Cooperative Learning

Cooperative Learning is one type of Student-Centered Learning which is based on Lev Vygotsky's Social Cognition theory. Students work in small groups to discover and learn together while at the same time, improving on communication and learning ability. The video below is self-explanatory. View it and think about it. Next, as educators and teachers, ask yourself this question, "Have I educated my students or have I just merely impart knowledge with little regards to whether they understand or they don't". Cooperative Learning is one proven way to get better results. Happy viewing!
