Hey There! Do you know what this website is?

This webpage provides the alternative to the report of the lesson 11 of the Educational Technology 2 book. The title of the topic is "Cooperative Learning with Computer". Let's start then!

Singapore has set the global pace for student-centered learning with a 2:1 (2 pupils per computer) ratio in its masterplan for IT Education.

This shows that even in progressive countries, the 1:1 pupil-computer ratio is still an ideal to achieve.

This calls for the fact that all classrooms (much more in public schools) may not be equipped with the appropriate number of computer.

 - Cooperative or Collaborative Learning - 

: Learning by small groups of students who work together in a common learning task

                     Improves teacher effectiveness

                                              Increases academic performance

                                                                          Promotes literacy and language skills

                                                                                                      Encourages active learning while motivating the students

It is said that computer may foster student learning in isolation that hinders student’s social skills.

Using of computer do not automatically result in cooperative learning. Therefore teacher assign several task to ensure collaborative learning.

The task are:

 Assigning students to mixed-ability teams

Establishing positive interdependence

Teaching cooperative social skills

Insuring individual accountability, and

 Helping groups process information
