Overview of Cooperative Learning Strategies in Mathematics Teaching and Learning

This conference paper aims to provide an overview of the potential benefits and challenges associated with implementing cooperative learning strategies in mathematics education. By examining various cooperative learning models and their impact on students' learning outcomes, the paper highlights the importance of collaboration and group work in promoting deeper understanding, higher achievement, and improved attitudes toward mathematics. Traditional instructional methods often rely on individual work and teacher-centered approaches, which may limit students' engagement and development of mathematical reasoning abilities. Cooperative learning, however, emphasizes collaboration, active participation, and peer interaction, creating a supportive and interactive learning environment. This paper reviews the literature on cooperative learning in mathematics education, discusses its benefits, and provides practical recommendations for implementing cooperative learning strategies in mathematics classrooms.

A Comprehensive of the Guided Inquiry Learning Model in Education: A Review

The abstract nature of the topics is easily understood while learning chemistry through guided inquiry. This article employs the A Review (SLR) technique to review eleven papers released between 2018 and 2023 that deal with teaching chemistry using various guided inquiry models. Three online article databases-ERIC, Scopus, and Google Scholar-were used to retrieve articles methodically. The information in this review will be helpful to educators and researchers who work in chemical education in understanding guided inquiry models, how they impact chemical learning outcomes, and how to apply them to improve students' comprehension of chemistry. The review's conclusions show how various guided inquiry strategies immerse students in a problem, offer them an investigation to work through and provide guidance on how to solve the problem. Guided inquiry models influence chemistry learning outcomes by enhancing metacognition, concept understanding, critical thinking skills, science process skills, learning outcomes, creative thinking abilities, and reducing misconceptions. Many learning models or strategies, including guided inquiry, guided inquiry-based on blended learning, guided inquiry-based on the flipped classroom, guided inquiry models integrated with STEM, and guided inquiry and task hierarchy analysis models in cooperative learning strategies, have also used different chemistry learning models.

Comparing the efficacy of two teaching strategies on students’ attitudes towards biology: A case in Ashanti Mampong municipality, Ghana

Biology is an essential and compulsory subject offered at all senior high schools in Ghana. However, the level of students’ attitude towards biology has been seen to be a result of the use of less motivating teachers’ instructional strategies. This research study examined the effect of concept mapping and cooperative learning strategies on enhancing students’ attitudes towards the development of biology in two selected deprived science-based senior high schools within the Ashanti Mampong municipality of Ghana. The study used a quasi-experimental design involving a 3 x 2 multi-factorial analysis with a positivist paradigm. A purposive sampling technique was used to obtain 498 biology students for the study. Three research instruments, the biology attitude questionnaire (BAQ), student verbal ability test items and the students’ performance test (SPT) were used in collecting the data. The results showed that the intervention improved students' attitudes towards learning biology and the development of biology activities using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in a statistical package for social science version 20. Therefore, the two strategies enhanced students’ attitudes towards the subject in the two selected institutions within the Ashanti Mampong Municipality of Ghana. The two instructional strategies should therefore be emphasized, adopted and enforced in the teaching and learning of biological concepts among all deprived science-based senior high school students in Ghana where appropriate learning and teaching resources are scarcely unavailable and elsewhere in related challenges.

Cooperative Learning Strategy Type Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) in Muthola’ah Lesson

Current trends in Arabic language learning involve the use of game-based strategies. One such strategy is the Two Stay Two Stray (TS-TS) strategy, which is a component of cooperative learning strategies aimed at encouraging students to explore the knowledge they desire. The Two Stay Two Stray (TS-TS) strategy requires a detailed design, as it is a crucial part of the teacher's task. This study is a literature review of the Two Stay Two Stray (TS-TS) strategy in learning, seeking its application format in Arabic language learning, specifically in Muthola’ah. Based on the existing literature review, there are not many designs and plans for implementing this strategy in Arabic language learning. One of the novelties of this research is the formulation of the TS-TS strategy design based on a literature review of various existing studies, integrated with the specificities of teaching Arabic, especially Muthola’ah, using the direct method applied at Walisongo Ngabar Islamic Boarding School in Ponorogo, East Java.

Effects of Cooperative Learning Strategy on Students’ Academic Achievement in Physics

The study examined effects of cooperative learning strategy on Students’ Academic Achievement in work, energy and power in 12YBE secondary schools of Gasabo district. This study employed quasi-experimental design, using non-equivalent quasi-experimental design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two schools for the study. One intact class in each school was used as the control group and the other class as the experimental group. The sample size consisted of 200 students comprising 94 in the control group and 106 in the experimental group. The experimental group was taught work, energy and power using cooperative learning ( learning together) while the control group was taught using the traditional way of teaching work, energy and power. Research instrument used for the study for data collection was Physics Achievement Test (PAT). The instrument was developed by the researcher in order to measure the rate of students’ academic achievement in physics. The instrument was administered to the students before treatment to determine the level of knowledge about the subject matter (pre-test). Then, the same instrument administered again after the treatment had been given to obtain the post test scores. The scores of the students were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using t-test. The study found that Cooperative learning method enhances active student participation and interaction. This quality led to significant learning effect in Physics. It was recommended that science teachers should be encouraged to adopt cooperative teaching/learning strategy so as to enhance active students’ participation in scientific operation

Analysis of teachers’ cooperative learning strategies and practices in physical education

ABSTRACT Teachers as implementers of the curriculum have a vital role in delivering (Casey et al., 2009) reflecting teaching approaches in physical education classes. Cooperative learning is a teaching approach that meets the curricular requirements in Germany as well as considers the increasing heterogeneity of students. However, there is limited research about strategies and practices, which teachers use to implement cooperative learning successfully in physical education. To bridge this gap, our study examines teachers’ perspectives on implementation strategies and application approaches of cooperative learning lessons. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 German physical education teachers based on the principle of contrasting. The interviews were conducted from October to November 2022 as problem-related interviews, guided by a theory-based semi-structured guideline. We used qualitative content analysis to analyse the interview data. Analysis was expanded to identify different types of practicing cooperative learning in physical education. The findings reveal that teachers address and implement forms of cooperative learning quite heterogeneously. Teachers’ implementation strategies were bottom-up, top-down or hybrid. Reactions to difficulties were avoidance, flexibility, implementing rules, training social skills or restructuring. In addition, five different types of cooperative learning practices were determined (‘the avoider’, ‘the quitter’, ‘the student-centred’, ‘the theory-led’ and ‘the flexible one’). While ‘the avoider’ and ‘the quitter’ type teachers stopped using cooperative learning, the other types used this teaching approach often in their physical education classes. ‘The flexible one’ used the hybrid implementation of cooperative learning and reported the lowest difficulties. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of teachers’ strategies and practices to depict how cooperative learning processes in physical education are implemented. Findings can be used to further develop concepts for cooperative learning in physical education. At the same time, this may help to better prepare teachers to realise cooperative learning arrangements and to deal successfully with corresponding challenges.

A Gender-Based Comparison of Science Teachers’ Knowledge about Instructional Strategies

This research study delves into the realm of science education, specifically focusing on the knowledge and utilization of instructional strategies by science teachers. The primary objective is to investigate whether there are discernible gender-based differences in science teachers' awareness, understanding, and implementation of various instructional strategies, encompassing lecture-based methods, demonstration techniques, problem-solving approaches, questioning and inquiry-based strategies, as well as cooperative learning strategies within the classroom. The study employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQs) to gather data from a diverse sample of 826 secondary school science teachers and analyze the gender-based level of secondary school science teachers’ knowledge about instructional strategies using Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-24). This study uncovers that gender-based differences exist not only in the level of awareness and understanding of instructional strategies but also in their practical implementation. The outcomes of this study hold significance for both educational theory and practice. By identifying gender-related trends in science teachers' instructional strategy awareness and application, science teachers, administrators, and policymakers can gain insights into areas that might necessitate targeted professional development or intervention.

Enhancing anatomy education through cooperative learning: harnessing virtual reality for effective gross anatomy learning.

The advent of virtual reality (VR) in education offers unique possibilities for facilitating cooperative learning strategies, particularly in fields demanding intricate spatial understanding, such as gross anatomy. This study investigates the impact of integrating cooperative learning strategies within a VR-based gross anatomy curriculum, focusing on enhancing students' anatomy knowledge and skills. We analyzed the performance of two cohorts of first-year nursing students across five semesters (2016-2020), where traditional learning methods were used in the first three semesters (2016-2018), and a VR-based cooperative learning approach was adopted in the last two semesters (2019-2020). Our findings suggest that the VR-based cooperative learning group achieved significantly higher scores in their gross anatomy laboratory courses compared to their counterparts learning through traditional methods. This research provides valuable insights into how the integration of VR technology and cooperative learning strategies can not only enhance learning outcomes but also improve the VR learning experience by reducing motion sickness. It accentuates the potential of VR-based cooperative learning as an impactful educational tool in anatomy education. Future research should further explore the optimal integration of VR and cooperative learning strategies in diverse course types and their potential to enhance educational outcomes and the learning experience.

Neural Network-Based Hybrid Three-Dimensional Position Control for a Flapping Wing Aerial Vehicle.

This article presents a novel neural network-based hybrid mode-switching control strategy, which successfully stabilizes the flapping wing aerial vehicle (FWAV) to the desired 3-D position. First, a novel description for the dynamics, resolved in the proposed vertical frame, is proposed to facilitate further position loop controller design. Then, a radial base function neural network (RBFNN)-based adaptive control strategy is proposed, which employs a switching strategy to keep the system away from dangerous flight conditions and achieve efficient flight. The learning process of the neural network pauses, resumes, or alternates its update strategy when switching between different modes. Moreover, saturation functions and barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) are introduced to constrain the lateral velocity within proper ranges. The closed-loop system is theoretically guaranteed to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded with arbitrarily small bound, based on Lyapunov techniques and hybrid system analysis. Finally, experimental results demonstrate the excellent reliability and efficiency of the proposed controller. Compared to existing works, the innovations are the put forward of the vertical frame and the cooperative switching learning and control strategies.

Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Teknik Pembelajaran Matematika di Sekolah Luar Biasa Berbasis Kooperatif Tipe Think Pair Share

The learning capacity of students with special needs must be maximized in learning mathematics in SLB in an efficient and inclusive way. Think pair share, a cooperative learning strategy that promotes collaboration, active involvement, and contact between students, is one strategy that can be applied. In this study, we will examine how think-pair-share cooperative learning is used to teach mathematics in special schools and how it affects student learning outcomes. By using literature study methodology, this research method is qualitative. Reading and categorizing books and various scientific journal articles is a data collection method. The results of the study indicate that there is a beneficial effect of exposure to cooperative learning based on think pair share on student learning outcomes in special schools. Through collaboration in groups, students with special needs can support each other and gain a better understanding of mathematics. cooperative learning type think pair share also increases student participation in the learning process, develops individual thinking power, and increases their self-confidence. The application of cooperative learning-based mathematics learning techniques of the think pair share type requires the active role of the teacher as a facilitator and learning director. Teachers need to plan activities according to students' needs, provide appropriate support, and manage interactions between students. In order for the learning process to be successful, it is also crucial to pay attention to the qualities of study groups. This study significantly advances inclusive mathematics teaching strategies in special education settings. The results of this study are supposed to serve as a guide for math educators and teachers as they develop and implement engaging and effective math programs for students with special needs.

Final Year Mathematics Students Perception of e-Learning and Instruction During the Covid-19 Era

The current trend of most tertiary teaching to reach out students in different modes such as distance, weekends and sandwich resorts largely to online system. The Covid-19 pandemic brought up various lock-down strategies in most countries. This allowed most universities such as Valley View University (a Premier Private University in Ghana, West Africa) to start with online lesson delivery modes to help maintain their academic calendar. The aim of this study was to investigate into the perception final year students and lecturers in the Mathematics Education department had on the Online Learning System during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown era. The study adopted an explanatory investigation design through a sample size of 378 respondents comprising 36 lecturers and 342 students. Students’ and lecturers’ response to questionnaires put in a Likert Scale were investigated in numerous descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that lecturers registered a higher positive perception of online learning than students. This variation was however not significant. Specifically, lecturers perceived an increased flexibility in online learning, with learners utilizing a wide range of learning sources. Student interest however decreased in terms of the absence of in person meetings, promotion of students learning, ensuring autonomous learning environment, the absentness of cooperative learning strategies and among others. It was recommended that universities who resort to online means of teaching and learning should resource teachers and learners with the necessary accoutrements to help sustain their interest and minimize stress of teaching and learning. Researchers are however encouraged to further investigate into other factors necessary to sustain learners’ and teachers’ interest in coping with online (e-learning) modes.
