 In cooperative learning the teacher puts students in small groups to do an activity together. The students take lead in doing the activity. The teacher only provides guidance as needed. The teacher does not put the same students together for each activity but changes the groupings. That way students can learn from a variety of partners. So in cooperative learning the teacher puts students in groups, lets them take the lead in doing the activities and changes the groupings for different activities. This method helps students learn about sharing, getting along with others and working together.
