1. Showdown Strategy
a. Definition of Cooperative Learning
According to Patricia (2005: 180) cooperative learning is a broad range of instructional methods in which students woth together to learn academic content.
Slavin (2009) provides a comprehensive presentation of several of the most widely used cooperative learning methods.
Fatman on Patricia (2005: 180) said that cooperative learning is some of the most typical applications used with second language learners in school settings.
Another definition from Gilles and Ashman (2005: 13) well recognized as a pedagogical practice that promotes learning, higher level thinking, prosocial

Because the student feel excited when they are taugh by using new strategy. The students are bored with the conventional strategy and they need new way in learning at school. Jigsaw, Think-Pair-Share, or NHT are some well known strategies from Spencer Kagan. Those strategies are applied by the teacher. But not all strategy appropriate with the material. So the teacher should consider the characteristic of the strategy. According to Spencer Kagan (2009: 5.3), Showdown is strategy that describe the relationship of the teacher, the students, and the content. What makes them cooperative learning structures is they all have student to-student interaction as an integral part of the learning process and implement the basic principles of cooperative …show more content…
Every group content of 3-5 studetns. In their group will get number 1 – 5.
2) Step 2 : Giving question
Teacher will give a question for studetns. The question can variation and specific in the questions’ sentence.
3) Step 3 : Thingking together
Students combine their opinion and every group can answer that questions certainly.
4) Step 4 : Answer
Teacher will call a certain number, after that students who get that number must raise their hand and answer the questions.
c. The Advantages
According to Hamdani (2011: 90) the advantages of Numbered Head Together are :
1) Every students can be ready to answer the questions
2) Students can be discuss seriously
3) The Students‘ cleverer can give explain with the students’ stupid.
Another definition with Isjoni (2011: 113) the advatages of numbered head together are :
a. Students can divide their idea and to know the true answer
b. Studetns can work together with their group
d. The Disadvantages of Numbered Head Together are :
1) The probably, the number who call by the teacher, will be call again by teacher
2) Not all studetns will be not call by
Response Essay W5 In “Battle Royale”, the first chapter of Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, the chapter uses a variation of dialect in the narrator’s tone of voice throughout the reading to carry out his position of a past he was naive of. The narrator takes his reader on a flashback of a time he was invited to give his high school graduation speech at a gathering where he unknowingly would be a part of a circus act in a room full of white citizens before he may present his speech. “I wanted to deliver my speech and he came at me as though he meant to beat it out of me.” (1216)
Big Idea Comprehension is key when learning what one is reading. Reference to PA and Common Core Standard(s) CC.1.2.3.B:Ask and answer questions about the text and make inferences from text; refer to text to support responses. CC.1.2.3.C: Explain how a series of events, concepts, or steps in a procedure is connected within a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
One strategy that reinforces learning through collaboration is team teaching. In the classroom both teachers are positioned at the front of the classroom with different responsibilities. For example, one teacher may write notes, while the other delivers large group instruction. Through team teaching, both educators can bounce ideas off one another or show students two different methods of solving a problem. This strategy is most effective in a coteaching partnership emphasizing give and take.
The first reason is can stress the student. Extra assignments given to students, can lead to unhealthy levels of stress. If bombarded with countless lessons at school and at home, students may feel stress and anxiety should they fail to complete the assignment on time. Students need to learn in a classroom setting, but they should also be able to spend some time exploring
My experience with co-teaching has been beneficial for my class especially for the ELLs and the monolingual students. When my mentor is teaching, my lowest students sit in a different table with me. Differentiation has helped them because they get additional help, clarification of any misconceptions, restating of key vocabulary or key points and also they get to use manipulatives that might help them understand a concept better. This differentiation has helped as they are testing higher in math and two ELL students are now reading at grade level. Co-teaching allows both teachers to work together and it allows for many instructional strategies.
The purpose of group learning and development is to ensure that all learning styles are catered for and the ultimate goal of sharing knowledge is achieved. When using a group to deliver something new each individual can call on a fellow participant to confirm understanding. 1.2 Explain why delivery of learning and development must reflect group dynamics When delivering to a group it is important to consider, what is the normal behaviour within the group? Who plays what role?
1.5 Kohn’s Student Directed Learning Theory Kohn’s student-directed learning theory is an approach to the classroom management which may be particularly effective in the modern classroom environment. Student-directed learning will keep students motivated and teaches them to cooperate with each other sharing responsibilities and functions within their community. Kohn believes that the ideal classroom emphasizes on curiosity and cooperation above all, and that the student’s curiosity should determine what is taught. "Skillful educators tap students ' natural curiosity and desire to become competent.
It is a viable tool for addressing the maximum participation of the child and can be a catalyst to ensure effective learning. Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. Some strategies are better suited to teaching skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and
My Classroom Environment Ideally, my classroom would be a strong community of interactive learners. I would like to use cooperative learning to engage students at various academic levels. This would also give me the opportunity to employ direct teaching for those students that need it while others work in groups. Groups also allows me to use peer tutoring and help build an inclusive classroom by integrating groups (Hallahan et al., 2012).
Introduction It is very important to study about the development of the human. Because it provides framework to think about human growth, their mental development, and the most important one, ‘their learning’. As a teacher it is very important to study about these theories. Because it have a close relationship with the development of the students and their learning behavior (Michael, 2012) .
This interaction encourages students to think. It is very beneficial if the students interact between them in a large number since everyone has their own experienced, opinion, ways of thinking and so forth. In computing,
(1995) conducted a study about Collaborative Learning Enhances Critical Thinking, The idea of Collaborative learning in, the gathering and blending of Students with the end goal of accomplishing a scholastic objective, has been generally inquired about and pushed all through the expert writing. The expression "Collaborative learning" refers to a guideline technique in which Students at different execution levels cooperate in little groupings toward a shared objective. The students are in charge of each other 's learning and also on their own. Along these lines, the achievement of one Student causes different Students to be
5. Students are taught to apply logical consequences. 6. Group discussions regarding class rules and problems are
[47] argue that students report increased team skills as a result of cooperative learning. This is as Panitz [48] cites a number of benefits of cooperative learning for developing the interpersonal skills required for effective teamwork. As observed, there is broad empirical support for the central premise of cooperative learning, that cooperation is more effective than competition for promoting a range of positive learning outcomes. These results include enhanced academic achievement and a number of attitudinal outcomes. In addition, cooperative learning provides a natural environment in which to enhance interpersonal skills and there are rational arguments and evidence to show the effectiveness of cooperation in this
It is one of the most effective forms of learning. Working in isolation is very restrictive and gives a slow progress. Critical thinking is also encouraged when learners work in groups. Through collaborative activities such as writing, debates, group projects and more they learn to work together and to respect each other contribution. The traditional relationship between student and teacher is changed with collaborative learning.
