 WHAT IS IT?

The Cooperative Learning Models

 WHAT IS IT?

The Cooperative Learning Model gives Characteristics of Cooperative Learning:

students an opportunity to work
collaboratively with peers. It uses positive
structured peer interactions to support
student learning.
• Positive interdependence
• Individual accountability
• Group processing
• Promotive interaction
• Interpersonal and small group social skills
 WHAT IS IT?

Teaching models that fall under the

Cooperative Learning Models ”umbrella”
• General Cooperative Learning model
• Jigsaw model
• Graffiti model

 WHEN IS IT USED?

It is used to:
• Promote positive relationships among
diverse student populations
• Encourage the increase of students’ self-
esteem
• Foster the development of creative and
critical thinking
• Support inclusive education practices

Students participate in assessments
administered by their teacher. Assessments
might include formal assessments, such as
quizzes or tests, as well as alternative
assessments, such as projects.

 HOW COULD THIS MODEL BE USED?

Step 1: Introduce Jigsaw Model Step 2: Name, teach, and practice targeted
The teacher explains to students what the social skills

how it is changed by human activity. The
teacher explains steps in the learning
process and the tasks that will help the
class achieve its academic and social
learning goals.
 HOW COULD THIS MODEL BE USED?
Step 3: Assign heterogeneously grouped
students to expert and learning groups
The teacher forms expert groups that focus
on one of the following topics: Air, Land,
Water, Ozone Layer, Combined effects. The
teacher also forms home groups that
consist of one expert from each group.
Step 4: Assemble expert groups and set task
The teacher meets with the various expert
groups and provides them with specific
instructions about their task in investigating
the topic. The teacher provides resources
and materials that students need to
complete their task.
 HOW COULD THIS MODEL BE USED?

Step 5: Experts teach in their learning Step 6: Measure group and individual
groups accountability
Students work together in expert groups to The teacher facilitates the process of
create materials that can be used to teach measuring individual and group
their peers. The teacher reviews expert accountability. The teacher watches
group materials for accuracy and quality. students and collects information so that
she can identify two award-winning groups.
 HOW COULD THIS MODEL BE USED?

Step 7: Evaluate and provide team

recognition
The teacher implements assessment with a
quiz and identifies the highest-. performing
group. She recognizes the expert group that
does the best job of sharing work
responsibilities evenly and the home group
whose members have done the best job
teaching one another.
