SOME COOPERATIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES

Cooperative learning is more elaborate than group work activity. Cooperative learning can be incorporated into your classroom management system. If you train your students to work effectively in groups, the results can be a very productive and fun learning environment.

Inside-Outside Circle

Inside-Outside Circle that allows movement and is an excellent way to have the students summarizes and review information or extends thinking.  Students form two circles, one within the other. Each circle will have the same number of students. The students in the inner circle turn outward and the outside circle turns inward so the students are facing each other. The teacher poses a question or presents a problem and the students discuss their thoughts, solutions and ideas with the person they are facing. When the discussion time is up, the teacher has one of the circles move to the left to face a new partner. These new partners share and compare their answers or solutions with each other and then the teacher asks the students to share with the whole group. The teacher might ask how the partner discussions changed (or didn’t change) their thinking. These steps can be repeated until all of the questions have been addressed or until times runs out.
