Significance of Cooperative Learning among Students

Abstract

Cooperative learning is a learning technique or process in which students work together in groups. This form of learning is completely different from individual learning and has its own benefits. In the traditional educational system, more importance is given to competition than cooperation. Students compete against each other with an intention to attain greater academic results or scores. But cooperative learning aims to improve the relationship between students and enhance cooperation among them and also motivates them to work together to attain a common objective or goal. The ability or willingness to cooperate is a quality that each human being should possess. This paper aims to analyze the significance of cooperative learning among students and also focuses on the perception of students towards cooperative learning.
