Cooperative learning In Teaching Mathematics.

      Аннотация: Cooperative learning is the instructional strategy in which pairs or small groups of students with different levels of ability work together to accomplish a shared goal. The teachers’ role changes from wise on the wise to guide on the side. Cooperative learning due to its influential aspects is the most prevalent teaching-learning technique in the modern world. Different experiments have done for this study by selecting grade nine students from one of the secondary schools in Mettu, Ethiopia. Selected students for this study grouped in to experimental and comparable groups and different treatments were applied for these two groups. For experimental group, Cooperative learning and for comparable group the usual method of teaching was applied. Comparison was done and we found that Cooperative learning is more effective than the usual method of teaching. The more the learners help each other is the more likely they are to be successful in their academic performance. Two are better than one. If one fall, one will lift him up. But who to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up. Being alone is not recommended in the academic world.
