The final result of the cooperative learning.

In the two last presentations, the groups made a different explanation. Despite the rest of the groups show everything about the cooperative learning guide, in this groups we also learned some things. In the presentation of the “futupasta” team, we realized that the teams-games tournament was really competitive and this is not characteristic of the cooperative learning. This game could be changed to fill in this context if instead of giving points, all the children could be rewarded if they learned. With this practice, all the children have motivation.

We also talked about TAI (team assisted individualization) in this technique of cooperative learning, we mixed the individual work with the help of a group. Each member has their own personalized plan and individual objectives that he or she need to rich. All the team work in the same topic but with different activities and objectives. As the same time that they are doing their work, they also have a team plan and if they get all the objectives they get a reward.

About the investigation groups, we said that they have to choose one topic and develop it for a summarize and a presentation for the rest of the class and it ends with a evaluation among the teacher and the students. This technique is similar to the work with projects.

In this class we saw the multiple intelligences of Gadner. In his theory, all of us has one or more than one intelligence developed, and in the school we have to use this intelligences and develop them and the objectives that they suggest. As Gadner said, if we support this intelligences, our children can become more committed and competent. The intelligences are: linguistic and verbal, mathematic and logical, especial, musical, kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist and spiritual.

We also add in this class that the student need to be able of use different skills in an authentic way, once he or she has went ahead of the step of being fake and behave in a dishonest way. The role of the teacher is to be the scaffolding and the guide, since here, the pupil can receive advices, but the learning is made by his own and not by the teacher.

I didn’t have too many spectates with all presentations about the same topic, but now I know that I have learned with my mate’s works.
