Cooperative Learning

1.      Jigsaw

What is jigsaw?

The Jigsaw Classroom is a cooperative learning technique that reduces racial conflict among school children, promotes better learning, improves student motivation, and increases enjoyment of the learning experience.

How it works?

The students in a history class, for example, are divided into small groups of five or six students each. Suppose their task is to learn about World War II. In one jigsaw group, Sarah is responsible for researching Hitler's rise to power in pre-war Germany. Another member of the group, Lisa, is assigned to cover concentration camps; Michael is assigned Britain's role in the war; Melody is to research the contribution of the Soviet Union; Pedro will handle Japan's entry into the war; Clara will read about the development of the atom bomb.

Eventually each student will come back to her or his jigsaw group and will try to present a well-organized report to the group. The situation is specifically structured so that the only access any member has to the other five assignments is by listening closely to the report of the person reciting. Thus, if Pedro doesn't like Michael, or if he thinks Sarah is a nerd and tunes her out or makes fun of her, he cannot possibly do well on the test that follows.

To increase the chances that each report will be accurate, the students doing the research do not immediately take it back to their jigsaw group. Instead, they meet first with students who have the identical assignment (one from each jigsaw group).

Each student in each group educates the whole group about her or his specialty. Students are then tested on what they have learned about World War II from their fellow group member.

The Benefits

It is a remarkably efficient way to learn the material. But even more important, the jigsaw process encourages listening, engagement, and empathy by giving each member of the group an essential part to play in the academic activity. Group members must work together as a team to accomplish a common goal; each person depends on all the others. No student can succeed completely unless everyone works well together as a team. This “cooperation by design” facilitates interaction among all students in the class, leading them to value each other as contributors to their common task.

2.       Two stay two stray

Two Stay Stray developed by Spencer Kagan (1992) . Structure TSTS is one type of cooperative learning. In this technique students will learn in group and it give opportunity the group to share result and information to the others group. Based on individual activity in teaching and learning the students do their task by themself and not allowed to cheat to the other students.

Characteristics of TSTS

The students work the task in the group and consist four students.The group consist of students that have high, middle, and low ability. If possible in the group is consist of different ras, gender, and culture. The reward is more dedication for the group than individual.

The Purposes of TSTS

In this learning the students’ activity listen to their friends said when they visit the others group. The students must listen carefully what the host explain about the material. So, in this learning the students must visit dan listen carefully each other to do their task.

Procedures of TSTS

There are some step in TSTS learning (Lie, 2002:60-61). The student must coorporation to do their task. After finish understand the material two students will leave their group to visit the group each other. Then two students stay in the group to share result and information from their material to the guests. The guests comeback to their group each other to report what they get from the other group. The group will match and discussion result of their task.

3.      Team Games Tournament

the most favorite way in learning english for students is team games tournament methods (TGT). It is the type of cooperative learning which is easy to implement. It is involving the activities of all students without any distinction of status, involving the role of students as peer tutors and contain elements of the games and reinforcement. Learning English with games that are designed in a cooperative learning model allows students to learn TGT is more relax in addition to foster responsibility, cooperation, good competition, and the involvement of learning.

There are 5 main components of TGT, they are :
1. Presentation class
2. Group (team)
3. Game
4. Tournament
5. Team Recognize
