Detailed explanation-1: -In the classroom, a cooperative learning lesson involves students working in small groups to accomplish a learning task. The task is assigned by the teacher with clear directions. Students then work on the task together with defined roles (i.e. reporter, spokesperson, researcher, recorder).
Detailed explanation-2: -In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cooperative learning enhances student motivation by giving them more control over their learning experiences. Control, as stated earlier, is a great motivator. The focus of cooperative learning is to involve students actively in the learning process (Slavin, 1980).
Detailed explanation-4: -More than Just Working in Groups Individual Accountability: The essence of individual accountability in cooperative learning is “students learn together, but perform alone.” This ensures that no one can “hitch-hike” on the work of others.
