COOPERATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
COLLABORATIVE
• Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project
• Collaboration is a philosophy of interaction and personal lifestyle.
• John Myers (Cooperative Learning vol 11 #4 July 1991) points out that the dictionary definitions of "collaboration", derived from its Latin root, focus on the process of working together
• E.g :- A group of students discussing a lecture- Students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment
COOPERATIVE
• Cooperative learning is defined by a set of processes which help people interact together in order to accomplish a specific goal or develop an end product which is usually content specific.
• 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.
• In order to create an environment in which cooperative learning can take place, three things are necessary. - Students need to feel safe, but also challenged. - Groups need to be small enough that everyone can contribute. - The task students work together on must be clearly defined.
