Teachers and Directors of all the levels with experience within the framework of Education for the understanding.
The objective of this workshop is to provide teachers with another tool to facilitate teaching and learning in the classroom. The basic principles of Cooperative Learning will be presented and teachers will be exposed to different strategies to be implemented in the classroom right away. These strategies structure student participation and foster interdependence amongst them. The techniques help teachers deal with social problems taking place in the classroom so that students can develop the necessary skills to be able to work in teams. These strategies also foster individual and group responsibility towards common objectives, seeking equal participation of each student.
Cooperative Learning is a teaching method where students work in teams, helping each other, to reach a common objective, improving their own learning as well as the learning of the group. This is attained by teaching and working social skills and structuring tasks in such a way that there is positive interdependence among the members of the team and individual and group responsibility. The main advantages of Cooperative Learning: - Increases self-esteem of students. - Increases active participation. - Enhances academic standards. - Fosters integration. - Improves class atmosphere.
