Title
A siamese fighting fish learning unit for cooperative learning among primary students
Abstract
The study focused on the effects of the
cooperative learning on students’
achievement.
A learning unit on the fighting fish living
process was used as a case study. The
participants,
30 grade-4 students, were randomly divided
into
five groups of six students each. A learning
center on fighting fish was established
and equipped with learning resources in
the school. Students worked together
in each topic which differed from group
to group. After the activity each
group shared
their
findings
to
the
class.
Following
extensive
discussion
all
students
were expected to gain knowledge from both
in-group activity and activities of other
groups. For the
overall
knowledge
gained,
the
students
were assessed both individually and as
a
group. The
results showed improvement in the level
of
knowledge of the students from the first
week to the third week. Results from
their mind maps
indicated
that
almost
all
students
were able to conceptualize about various
aspects
of
the
life
of
the
fighting
fish.
This
can
be
explained
by
the self-accountability of individual
students as well as their responsibility
for the achievement of their friends.
The students showed positive attitude toward the cooperative learning.
