I love the jigsaw method! I think it can be extremely beneficial for students. It allows them to work together, combining their ideas with each other and building off of their peers information/knowledge. I love that the teacher is not giving direct instruction neccissaily ; instead they are just monitoring the students, asking questions, and making sure they stay on task. Sometimes I feel like teachers can pressure students without realizing and this method allows the students to share their knowledge without the fear of being judged by an adult.

Group processing involves members reflecting on the group's work and their interactions with each other to clarify and improve efforts to achieve group goals and maintain effective working relationships. Students will learn more effectively if they are actively engaged in a situation and group work is one of the best ways to do that! I love the idea of the Jigsaw project we are currently working on! I think it is creative and different. It allows everyone to research and become knowledgable on the subject.

This video is great because it touches on Blooms Taxonomy, and also demonstrated a "game" that can be used for cooperative learning.

Cooperative learning is a way for teachers to involve students in the learning process, while giving themselves more of a "back seat" to what is going on. In cooperative learning students work in small groups completing individual and group tasks. Each student is responsible for their own learning, and also are responsible for providing input to their group as well. I really like the cooperative learning model because it gives students experience in problem solving by using resources other than themselves, or the teacher. This is a very authentic type of learning and allows students to develop interpersonal and social skills as well.

Here is a pictorial example of a group of students engaging in cooperative learning. Here they are working together as a group.

In the jigsaw method, teachers are

responsible for creating diverse groups and

making sure the students understand their task.  While

they should float around the room and intervene when necessary, group leaders and their fellow members should be carrying most of the responsibility.  Groups are working independently from the teacher.  She/he is there simply to monitor and guide when necessary.

Cooperative learning is a critical method for truly helping students develop.  By working in groups to achieve a common goal, students learn how to work with others, respect people's opinions and ideas, and contribute to a group effort.  They also learn valuable interpersonal skills.  This method provides meaning for students.  Instead of listening to a teacher talk at them, they get to dive into a topic and experience the topic.

Students are better able to learn when we involve them in the process.

I like the idea of jigsaw because students can become "experts" on their topics and draw on ideas from students outside of their group with the same topic. I do wonder however if it is fair for the entire group's success to depend on, for example, a student that is unwilling to cooperate with his or her group.

Students become responsible for their group members' learning. Research indicates that cooperative learning should be the most prevalent of the learning structures.

This is a short video that provides tips for the teacher regarding the implementation of cooperative learning. For example, the teacher needs to realize some students have had bad experiences with group work and/or prefer to work alone. Groups should be heterogeneous and steps need to be taken to ensure groups become cohesive.

I learned that unlike traditional group learning, social interactive learning helps identify group goals and works hard to meet them, actively prompts effective group interaction, and expresses ideas and opinions in a way that is sensitive to the feelings of others. This attached YouTube video explains some strategies teachers can use while using coopertive learning.

I love the different ways that cooperative learning really promotes and encourages student learning. I like the social interaction between the students like how they can be put into small groups. Also, it encourages independent learning which is important as all. Personally, I learn better when put into small groups and get to talk about a lesson or task with a few students rather than the teacher trying to teach to the whole class at once. It's a stress free way for students to learn and I would definitely use this method as a teacher.

Cooperative learning is when the teacher gives the students the opportunity to work as a group to achieve a common goal. This strategy helps students learn responsibility and improve their social skills. The strategy is a great idea because it helps students improve both academically and socially. In a video I found the students give their opinion on cooperative learning groups. A student said they really enjoyed working in groups because they had the opportunity to compare results with their classmates and see where they went wrong. Another student said they really enjoyed the fact that they could debate a topic with other students in their group and classroom. This strategy should be implemented in many classrooms because it is definitely a great way to motivate students to strive to do their best.

Cooperative learning is implemented by the teacher and is an opportunity for students to work with one another. There are five elements of cooperative learning which makes it effective, and one of them is interpersonal and small group social skills. This element is important because it emphasizes that students who work with one another develop leadership skills, can communicate, and build trust. With Cooperative learning, it is not all about understanding the subject matter. It is also about teamwork and being able to work with others.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is very important for teachers to use the social interactive model as much as possible.

Dividing students up into small groups and having them complete assignments not only teaches them academics, it teaches them cooperation, teamwork, and social skills. It teaches them how to solve problems as a group. Having students participate in group activities is more relatable to real world situations because in jobs people often have to work with co- workers. It teaches them to solve personal problems with their peers in order to get work done. It is important for teachers to monitor carefully in order to make sure one person is not doing all work. Everyone must participate and it is easy to get side tracked during group work.
