The Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning in Developing Grammar Skills

Abstract

The article presents the results of the experimental enquiry aimed at studying the impact of cooperative learning on improving grammar skills. The research focused on two interaction modes – pair work and group work, which were compared in terms of their potential to address accuracy. The experiment was carried out in the first term of the 2020-2021 academic year (September-October). The participants included 23 third-year students of the Foreign Philology Faculty of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University and constituted two academic groups, with one being offered pair-work activities and the other working in small groups. The experimental study comprised three phases: pre-experiment testing, teaching, post-experiment testing. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The results demonstrate the validity of the assumption about the efficacy of pair work and group work in promoting accuracy, at the same time indicating no statistically significant difference between the two modes. The presented evidence suggests that grammar instruction can clearly benefit from incorporating both pair work and group work into classroom practices, however further research might be advisable to maximize the effectiveness of these interaction patterns by refining the procedure involved and improving students’ cooperative learning skills.

Use of Group Work Activities in the English Language Performance of Junior High School Students

“…Group work activities are effective in reinforcing the acquisition of the competencies taught in the class. The results demonstrate agreement with the findings of Odehova et al (2022) and Keskin (2011) whose research confirms the positive effects of cooperative learning on students' grammar and reading comprehension abilities.…”

“…The findings imply that utilizing group work activities as reinforcement or evaluation of the lesson is effective and it enables the students to perform better and thus learn and acquire the competencies taught. This coincides with the studies of Odehova et al (2022) and Keskin, (2011) whose findings yielded favorable results on the use of group work activities or cooperative learning in the classroom. The one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was done to see if there was any statistically significant difference between the students who were taught using traditional teaching or Direct Instruction and those who had participated in group work activities.…”

Implementation of The Project For Strengthening The Profile of Pancasila Students (P5) in Schools

“…The internal advantage is that students are more accomplished and more understanding of each other, making learning more enjoyable (Kuwabara et al, 2020), honing leadership in the groups, developing positive attitudes (Kuuk et al, 2020), improving self-esteem, learning to be more inclusive, feeling a sense of belonging and being valued, as well as improving self-skills for the future. While externally in the form of getting the experience of working with friends who are not yet known in depth, improving interaction patterns between students through language acquisition (Ghavifekr, 2020), encouraging motivation and competitive spirit for their group mates (Odehova et al, 2022), and get many learning resources from the experiences of various individuals.…”

“…Pembelajaran ini merupakan salah satu strategi yang dikembangkan di banyak negara, sebagai salah satu pendekatan pendidikan paling inovatif saat ini (Rattanatumma & Puncreobutr, 2016). Konsep utama pembelajaran kooperatif adalah kerjasama yang ketika individu bekerja sama dalam kelompok untuk mempromosikan baik hasil belajar individu maupun kelompok (Odehova et al, 2022). Siswa memiliki kemampuan untuk berinteraksi dengan teman sekelas, menyampaikan dan mempertahankan gagasan, berbagi perspektif yang berbeda, dan mempertanyakan kerangka kerja konseptual di kelas (Sukontawaree et al, 2022).…”
