The document discusses cooperative learning as a strategy for implementing IT-supported learning in schools that may not have enough computers. Cooperative learning involves students working in small groups on common tasks. It has several benefits, including encouraging active learning, increasing academic performance, and improving social skills. When using computers, students tend to interact and help each other, showing computers can foster positive social behaviors. For cooperative learning to be effective, teachers must assign mixed-ability groups, establish shared goals and individual accountability, teach social skills, and help groups process information.
cooperative learning with computer
- 1. Build the Dream, Shape the Future, Uphold the Sublime
- 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.
- 3. 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 supported learning in our schools.
- 4. Definition of Cooperative Learning Is learning by small groups of students who work together in a common learning task. It is also called Group Learning.
- 5. ELEMENTS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING A common goal Interdependence Interaction Individual accountability Social skills Elements of Cooperative Learning
- 8. ENCOURAGES ACTIVE LEARNING, WHILE MOTIVATING STUDENTS.
- 10. PROMOTES LITERACY AND LANGUAGE SKILLS.
- 12. 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.
- 14. Based on a study conducted, researchers agree that the computer is a natural learning vehicle for cooperative (at times called promotive) learning. Thus, it shows that when students work with computers in groups, they cluster and interact with each other for advice and mutual help.
- 15. 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. 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. Tasks of Teachers in Cooperative Learning 1. Assigning students to mixed- ability teams 2. Establishing positive interdependence 3. Teaching cooperative skills 4. Insuring individual accountability 5. Helping groups process information
- 18. 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.
- 19. 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.
- 20. Therefore assign the teacher several tasks in order to ensure collaborative learning. These are: Assigning students to mixed- ability teams Establishing positive interdependence Teaching cooperative social skills Insuring individual accountability, and Helping groups process information
- 21. 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.
