  2. Cooperative Learning Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within cooperative situations, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and beneficial to all other group members. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec 1998 p.1:5).

  3. The benefits of Cooperative Learning 1 • Pro – Allows for the development of critical thinking and affords people the opportunity to develop new methods of problem solving (Gokhale,1995)

  4. 2 • Con – Quiet or Shy people may not function well or contribute (Gokhale,1995) (Middlecamp,1997) • Pro – Becoming familiar with a few people by working in a small group can help make a person more comfortable in the larger class (Johnson & Johnson,1989)

  5. 3 • Con – People may not be as committed or want to pull their own weight (Middlecamp,1997) • Pro (K12) – When working in groups, kids generally won’t want to be a burden on their friends and/or be reported to a teacher; (college and professional) – People will do work because they want to maintain their reputation and excluded from group work.

  6. 4 • Pro – Learn to Socialize (K12) or Networking/enculturation (College or Professional) • An example for this would be English as a Second Language student getting more practice speaking English (Wichadee & Orawiwatnakul,2012)

  7. 5 • Pro – Cooperative Learning can reduce the number of resources required for education (Cobb,2010)
