Abstract :

Cooperative learning, one kind of student–centred learning approach helps the students to obtain practical learning skills, abilities for effective communication and proficiency in term of understanding knowledge, and it promotes positive student attitudes towards their own learning. In the traditional learning setting, the majority of interactions are teacher–student. This can create a competitive environment and produce a passive attitude towards learning. Cooperative learning method helps to minimize the competitiveness in the learning environment by encouraging students to work together. In addition, it is claimed to promote more positive student attitudes toward their own learning, enhance more positive relationships between participants. Research based on cooperative learning shows that this is better than traditional method in all aspects. This paper highlights the important aspects of this method in promoting learning and other skills among the peer team.
