Kagan Cooperative learning is an extremely successful teaching strategy
in which small teams of students work together towards a learning goal. Each
member of the group is responsible not only for learning what is taught but
also for helping teammates learn. Kagan cooperative learning structures teach
pupils social skills, interaction with other pupil, turn talking, listening to
the views of others and sharing information.
I used following kagan cooperative strategies in my internship school.
1.
Talking chits
This strategy was conducted in following steps:
1. Divide students into two
groups.
2. Give equal number of chits
to each group.
3. Teacher asks a question.
4. Any member who keeps the
chit first on the table will get the chance to answer.
5. The team which finishes
maximum number of chits in that particular time is the winner.
The above strategy was used as evaluation for lesson
transportation in plants for 8th standard.
2) Inside
outside circle
1. Put two groups together (inside and outside circles)
2. Questions or problems on flash cards and give to inside circle
students.
3. Inside asks while outside responds , inside listens, praises, or
coaches.
4. Switch roles-outside asks while inside responds, outside listens,
praises or coaches
5. Switch cards and inside or outside rotates.
The above strategy was used to revise the topic ‘Physical and Chemical
changes’ for class 7.
3) Finding the fiction
This strategy was done in class 8th in following steps:
1. Teammates write three statements two true and one false.
2. One student from each team
stands and reads his/her statements to teammates.
3. Without consulting
teammates, each student writes down his/her own best guess which statement is
false.
4. Teammates round robin
(show guesses) and defend their ‘best guess’.
5. Teammates announce their
best guess, or write them down.
6. Standing student announces
the false statement.
7. Students celebrate.
8. Repeat process with
another teammate.
