Samarbeidslære i matematikkfaget : En kasusstudie av fire elever fra 10. klasse sine meninger om samarbeidslære i matematikkfaget

Abstract

This thesis is about cooperative learning, and more specifically about a structural approach to cooperative learning. The study is described as a case study and is based on observations from three sessions where cooperative learning has been used. Interviews with four students from 10th grade and their math teacher are also part of the data material. The intention was to be able to say something about these students' opinions regarding cooperative learning, and what benefit they seemed to get from this form of learning. The research questions are formulated as follows: 1. What advantages and disadvantages of cooperative learning are expressed during the students' work in the cooperative structures, and what advantages and disadvantages do the informants think are of the greatest importance? 2. What are the informants' opinions about learning outcomes through cooperative learning?
