Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to achieve a common goal. It encourages active learning and motivation, increases academic performance, and improves social skills. Research shows cooperative learning enhances personal development and self-esteem while promoting literacy and language skills. Studies also find that computer-assisted cooperative learning does not isolate students but can foster social development. Effective cooperative learning involves mixed-ability grouping, interdependence, teaching social skills, individual accountability, and group processing.

skills.

fairly natural learning vehicle for cooperative
(at times called promotive) learning.
