This book was released on 2009 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research findings have determined that teaching methods, among other factors, ha ve an impact on elementary students' science achievement. Educators have been st riving to devise teaching methods to improve science outcomes. A variety of teac hing strategies that involve hands-on activities and that allow students to be m ore independent learners have been designed to be used in science classrooms. On e of those methods is cooperative learning. Proponents argue that by working wit h others and sharing their experiences, one can see different points of view and can thereby maximize learning as well as developing interpersonal and communica tion skills. Many educators believe that this is an effective method because thi s is the way that scientists and engineers work. The review of the literature revealed unresolved disagreement concerning the eff ect of cooperative learning. Research showed that cooperative learning can have a positive, negative, or no effect on learners' academic achievement. In additio n to that there was a scarcity of research on cooperative elementary science in general, and lower elementary science in particular. The purpose of this study w as to investigate the effect of cooperative learning on elementary students' sci ence achievement, attitudes towards science, and attitudes towards cooperative l earning. In addition to that, the study investigated the challenges that the tea chers face during cooperative learning. A sample of (34) students from two grade 3 classes in a private school in Beirut city participated in this experimental/descriptive study, whereby a science uni t was taught to the two classes using two different methodologies: Cooperative l earning (experimental group) and direct instruction (control group). Pre- and po st- tests were administered to both groups to compare students' achievement befo re and after the intervention, and an attitude questionnaire was administered at the same time. Later, the focus group approach was used to investigate their at titudes towards science and cooperative learning. In addition to that, the teach er was interviewed to discuss her role and the challenges that she faces when co operative learning is implemented. Results of the study showed that cooperative learning had no effect on students' science achievement. However, it had a significant ...

This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes student learning. Recently, the research focus has moved to the role of teachers’ discourse during cooperative learning and its effects on the quality of group discussions and the learning achieved. However, although the benefits of cooperative learning are well documented, implementing this pedagogical practice in classrooms is a challenge that many teachers have difficulties accomplishing. Difficulties may occur because teachers often do not have a clear understanding of the basic tenets of cooperative learning and the research and theoretical perspectives that have informed this practice and how they translate into practical applications that can be used in their classrooms. In effect, what do teachers need to do to affect the benefits widely documented in research? A reluctance to embrace cooperative learning may also be due to the challenge it poses to teachers’ control of the learning process, the demands it places on classroom organisational changes, and the personal commitments teachers need to make to sustain their efforts. Moreover, a lack of understanding of the key role teachers need to play in embedding cooperative learning into the curricula to foster open communication and engagement among teachers and students, promote cooperative investigation and problem-solving, and provide students with emotionally and intellectually stimulating learning environments may be another contributing factor. The Teacher's Role in Implementing Cooperative Learning in the Classroom provides readers with a comprehensive overview of these issues with clear guidelines on how teachers can embed cooperative learning into their classroom curricula to obtain the benefits widely attributed to this pedagogical practice. It does so by using language that is appropriate for both novice and experienced educators. The volume provides: an overview of the major research and theoretical perspectives that underpin the development of cooperative learning pedagogy; outlines how specific small group experiences can promote thinking and learning; discusses the key role teachers play in promoting student discourse; and, demonstrates how interaction style among students and teachers is crucial in facilitating discussion and learning. The collection of chapters includes many practical illustrations, drawn from the contributors’ own research of how teachers can use cooperative learning pedagogy to facilitate thinking and learning among students across different educational settings.

This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book entitled “co-operative learning: a strategy for effective classroom teaching in social science” (An empirical study) has been specially designed to equip the teacher and teacher educators with as much knowledge on all aspects as per recommendations of NPE-1986, NCF-2005and 2011. Education is one of the most important factors in achieving the developmental goals of a country. Social Science is one among those subjects which is an essential element of education. Social Science is a subject which broadens the horizon of an individual and develops various skills and provides opportunity for the professional growth of an individual. Social Science has become a greater value in the present day; Social Science has spread its net on all over the fields of life. Before the days of early printing when books were not easily available, the knowledge was imparted by the teachers from their own store by lecturing and discussion. With the advancement of educational technology and educational research the educationists evolved many teaching skills and techniques, which resulted in effective teaching. The teachers are required to teach in such a way xii that the students should learn better, understand well and also feel interested while learning. The scope of the book has been made broad-based and comprehensive and the approach is practical and functional. Practical approach followed in dealing with topics such as model approach with reference to Cooperative learning model, currents trends in social science teaching-learning process like collaborative learning approach, methodology, analysis and interpretation of data and at the end findings of research along with educational implications of present study are discussed. The author, therefore hope that this book which is very informative for teachers working at secondary schools and teacher-educators. We hope that this book would meet the needs of both the students, teachers and teacher educators and especially would be researchers in the field of education. We look forward to and appreciate suggestions from the intelligentsia to improve the book.

Download or read book Cooperative Learning written by Shlomo Sharan and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-03-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of theoretical and empirical research addresses the most recent advances in cooperative learning and its applications, implications, and effects on teachers and students at both the elementary and secondary levels. The central concern of the contributors is how a set of particular instruction methods affects people in classrooms and what this form of instruction contributes or fails to contribute to them. In their attempt to illuminate some of the major effects of cooperative learning methods, the contributors discuss a number of theoretical and practical issues not covered elsewhere, including the effects of cooperative learning on teachers, on high school science studies, on student motivation, and on the acquisition of group process and learning skills. Educational psychologists and researchers as well as teachers in training will find Cooperative Learning an illuminating source of information about a model of teaching that, the contributors argue, produces a wide range of positive effects on both the teacher and student populations. Taken together, these chapters demonstrate a wider applicability and more socially and psychologically important impacts of cooperative learning than have been documented before. Among the topics addressed are cooperative learning and achievement, treating status problems in the cooperative classroom, cooperative learning models, teachers' verbal behavior in cooperative and whole-class instruction, and the effects of cooperative learning on ethnic relations. The contributors are united in their belief that cooperative learning promises to provide a viable alternative to the predominantly verbal-presentation type of teaching that is still the norm in most Western classrooms. The research reported here will help establish a central role for cooperative learning methods in the training and practice of classroom instruction as we enter the 1990s.
