Engaging Collaborative Learning to Develop Students’ SkiIls of the 21st Century

Abstract

Collaborative approaches to teaching and assessing students have been long practised by educators in a variety

Utilising the Think-Pair-Share Technique in the Learning of Probability

“…From the interview data, two of the students believed that they could learn more materials in a shorter period of time with traditional teaching. This is consistent with the findings of Sulaiman and Shahrill (2015). Partly because students in Brunei are used to traditional teaching, and they tend to believe that they would learn more from direct teacher instruction rather than from the Think-Pair-Share process.…”

Enhancing primary students’ understanding of social studies through the Jigsaw approach

“…Finally, it was found that majority of the students were not fond of their friends whom did not participate in the group work activities. This finding was similar to other findings where 'free riders' were common in students' group work activities [2,4,10,19,20…”

“…The main objectives of social studies are to develop primary students' critical thinking as well as their knowledge and understanding of social and cultural aspects that will help to prepare them to be future active and global citizens [1]. In order to achieve these objectives effectively, teachers are expected to acquire new sets of skills in teaching and learning that emphasise on producing students, instilled with 'MIB' (translated as Malay Islamic Monarchy) values, with the 21st century skills and competencies [2][3][4][5]. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate on the effectiveness of the Jigsaw approach in social studies lesson.…”

Incorporating Jigsaw Strategy to Support Students’ Learning through Action Research

“…The use of cooperative learning strategies could assist students in the development of the 21 st Century skills that comprised of collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and communication skills (Lai & Viering, 2012). There are several cooperative learning strategies available in the literature, such as think-pair-share, thinking-aloud pair problem solving, the three-step interview, STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division), Jigsaw, TGT (Teams Games Tournaments) and GI (Group Investigation) (Astarini et al, 2019;Azmin, 2016;Benek & Bezir Akcay, 2019;Damit et al, 2015;Duraman et al, 2015;Halimah & Sukmayadi, 2019;Kani & Shahrill, 2015;Lee et al, 2018;Lim et al, 2016;Mahari et al, 2019;Morera-Fernandez et al, 2020;Simpol et al, 2018;Sulaiman & Shahrill, 2015;Vijayan et al, 2016). Cooperative in general is defined as providing group work where everyone participates on a collective task to help each other in completing the task provided to them by the teacher (Barron & Hammond, 2008).…”
