TEACHING COOPERATIVE SOCIAL LEARNING

In teaching social cooperative skills it must:
Seating students together is not enough to ensure teamwork. Many kids have very little idea how to interact appropriately with their classmates. They simply lack the social skills needed to perform the most basic cooperative tasks. Lack of social skills is probably the biggest factor contributing to lack of academic success in teams. Fortunately, social skills can be taught just like academic skills. If you use a systematic approach like the one described below, you'll find that your students CAN learn how to interact appropriately and become productive team members. For more information on how to explicitly teach social skills to young children

There are steps in teaching social skills:

. Discuss the Need ,Practice the Skill
. Select a Social Skill



TEACHING SOCIAL SKILLS is we need to praise the student and have a cooperative work with in the class.

student centered learning

Student-centered teaching methods shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners. These methods include active learning, in which students solve problems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain, debate, or brainstorm during class; cooperative learning, in which students work in teams on problems and projects under conditions that assure both positive interdependence and individual accountability; and inductive teaching and learning, in which students are first presented with challenges (questions or problems) and learn the course material in the context of addressing the challenges. Inductive methods include inquiry-based learning, case-based instruction, problem-based learning, project-based learning, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching. Student-centered methods have repeatedly been shown to be superior to the traditional teacher-centered approach to instruction, a conclusion that applies whether the assessed outcome is short-term mastery, long-term retention, or depth of understanding of course material, acquisition of critical thinking or creative problem-solving skills, formation of positive attitudes toward the subject being taught, or level of confidence in knowledge or skills.

Richard Felder has written or co-authored a number of papers about the use of active, cooperative, and inductive instructional methods in college science and engineering courses, some reporting on his own classroom research studies and some summarizing the literature. The references are listed below; those shown as hot links may be viewed and downloaded from this site. You may also view excerpts from an interview with Dr. Felder and see a list of good Web sites related to student-centered methods.

traditional classroom

Traditional teaching is concerned with the teacher being the controller of the learning environment. Power and responsibility are held by the teacher and they play the role of instructor (in the form of lectures) and decision maker (in regards to cirriculum content and specific outcomes). They regard students as having 'knowledge holes' that need to be filled with information. In short, the traditional teacher views that it is the teacher that causes learning to occur (Novak, 1998) The teacher that utilises this method effectively is constantly on the move. They may be engaged with the students as a classroom collective, individually or in groups. Their involvement would include questioning, disciplining, guiding, validating, monitoring, motivating, encouraging, suggesting, modelling and clarifying (McKenzie,2002)

There are 5 elements that must considered in cooperative learning.
*A COMMON GOAL-this factor is a vital in every group.The main target of the group will depend upon the cooperation of every members and of course with the manage of the leader.Every group together with the leader and the members will discuss what would be their purpose,and how this target will be realized.
*INTERDEPENDENCE-this aspect will become realized when the members will contribute their ideas and then that ideas will inclose to complete the task of the group.

b.)increases academic performance
Cooperative learning can increase academic performance because of the effect that cooperative learning has on self-esteem.It increases student motivation by providing peer support.As part of learning teams ,students achieve success by working with others .It encourages students to think of creative ways to convince the teacher that they have mastered the required activity.The low-achieving students can make contributions to a group and experience success ,and all students can increase understanding of ideas by explaining them to others.
