Cooperative learning is one such approach which makes the students to learn as group to maximize their own and each others ’learning. The focus of this strategy is on inter-personal exchange of opinions, intellectual challenge, critical thinking, higher level reasoning-the skills which are highly valued in the age of globalization. It is being increasingly felt that thinking process of students is being suppressed by competitive learning environment prevalent in schools.
