Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning Technique for the Subject of Science at Elementary Level
Abstract
The study is experimental in nature based on pre-test post-test control group design, with the intent to check the effectiveness of cooperative learning technique for the subject of science at elementary level. Students of grade 8 of Govt. high school Musa Kalan formed the population; out of the lot 35 students were selected on the basis of procuring more than 60% marks in the pre-test which was teachers’ designed. Those who performed the traditional group were the volunteers but with the same marks as that of the experimental group students were selected for exposure to intervention of cooperative learning for a period of one month. On the culmination of a month students were exposed to post-test. The major findings were that those students who were exposed for cooperative learning technique got better results than traditional teaching method. The findings show superiority of cooperative learning technique on traditional teaching method. These tests should be used for exploring the students’ level of achievement though the students are taught by any method
