  Article:   COOPERATIVE LEARNING. THEORETICAL OVERVIEW AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING BIOLOGY CLASS.

Authors:  IRINA POP, ADRIANA BARNA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Informal cooperative learning consists of having students work together to achieve a joint learning goal in temporary, ad-hoc groups that last from a few minutes to one class period. These groups can be used to focus student attention on the material to be learned, set a mood conducive to learning, help organize in advance the material to be covered in class session, ensure that students cognitively process the material being taught, and provide closure to an instructional session. At times, teachers need to lecture, show a movie or a videotape, give a demonstration or have a guest speaker; in such cases, informal cooperative learning can be used to ensure that students are cognitively active. Informal cooperative learning groups also ensure that misconceptions, incorrect understandings, gaps in understanding are identified and corrected, and those learning experiences are personalised.
