<p>Evidence suggests strong support for innovative teaching approaches in mathematics intervention in universities all over the world and a robust backing has been accorded to co-operative learning pedagogy, which provides strong professional development to teachers on ways of  promoting students’ social skills and aiding them to learn in a constructivist way. There is no doubt that co-operative learning is one of the most extensively documented methods to pedagogy in mathematics but little is known about its efficacy in the Nigerian university education setting. This study investigated the effectiveness of co-operative learning strategy on the achievement in mathematics of 220 university students in Nigeria within the blueprint of quasi-experimental research of Solomon four non-equivalent control group design. It also examined the influence of gender on students’ achievement in mathematics. Achievement in mathematics was measured by the differentiation achievement test with KR-20 of 0.86 and data collected for the study were analysed by adopting the independent samples t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed significant main effect of co-operative learning strategy on students’ achievement in mathematics whereas no significant main influence of gender was found on the dependent measure. Also, there was no significant interaction effect of treatment and gender on students’ achievement in mathematics. Based on the positive effect of cooperative learning strategy on university students’ achievement in mathematics in this study, it is paramount to adjust cooperative learning principles to enhance the needs of universities in Nigeria. Integrating technology to enhance enactment of major pedagogical elements of cooperative learning and to differentiate teaching and learning to improve numerous needs of students may provide a leeway to optimize mathematics results for Nigerian students.</p>

The Impact

Cooperative learning encourages the development of interpersonal skills and motivates students to participate more actively in the teaching and learning process. This study explores the impact of cooperative learning on the academic goals influencing university students’ behavior and leading to the attainment of a series of academic objectives. To this end, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used, with a sample of 509 university students from Preschool, Primary and Social Education undergraduate degree courses. Using the Academic Goals Questionnaire (AGQ), pretest and posttest measures were taken via self-reports to evaluate three types of academic goals: learning goals, social reinforcement goals and achievement goals. The results show that cooperative learning is an effective tool for encouraging university students to develop academic goals that motivate them to fully engage with the tasks they are set in order to acquire knowledge and skills (learning goals). In addition, when students are asked to work as part of a team on an autonomous basis without the structure and supervision necessary to ensure a minimum standard of cooperation, they display a greater tendency toward social reinforcement goals than toward learning and achievement goals. These findings contribute new knowledge to the conceptual framework on cooperative learning. Goals may be considered one of the most important variables influencing students’ learning and the use of cooperative learning techniques in university classrooms creates the necessary conditions for encouraging students to develop goals oriented toward learning.

Cooperative learning is defined as a category of instructional strategies that place students in mixed-ability groups in which students work together to achieve a common academic goal. This type of learning has become more desirable as researchers study individual learning differences and styles as well as multiple intelligences. The theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are number of distinct forms of intelligence that each individual possesses in varying degrees and that the implication of the theory is that learning and teaching should focus on the particular intelligences of each person. This study was conducted to provide empirical facts on the effect of cooperative learning method supported by multiple intelligence theory on students’ achievement in mathematics. This study used the nonequivalent control group design. The instruments used were the 90-item adopted Multiple Intelligence test and the 40-item teacher-made test for the topics Fundamental Operations on Rational Algebraic Expressions, Positive Integral Exponents, and Zero and Negative Exponents. The data gathered were summarized, translated, and analyzed using the mean scores for both pre-test and post-test. The difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental and control group is statistically significant, which means that students’ achievement in mathematics is greatly affected when cooperative learning methods were used as teaching strategies compared to the traditional method. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that cooperative learning method supported with multiple intelligence theory should be used in teaching mathematical concepts and even in other fields of study.Keywords— Mathematics Education, Cooperative learning method, multiple intelligence theories, traditional lecture method, non-equivalent control group design, Philippines, Asia
