In this article, we present the four-year actions carried out at a public school in Meco (Madrid, Spain). Through the research contract (LOU, Art. 83) “Cooperative teaching and learning to respond to the diversity of students”, during the years 2014 and 2018, various actions were carried out by the school in its process of methodological and organizational transformation towards a more inclusive model based on the cooperation of teachers and students. A journey was made from the actions aimed at traditional training through courses and seminars to the accompaniment actions in the classroom to implement the cooperative learning methodology. Results of the actions and analysis of the interviews carried out with teachers participating in the process during the four years of work as well as field observation notes are presented. The results show the transformation and improvement of teaching practices based on inclusion and the cooperative learning methodology. Among the central conclusions, there is evidence of internal improvement in organizational management and inclusive teaching practices from the involvement, support, and continuous training of teachers in educational quality towards students.

The aims of this research are: 1) to investigate the effectiveness of cooperative teaching practice using STAD type in the topic of comparison; 2). investigate whether the learning outcome of the students who were involved in cooperative learning process is better than those who were involved in conventional learning process in the topic of comparison. This research was quasi experimental research. The samples of this research were the students of VIIA as the experimental classroom and the students of VIIB as the control classroom. Based on the descriptive analysis, it was concluded that the use of cooperative learning using STAD type in the topic of comparison in SMPN II Megaluh was proven effective with criteria 1) students mastery reach 87.09%, 2) the students active participation is effective, 3) the teachers capability in managing classroom is effective, 4) the students response of the teaching and learning practice are positive. Based on the analysis by using inferential t-test, it was gained ttest= 2.197 and ttest > ttable,. It means the students learning outcome using cooperative teaching and learning process was better than those using conventional teaching and learning process in SMPN II Megaluh Jombang, academic year 2013/2014.

Even after undertaking years of formal education to acquire the language in schools, having a poor command of English remains a problem faced by most Malaysians, especially students in rural schools of Sarawak. Based on the error-analysis carried out by recent research, subject–verb agreement (SVA) is one of the most frequent errors committed by students. To overcome this problem, teachers should significantly improve students’ mastery of SVA in the English language through effective teaching methods. Therefore, this research was conducted to explore the effects of Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures in teaching SVA among rural Sarawak learners. In this study, 35 Form 4 students were selected from a secondary school in the Belaga District, Sarawak as the research participants. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. Overall, findings demonstrated that students showed positive feedback after the intervention was implemented. Results of this research will hopefully provide insights to secondary school students, teachers and the community in the cooperative teaching and learning of grammar.

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una guía para integrar el aprendizaje cooperativo en contextos de educación física. A lo largo de los últimos 20 años se han publicado numerosos artículos describiendo experiencias de aplicación de distintas estructuras cooperativas. No obstante, no existe ningún documento que “lleve de la mano” a un docente cuando quiere implementar el modelo del aprendizaje cooperativo en su aula de educación física. El Ciclo del Aprendizaje Cooperativo representa una estructura que conduce a docente y discente desde los primeros pasos hasta las estructuras más complejas de este modelo pedagógico, proponiendo 3 fases: (1) Creación y cohesión de grupo, (2) El aprendizaje cooperativo como contenido a enseñar y (3) El aprendizaje cooperativo como recurso para enseñar y aprender. En cada una de estas fases se describen sub-fases y/o técnicas específicas que ayudan a comprender todo el proceso a seguir. El Ciclo del Aprendizaje Cooperativo representa un paso adelante, ya que proporciona a los docentes de educación física un marco estable que les permite a ellos y a sus estudiantes comprender, aprender, usar e integrar de una manera progresiva el aprendizaje cooperativo en sus clases. Solo a través de un trabajo pausado y concienzudo se puede lograr su desarrollo satisfactorio en contextos educativos.Abstract. The goal of this article is to present a guide to integrate cooperative learning in physical education contexts. Over the last twenty years, several articles have been published on practical experiences on this topic. However, there is no document that would “lead by the hand” teachers when they want to implement cooperative learning in their physical education classes. The Cooperative Learning Cycle represents a framework that conducts teachers and students from the first steps to the most complex structures of this pedagogical model. It includes 3 phases: (1) Building group cohesion, (2) cooperative learning as a content, and (3) cooperative learning as a means for teaching and learning. Each of these phases is composed by several sub-phases and/or techniques that help understanding the whole process. The Cooperative Learning Cycle represents a step forward, because it provides teachers with a stable framework that allows them and their students to understand, learn, use, and integrate progressively cooperative learning in their classes. It can only be successfully integrated within educational contexts through a patient and thorough process.

The National Curriculum Statement of South Africa envisages qualified and competent teachers to deal with the diversity of learners and their needs in the classroom. One of the needs refers to all learners (Gr R-12) who need to acquire the necessary social skills to enable them to work effectively with others as members of a team, group, organization and community. These skills refer inter alia to: learning to work with others, listening to others, giving attention, asking clarifying questions, learning how to evaluate, and to praise others, handling conflict, reflecting on group work and allowing all group members to participate.The most obvious place to deal purposefully with the development of social skills is the classroom. This implies that alternative ways and methods of teaching must be introduced to develop the necessary social skills. This article reports on the findings obtained from a combined quantitative and qualitative study that set out to determine the levels of social competence achieved by a group of Grade 2 learners, and the possible association of a cooperative teaching and learning intervention programme for enhancing the social skills of these learners. The results revealed the latent potential of cooperative learning to enhance the social skills of Grade 2 learners.The significance of this research lies in the contribution it makes to establish the social competence of a group of Grade 2 learners and to determine the possibilities for enhancing their social skills through cooperative learning.
