“…It is essential for schools not only to instruct students about scientific knowledge, but also to equip students with effective team work skills. That is why cooperative learning is an effective teaching/learning technique for advancing group-work skills to effectively achieve shared goals (Nesbit & Rogers, 1997). Cooperative learning has supported the increased attendance in learning activities and an interactive classroom environment which enhances higher student's motivation, participation, and enjoyment (Treisman, 1983).…”

The present study examines the impacts of cooperative learning on the motivation for 72 second-year Vietnamese higher education students in the Research Methods in Education over the nine-week course. Seventy-two students were allocated into two smaller groups of 36 students. The same lecturer was assigned to teach these two groups of students. Cooperative learning was applied for the experimental group, while lecture-based teaching was utilized in the control group for the whole course. The study outcome demonstrated significant higher learning motivation in the experimental group than that in the control group. Implications for innovation in teaching methods and further research are suggested to popularize more cooperative learning for better learning outcomes.

“…Numerous practitioner studies have examined the impact of cooperative learning on student achievement and social skills development. For example, Nesbit and Rogers (1997) describe the benefits of integrating cooperative learning with science, reading, and writing instruction. Using several of the different cooperative learning models, the authors found that each method was successful in helping students work together in science to solve problems while using the tools of reading and writing.…”
