Principles of cooperative learning

Cooperative Learning is a relationship in a group of students that requires positive interdependence (a sense of sink or swim together), individual accountability (each of us has to contribute and learn), interpersonal skills (communication, trust, leadership, decision making, and conflict resolution), face-to-face promotive interaction, and processing (reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better). In short, cooperative learning refers to organised, managed and structured groupwork in which students work cooperatively in small groups to achieve academic as well as affective and social goals.
