Cooperative Learning in Mathematics Education

Abstract

Cooperative learning is a teaching strategy that encourages students to assist each other in a small group to achieve a common goal. Through cooperative learning methods, each student in the group responsible to share opinion and work together to solve the mathematical problem. The aim of this study is to examine cooperative learning method in Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) model to assist students to excel in Mathematics. The research methodology used for this study is systematic review on current cooperative learning (CL) in teaching of Mathematics. First, this paper starts with concept of cooperative learning. Next, the STAD model and cooperative learning in Mathematics are also highlighted in the paper. Finally, the findings of 12 studies of cooperative learning methods in the classroom were discussed in this study. It is hoped that this study will be able to shade some light on the implementation of cooperative learning in Mathematics education.
