There is still a great deal of confusion and disagreement about why cooperative learning methods affect achievement and even more important, under what conditions cooperative learning has these affects.
Negative effect of cooperation learning are rich-get richer effect, free-ricer effect and sucker effect. To minimize those effect, motivational perspectives on cooperative learning focuse primarily on die group reward and social cohesion According to socal identity theory, intergroup bias on cooperative learning is minimized by regroupings. Therefore four conditions are essential if the achievement effect of cooperative learning are to be realize. First, the cooperating groups must have a group reward. Second, the members of cooperative group must acquire cooperative skill. Thud, cooperative groups have cooperative task. fourth, cooperative groups ate periodically regrouped.
Each of the perspectives on cooperative learning contributes to more complex understanding of how cooperative learning affects student achievement. Until recently, researchers have tended to wok on paralled track. It is now time to look beyond usual disciplinary boundaries to consider more broadly how cooperation among students can enhance their learning.
