Abstract

The article deals with the principles of cooperative learning and the ways it changes students' and teachers' roles in classrooms. Cooperative learning is an instructional strategy in which small groups of students work together on a common task. The authors focus on five basic elements that allow successful small-group learning: positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individual, group behaviors and group processing. The authors studied three main types of cooperative learning and their peculiarities. They are formal cooperative learning, informal cooperative learning and base group learning. Use of cooperative learning gives students more opportunities to actively participate in their learning, question and challenge each other, share and discuss their ideas, and internalize their learning. The authority of setting goals, assessing learning, and facilitating learning is shared by all. The authors came to conclusion that along with improving academic learning, cooperative learning helps students engage in thoughtful discourse and examine different perspectives, and it has been proven to increase students' self-esteem, motivation, and empathy.
