Study Notes
Understanding Cooperative Learning Structure
- Cooperative learning is when students work together in small teams to solve a problem or complete a task.
- The goal of cooperative learning is to maximize individual and collective learning.
5 Elements of Cooperative Learning
- Positive Interdependence (We instead of Me): Team members rely on each other to achieve a common goal.
- Face-to-Face Interaction: Students actively engage in discussions, explaining and elaborating on ideas.
- Individual & Group Accountability: Each student is responsible for their own learning and contributes to the group's success.
- Interpersonal and Small Group Accountability: Teams need explicit teaching of social skills like communication and conflict resolution.
- Group Self-Evaluation: Teams reflect on their learning process and how they can improve.
KAGAN COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRUCTURE
- Team Line Up: Students form lines based on specific criteria, promoting communication and concept development.
- Round Robin: Everyone in the group gets a chance to present their ideas in turn, allowing for equal participation.
- Circle the Sage: A structure to answer group questions where individuals with knowledge become "sages" and share their insights.
- Group Discussion: Simple yet effective, students discuss topics with their peers.
- Three Step Interview: Participants pair up and interview each other, then share their learnings with the group.
- Think-Pair-Share: Students think individually, discuss their ideas in pairs, and then share them with the whole group.
- Jigsaw: Students become experts on specific topics, sharing their knowledge with their groupmates.
- Corners: Participants choose from different options and discuss their choices, fostering self-awareness and group interaction.
- Guess-the-Fib: Students try to fool their teammates by presenting two unbelievable facts and one believable fib.
- Inside-Outside Circle: Students stand in two circles and rotate, sharing information with their partners.
- Spend-A-Buck: Students make group decisions by allocating "money" to different choices, encouraging participation and consensus-building.
Teaching Strategies in Mathematics
- Lecture-Discussion Method: Combines lecturing with active student involvement through questioning, building on prior knowledge, and presenting information systematically.
- Cooperative and Collaborative Learning: Students work together to explore concepts, with responsibility for both individual and group learning.
- Jigsaw Method: Students become experts on different aspects of a topic and share their knowledge with their group.
- Think-Pair-Share: A structured discussion process where students think individually, share their ideas in pairs, and then contribute to a wider discussion.
