【特色教学】Why Cooperative Learning为什么要合作学习?



Teacher should not come to classroom the same lesson plans each and every day. Let’s “Shake things up” ,allows students to hear a voice something different; allow them to hear the voice of their peers, this way student will get a break from boring teachers lectures.
每天老师不应该在教室里上相同的课程计划。让我们”把事情变一变”,让学生听到不同的声音;让他们听到同伴的声音,这样学生就能从无聊的演讲式的课程中解脱出来。

Cooperative learning is a great strategy because, it is all about the students and their own thoughts and ideas. The students are actually the “Center of Learning”, not the teacher. As teachers, we have a responsibility to refer students most careers which require people to work with others in groups. Cooperative learning is a key component of 21st century life skills. Ultimately, “We are smarter together as a group than we are apart as individuals”.
合作学习就是一个很不错的策略,因为它以学生为中心并提倡学生们有自己思想和想法。实际上学生才是”学习的中心”,而不是以老师为中心。作为老师,我们有责任引导学生如何在小组中与其他同学合作。合作学习是21世纪生活技能的重要组成部分。归根结底,”我们作为一个群体比作为独立个人更优秀”。

How do we group students for cooperative learning? It is best to group students deliberately and the first things you can consider in grouping students are their academic abilities and their test scores. So consider grouping students by performance level, homogenous grouping performance (similar) and heterogenous grouping for (different) performance levels.
我们如何组织学生进行合作学习?要先仔细考虑如何进行分组,在分组学生时,首先可以考虑的是他们的学习能力和考试成绩。因此,需要根据成绩水平、小组相同工作能力(相似)和小组异质工作能力(不同)水平对学生进行分组 。学生间的和谐是第一要务。因此,学生分组时,也要考虑和谐平安的环境。

Students’ safety is the number one priority. Therefore, consider grouping students for harmonious and safe environment. Another possibility regrouping is a random approach it is usually use to shake things up. When students are group together, things can get out of control pretty quickly. To keep orders assign students a group role.
随机分组的方法有时会没有秩序。当学生们聚在一起时,会失控。所以为了维持秩序,可以给学生分配一个小组角色。

The best grouping scenario is one where students are safe and learning. Plan which groups you will work with during the activity. Some will need support to get started. Listening in to their conversation is a great way to assess understanding.
最好的分组方案是学生在一起可以愉快地学习。想一下在活动期间你要与哪组合作。有些孩子需要支持才能开始。倾听他们的谈话是评估理解力的好方法。

Here are some essential classroom activities of my second grade students that we would like to share
以下分享的是我们在二年级学生的一些基本课堂活动:

Students work together to solve a problem and answer a question about an assigned reading. They require to :
(1) think individually about a topic or answer to a question;
(2) share ideas with classmates. Discussing with a partner maximizes participation, focuses attention and engages students in comprehending the reading material.
孩子们在一起解决问题,并回答指定的阅读内容。他们需要:
(1)单独思考一个主题或回答一个问题;
(2)与同学分享想法。与合作伙伴讨论最大限度地提高参与度,集中注意力,了解阅读材料。
Students think individually to answer some questions:What room are you writing about? Describe the room and furniture? What do you like to do in the room?
学生们单独思考回答一些问题:你在描写什么房间?描述一下房间和家具?你喜欢在房间里做什么?


The knowledge and concepts the students learnt are now also made manifest in the materials. Students are able to independently interact with materials (after a presentation) and learn without the direct involvement of the teacher. Students can follow their interests through a Project-based activity and the teacher is free to guide individual student as needed.
学生所学的知识和概念也在手工材料中体现出来。学生能够在没有老师直接参与的情况下,独立地使用手工材料(展示后)并学习。教师可以根据需要自由指导学生根据自己的兴趣点进行某个主题活动。
