Abstract

Cooperative learning is one of the PAK-21 learning methods that emphasize student-centered learning. This method makes students work together in seeking knowledge which in turn makes the learning process more interesting. Thus, the Ministry of Education Malaysia has strived to improve student development by encouraging the use of cooperative learning methods during the teaching and learning process. The objectives of the study are to identify the differences in high-achieving and low-achieving students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of cooperative learning, to identify high and low-achieving students' perceptions of the effectiveness of cooperative learning and to identify high-achieving and motivated learning motivations in cooperative learning in English primary school. A total of 227 Year 5 students from 3 schools were randomly selected using the survey method. The results show that there is no significant difference in the perception of high-achieving students and low-achieving students on the effectiveness of cooperative learning. Meanwhile, the average mean for the level of perception of high-achieving and low-achieving students on the effectiveness of primary school cooperative learning is high at 4,076 and the mean for the level of learning motivation of high-achieving and low-achieving students on the effectiveness of cooperative learning in primary school English is also high at 3.998. Cooperative learning has a positive impact on the learning motivation and perception of the next high-achieving students and low-achieving students can work together and establish good relationships during the teaching and learning process.
