The use of jigsaw classroom has been used by Aronson (2015) since the 1970�s. It is a research based cooperative learning technique and has been successfully used in classrooms all over the world. Out of the jigsaw classroom, comes jigsaw writing and its serves the same function as cooperative learning in the classroom. The benefits of cooperative learning goes beyond learning the contents of the lessons, students gain a new way of learning in groups. Teachers teaching writing in the ESL classrooms will agree that teaching the writing process is not an easy task. ESL learners struggling with the learning of the language are faced with added difficulty of having to write essays in the ESL classroom. According to Elola (2010), collaborative writing can bring many benefits to learners in the ESL classroom. This study is based on the theories of Scaffolding and Cooperative learning. It introduces yet another interesting teaching method to make ESL writing a fun and interactive classroom activity. Qualitative and quantitative data analyzed revealed interesting implications for future teaching ESL writing.

<p class="apa">The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Student Teams-Achievement Divisions cooperative learning with models on academic achievements of undergraduate university students attending classes in which the electrochemical cells. The sample of research was comprised of 70 students from first class of science teacher education program during the academic year 2014-2015. The data obtained by the Electrochemistry Achievement Test (EcAT). The study was carried out in three different groups. The research groups were randomly assigned as the cooperative learning with models group (CLMG), the cooperative learning group (CLG), and the control group (CG). The data obtained by the instrument was evaluated through descriptive statistics, one–way ANOVA, and ANCOVA. The results indicated that teaching electrochemical cells via STAD with Model method was more effective than the traditional teaching method and only STAD in increasing academic achievement. In addition, according to the EcAT results, students’ high levels of misunderstanding show that there are indicative of some deficiencies in teaching of the electrochemical cells in the molecular level.</p>

ABSTRACT The process of learning chemistry which only focused on teacher as informant caused the students’ memory lower. This could make the students’ learning outcomes lower, thus, it was needed STAD type of Cooperative Learning Method which had the process of interaction between student and teacher, and could help the students comprehend the material. Therefore, it was necessary to make a research which had the purpose to know the difference between students’ learning outcomes and memory which used STAD type ofCooperative Learning Method and lectures teaching method as well as how large the effect of STAD type of Cooperative Learning Method on salt hydrolysis material was. This research was Quasi Experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample of the research was choosen by using saturated sampling which XI IPA 1 as experimental class and XI IPA 2 as control class. The techniques of data collection used measurement technique, observation, and interview while the tools of data collection used tests such as essayquestion, observation sheet, and interview guide. The statistical analysis of posttest result using U-man whitney test obtained significant value 0.000. This value was smaller than α (0.005) which meant that there was difference in learning outcome between experimental and control class. The statistical analysis result of U-man whitney delayed test obtained significant value 0.006, this value was smaller than α (0.005) which meant that there was difference between students’ memory in experimental and control class. The calculation of effect size showed value 1.64 with high criteria which gave high effect on students’ learning outcomes which was 44.95%, while the calculation of students’ memory effect size showed value 0.69 with moderate criteria which gave effect on students’ memory which was 26,42%. Keywords : Memory, Learning Outcomes, Salt Hydrolysis, STAD type of Cooperative Learning Method

Combined awareness about the power and limitations of bioinformatics and molecular biology enables advanced research based on high-throughput data. Despite an increasing demand for scientists with a combined background in both fields, the education in dry lab and wet lab is often separated. This work describes an example of integrated education with focus on genomics and transcriptomics. Participants learn computational and molecular biology methods in the same practical course. Peer-review is applied as a teaching method to foster cooperative learning of students with heterogeneous backgrounds. Evaluation results indicate acceptance and appreciation of this approach.

In this paper, I focus on the affective atmosphere of the Adult English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. I argue that a humanistic learning approach can be a form of strategic resistance against the bureaucratization and standardization of publicly funded ESL programs for adult newcomers in Canada. Given the growing, top-down trend in our economically driven and technologically dependent society, there is a need to humanize the Canadian ESL classroom as a space for empathy and critical thinking. Through a literature review and semi-structured, in-depth interviews with former ESL learners and former ESL teachers, this paper reveals the psychological and political complexities of second language learning and cultural identity, as well as the pivotal role that an ESL teacher can play during the first few years of settlement. In this context, I also critique the racialized linguistic hierarchy embedded in Canada’s multiculturalism policy and exclusionary immigration and language policies.
