Cooperative learning:
This involves dividing students into groups limited in number (between 2 and 5 individuals) per group, with each group including varying levels of understanding, and each group working to achieve a shared purpose among themselves.
Characteristics of cooperative learning:
It is implemented through a set of strategies rather than through a single strategy, and this is what distinguishes it from other teaching strategies.
Cooperative teaching situations are social situations, where students are divided into small groups who work together to achieve shared goals through each student in the group contributing effort towards achieving the goals.
The student in their group plays two complementary roles that affirm their activity, namely teaching and learning at the same time, with self-motivation, and therefore the effort made in the situation can lead to the learning effect being retained and transferred.
