Lesson 13 Cooperative Learning with the Computer


C
- In the previous lesson, student-centered classroom was emphasized. In connection, this lesson deals with cooperative learning. Cooperative or collaborative learning is learning by small groups of students who work together in a common learning task. By this, there are five elements needed. These are: a common goal, interdependence Interaction, individual accountability and social skills. Cooperative learning really enhances personal and social development among students of all ages. Going back to the computer, researchers have made studies on the learning interaction between the student and the computer. It has been said that computer may foster student learning in isolation that hinders the development of the student's social skills.
E
- I have experience doing a computer work with a partner. We have a common goal, and that is to make a ppt presentation for our report. By that, I can see evidently that there is really a cooperative learning among students when working with a computer. Same also when we do this to our students. Actually, there are a lot we can get out of working with a computer. If we want our students to be collaborative and cooperative we might as well let them have computer works.
R
- Cooperative and collaborative learning can foster skills and attitudes certainly on the society. School, as a home and teachers as parents should really impart something to their students. Letting the students work together would be as well healthy in learning something. As what a quote says "more heads are better than one" and so teachers will just become facilitators in the classroom and let the students do hands-on learning or the so-called experiential learning.
A
- To have a healthy learning environment the teacher must let his/her students be in groups or in pairs. Learning is very broad, learning couldn't be achieve in a snap and it is very better to have a cooperative relationships between students of the same classrooms. So teachers! This is a very big challenge to let our students explore and experience hands-on learning with the use of computers.
