Description¶

Based on the finding that cooperative learning effects are high in domains requiring social skills and at the higher education level, the author recommends that "teachers should make arrangements based on the cooperative learning model in their classroom practices" and that "group work should be included to ensure cooperation in areas where mutual trust, communication, and practice are necessary". At higher education levels, where collaboration showed a higher impact, students should be directed to cooperation and group work often.
