A teacher preparing a science course wants to add an exercise that promotes collaboration and problem solving among learners. What kind of group should the teacher form?

Student-centric groups place learners at the centre, promoting collaboration and joint problem solving.

Independent student assignment isolates the learner and removes collaboration.

Teacher-centric groups keep authority with the teacher and limit peer interaction.

Social groups form around friendship, not structured academic tasks.

Cooperative learning of this kind builds interdependence and shared goals.

David and Roger Johnson are associated with the cooperative learning approach.
