Since it is the responsibility of the teacher to notice with the intention that no child is left behind or ignored during the learning as well as teaching process .Major assessment programs are established to design group assessment tasks within which smaller groups of student work together towards solving problems or completing projects .at the same time as teachers it is complicated to assess students individually or in groups. Students’ measure their own role as well as their peers by establishing set of criteria. Individual student assess others input by using a programmed list of criteria. Grades are based on a predetermined process, but mostly it is an average of the marks awarded to the group members. Consequently this essay will emphasize on the …show more content…

Through this they are able to learn the importance of group work and also at the same time come up with different ideas in solving the problem.” While individual competence can be measured by individuals working alone, it can also be demonstrated when individuals collaborate with others to learn how to solve problems that they could not previously solve by themselves”, said Vygotsky,

On September 17, 1787 The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia came to an end. During the convention there was a debate over whether or not there should be a list of things the government couldn’t do to the states or individuals. The delegates thought back to the declaration of independence and the concept of inalienable rights. George Mason, the author of the Virginia declaration of rights, provided the delegates with two reasons to question the concept of having this list of rights. His first argument was that these rights didn’t come from the governments and he warned that if the delegates listed these inalienable rights, it would suggest that these rights came from the government and thus they could take them away.

Cooperative learning model is an active process where students work in small teams/groups, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Students have opportunities to actively participate in their learning, question and challenge each other, share and discuss their ideas, and adopt their learning. Ross and Smyth (1995) describe successful cooperative learning tasks as intellectually demanding, creative, open-ended, and involve higher order thinking tasks. In this model, it is essential to create a positive climate where interpersonal skills can be promoted so that positive emotions will be fostered among learners.

This is as Panitz [48] cites a number of benefits of cooperative learning for developing the interpersonal skills required for effective teamwork. As observed, there is broad empirical support for the central premise of cooperative learning, that cooperation is more effective than competition for promoting a range of positive learning outcomes. These results include enhanced academic achievement and a number of attitudinal outcomes. In addition, cooperative learning provides a natural environment in which to enhance interpersonal skills and there are rational arguments and evidence to show the effectiveness of cooperation in this
