Module 1 Activity 7 - Cooperative Learning

Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning is an approach that caters to the needs of many students and it helps in the development of their collaborative skills as they work together to complete tasks.  Students will have responsibility for their learning and the teacher will only act as a guide or facilitator in this case.  When I conducted the activity, my role was to ensure that the students stuck to task.  As a matter of fact, the students were so focused that my presence was not needed.  The students had fun learning and they will always want to repeat such activities. There is no doubt that once the students are aware that a similar activity is going to take place, I will have the full complement of students on that day.
