Literature ReviewCooperative learning is describe as a successful teaching strategy in which

small teams of students of different levels of ability are given a variety of

learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member

of the team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for

helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement

(Balkcom, 1992).

Positive effects were found in all grade levels, in urban, rural and suburban

schools (Slavin, 1991). In meta-analysis of 158 studies, Johnson & Johnson

stated that current research findings prove that cooperative learning

methods are likely to produce positive learning methods were used as

compared to individualistic or competitive methods of learning (Johnson,

Johnson & Stanne, 2000).

Students completing cooperative learning group tasks tend to have higher

academic test scores; higher self-esteem, greater numbers of positive social

skills; fewer stereotypes of individuals of other races or ethnic groups; and

greater comprehension of the content and skills they are studying (Johnson,

1993).

Conclusion

As a conclusion, I believe that cooperative learning is one

of the most effective instructional strategies that teachers

can be used in the classrooms as students will be able to

improve their level of understanding of concept and

contents of Commerce subject in effective way. But more

than that, I feel that the cooperative learning experiences

allow students to gain valuable experience working in

group that also improve their social skills.
