COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY AND GROUP COHESIVENESS



The Indian society including the present educational system is mainly based on competition. This scenario is also found in the system of teacher education. If the prospective teachers need to be productive and efficient collaborator, then the same need to be ingrained at the stage of the pre service education In order to improve collaboration the factors affecting teamwork must be examined to identify. One factor contributing to teamwork is group cohesiveness. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Cooperative Learning Strategy on group cohesiveness. Subjects (N=84) were randomly placed into two groups. The experimental group was subjected to intervention using a Training Package on Cooperative Learning Strategy of fifty hours duration and Post test was administered to both the groups after completion of the intervention. The results of posttest of both the groups were compared to determine the effect on group cohesiveness.
