learning improves the ability of students such as problem-solving, discussions, projects, and presentations. Each group member’s success is tied to the success of the entire group. Meanwhile, cooperative learning helps students strengthen their individual accountability, each student is held accountable for their own learning and contribution to the group. Students engage in meaningful discussion, share ideas, and provide feedback to one another. Under this approach, all the group members will learn how to effectively collaborate with others, including skills such as active listening, conflict resolution, and task division. These skills are valuable both inside and outside of the course.
Here has an example to verify what effects cooperative learning is taking for. Tom was in the second year of high school. He had an intellectual disability that made him not willing to participate in most activities. Because he was lacking in cooperative skills, his teacher took him to join various cooperating learning groups. At the end of the course was quite satisfying. As Tom found that he could take on roles in groups and contribute his thinking and concepts, which include organization of resources, demonstrating his ideal through different types of platforms, as well as cooperating with his group member, to ensure the project went well. After cooperative learning, Tom realized that he could make a valuable contribution to the team.
So far, cooperative learning has been shown to have several benefits for students. It promotes active engagement and participation, enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skill, and increases motivation and enjoyment of learning. Cooperative learning provides an effective way to enhance learning outcomes.
