Abstract

Cooperative learning is the learning process in which individuals learn in a small group with the help of one another. Cooperation will build interdependence. The most important part of cooperative learning is communication with others, which refers to our ability to express ourselves, who we are, or what we want to say. This study discussed the concept and salient features of cooperative learning. The researchers conducted this study to assess cooperative learning in Practical Research 2 subject. The researchers used quantitative research to emphasize objective measurement and descriptive research to describe the characteristics of the population or phenomenon that is being studied. We utilized purposive sampling to gather input and feedback from 50 selected Grade 12 General Academic Strand students. Based on the table, male and female respondents had the weighted means of 4.15 and 4.34, respectively, both of which strongly agreed that cooperative learning can be assessed through activities. Male and female respondents had the weighted means of 4.37 and 4.33, respectively, both of which strongly agreed that research output can be assessed for cooperative learning. Male and female respondents had the overall weighted means of 4.26 and 4.33, respectively, both of which strongly agreed that activities and research output are ways to assess cooperative learning. Based on the findings of the study and conclusion drown, the following guidelines were forwarded. To choose your member wisely, you must provide materials such as bond paper, printer, financial support; teach the process skills that you want to perform; design your member; give your member their roles; define the learning objectives for the activity; make sure that everyone in your group understands your topic; use different styles to learn how to use video, audio, and picture that help students learn more knowledge. Make sure that each member is willing to learn. Lastly, make your lesson quick but efficient.
