Introduction

Collaborativism

Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both examples of collaborative learning.

Cooperativism

In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.

Tasks achievable in specified timeframe; all parts of the lesson plan are included

Objectives may lack an essential element; Lesson  contains most elements of lesson plan, but order of tasks are in question

Objectives lack several elements; Lesson was not well organized to ensure maximum learning

The lesson in general was not effective; lacked several lesson phases

Use of teaching technological methodologies

Standards reflected, demonstrates clear knowledge and use of a variety of theories and methods appropriately chosen for the class

Theories are present and effective but a variety is lacking

Theories are present but not used effectively and are limited in variety

Theories are sparsely used (if at all)

Lesson inclusive of context applications

‘real life’ context, meaningful applications, schemata, engaging questions, related to other material/concepts, authentic material
