| description | This study aims to identify the use of cooperative learning by using Numbered Heads Together` strategy in learning Mathematics among secondary school students.
The use of cooperative learning via this strategy was analyzed in terms of advantages(positive interdependence, individual accountability, equal participation and simultaneous interaction), disadvantages (time consuming, ineffective if students have poor social skill and encourage bad behavior)and effectiveness of this learning approach. These three criteria were chosen base on the framework identified by Spencer Kaganon 1992(Waugh, 2003), Smaldino et al (2005), Bellanca & Fogarty (2003) and Johnson & Johnson (2004). In the attempt of data collection, the researcher carried out six experiments of cooperative learning via this strategyamong From Two and From Four students in a secondary school at Kuching, Sarawak. Semi-structured interview and self-reflection inventory forms were used as instruments of this research. Based upon their academic achievement in Mathematics subject, a number of twenty respondents were interviewed. This process was recorded using tape recorder. The
data were transcribed and later analyzed according to research questions.The finding indicated that
most of the respondents believe the advantages of cooperative learning by using this strategy are positive interdependence, individual accountability, equal participation and simultaneous interaction. However, a minority of respondents claim that disadvantages of this strategy are time consuming, ineffective if students have poor social skill and encourage bad behavior. The result also showed that this strategy is an effective way of learning Mathematics among secondary schools. Finally, the researcher has come out successfully with views of cooperative learning by applying Numbered HeadsTogether `s strategyin learning Mathematics. |
