Three Kinds of Learning

1. Independent – Students “work independently on their own learning goals at the own pace and in their own space to achieve a preset criterion of excellence”.

2. Competitive – Students “engage in a win-lose battle to see who is best”.“The strong learn to glory, not in their strength, but that they are better” – John Dewey in Moral Principles of Education

PIES - The Heart of Cooperative Learning• P Positive Interdependence• Learn the assigned material and ensure that all

members of the group learn the assigned material

• I Individual Accountability• Individual accountability is the key to ensuring that all

group members are strengthened by learning cooperatively

• E Equal Participation• All members participate and are included

• S Simultaneous Interaction• Equal and frequent participation and response

Rules of Group Learning1. No one is finished until he or she is sure

that every one of his or her teammates will get 100%.

2. When members have questions, try to get answers within the teams before asking the teacher.

3. Teammates should explain answers to each other rather than simply checking each other then going on.

Page 6: Cooperative Learning. Three Kinds of Learning 1.Independent – Students “work independently on their own learning goals at the own pace and in their own

Rules of Group Decision-Making1. Each member has a say.

2. No decision is reached unless all consent.

3. No one consents if theyhave a serious objection.

Numbered Heads Together

1. Each team member is assigned a number2. Ask a question.3. Signal teams to confer with each other

and make sure everyone knows the correct answer

4. Call out a number5. Only members with that number can

respond

Page 8: Cooperative Learning. Three Kinds of Learning 1.Independent – Students “work independently on their own learning goals at the own pace and in their own

Think-Pair-Share/Square1. Members listen carefully while the presenter

poses a question.2. Members are given TIME to THINK about

the question.3. Members are cued to pair up, where they

have a chance.4. Members are then asked to share with the

whole class – that is class discussion.5. In Think-Pair-Square, members share with

the team rather than going to class discussion.Listen Think Rehearse

Share

Roundtable

1. The teacher asks a question which has as many answers as possible.

2. Each team member write an answer, and then passes the paper on to the next person, who must write a different answer.

3. Impose time limits and other incentives.4. Yes! Team members can help one

another!

Pairs Check1. Divide into pairs (within teams).2. Member #1 works the 1st problem on paper while

talking through the problem, meanwhile…Member #2 watches, coaches, checks, and PRAISES!

3. After both have written the 1st problem on their paper, they switch roles:Member #2 works the next problem while talking through the problem, meanwhile…Member #1 watches, coaches, checks, and PRAISES!

4. When the pair has finished two problems, they check with the other pair in their team. The whole team compares answers and processes (if necessary), and resolves any discrepancies or problems.

5. The whole team gives a “team handshake” (or whatever) and then go back to their pairs and repeat the process.

Assigning and Using Roles•Successful cooperative learning ensures

the careful assignment of specific roles.▫It is essential that roles individualize and

provide specific needs for certain students•Students must be taught to analyze their

individual and group progress – including strengths & weaknesses – as they continue to learn to play various roles
