9. Cooperative Learning is Teacher-centered 9 Group Activity – Describe the 21 st Century Learners The teacher maintains complete control of the class, even though the students work in groups to accomplish a goal.

10. Is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs." 10 Collaborative Learning

11. Collaborative Learning is Student-centered 11 Group Presentation Activity Strong Leadership: Leaders set the tone for employee behavior, helping to encourage and guide collaboration within and between teams. They also communicate expectations for teamwork and coach individuals to be better at working together Consistent, United, and Enthusiastic Effort: The u nited effort is important because if any person or team loses enthusiasm for the shared goal or begins to give less than their best effort, the whole organization can suffer. Everyone working together as a team from the beginning to the end of each task, project, or quarter ensures a consistent effort Shared Resources: Resources such as time, ideas, and experience are also routinely shared in a truly collaborative work environment. No one ever said it was easy to share resources, especially when you feel time-constrained. However, when resources are shared rather than consistently held close to the vest, the whole team ultimately benefits. Clearly Defined Roles for Subgroups: When each team has clarity about their role in helping the company achieve its goals, collaboration is not only more possible, but is likely to be more rewarding for everyone involved Effective and Frequent Communication: No person or team within the organization can be an island, and frequent communication is what helps people learn, make progress on key projects, and overcome obstacles. When everyone is communicating, each person has the chance to share their ideas and talents.

Commitment Dedication and efforts in the team’s success is contagious; others will follow and may contribute to the success and learning of every member of the group. 22 Give and Take Giving to succeed, students share their knowledge, expertise and support without calculating how it might benefit them to do so. Diversity Every student is a unique learner. Everyone has their own specialty or ability that he/she can contribute to the team’s success, and therefore, every student will benefit by adapting new ideas or concepts. Respect It is respect that opens space for the development of trust and learning. If there is respect among each member of the group, collaboration will be smooth, and learning will take place.
