En för alla och alla för en : En jämförande studie mellan traditionellt grupparbete och kooperativt lärande / One for all and all for one

This is a comparative study between traditional group work and cooperative learning among 9 graders at a Swedish high school. The classes did an assignment that involved translating and then both students and teachers answered a questionnaire. An example of how profitable cooperative learning is is the fact that the speech activity was more equal in the cooperative groups. All the students in the cooperative groups had to contribute to the assignment in order to fulfill the assignment. The reason for higher speech activity is the structure of cooperative learning, which involves roles suited for the assignment. The study contains observations of four classes, student reflections and teacher reflections from a compulsory school in the middle of Sweden. The results of these observations support each other and they point to the same direction, cooperative learning seems to be a successful didactic approach in the socio cultural perspective. Since the students learn important socio cultural rules, which is useful in society. The students working in cooperative learning show that students cooperate more and enjoy their work when they have their defined roles in the group.
