This group begins by explaining that cooperative learning is not only a method, but it is something that students should learn as a subject, with this, teacher training children in this new learning method.
Other thing that I want to highlight is the way that teacher can make the different base group, members of group are chosen by teacher through:
- Sociometric test, I search information about this way because I have some doubts, and I find the next information. The teacher can have knowledge of how the group is socially related to each other as well as the benefits and implications of this interaction has on each child individually. This is very useful in the work inside of the group, because many times the degree of integration of a child directly influences performance.
- Let them choose. In this type of choice the groups can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, because who choose are students.
- Form three columns, is the way that use our teacher the first day of the class. In this type we can folow the next steps, such as:
- where students live.
- month that they are born.
- what is their favorite color.
Other matter that I want to talk about is the distribution of the classroom, concretely "spike", like we are in the classroom.
Then they talked about "Philosophy of the class", for that two reasons:
- Teachers have to make that children learn why is important work with the method of Cooperative Learning.
- Motive students with slogans such as: "be yourself", "respect opinion", to promote equality and reduce competitive situations in the classroom.
Other thing that I want to write is about the different rules for working in groups. To make this rules, It is important do it between teacher and students, because of this way, pupils are going to feel part important of this project. Some rules can be help other classmates, respect other opinions, raise your hand when you have to speak in class. This rules have to be put on a mural hanging on the wall in a visible place, with images or pictures easy to understand by students.
