Title of Thesis : Perception of Secondary Teachers on the Effects

Of Cooperative Learning on Students Academic

Performance and Character Values Building

among Selected Public Schools in Tanauan

Degree : Bachelor of Technical Teacher Education

Specialization : Food and Service Management

Adviser : Mr. Freddie Nufable

The major concern of this study was to determine and investigate the significant

relationship between the demographic profile and the perception of secondary teachers on the

effects of Cooperative Learning among selected public school teachers in Tanauan. The

descriptive research involving questionnaire method under quantitative approach and interview

guide under qualitative approach. Twenty secondary teachers from Tinurik National High

School, twenty secondary teachers from Natatas National High School and twenty secondary

A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

teachers from Tanauan City Integrated High School participated in the investigation. The

gathered data was statistically treated through the use of frequency count and percentage,

weighted mean and chi- square.

Generally, the findings of the study revealed that Cooperative Learning effectively assist

them in achieving learning objectives. “Cooperative Learning helps the student achieve the

objectives of the lesson since learning becomes meaningful when learners work in group.”, “It

is easy to evaluate student’s performance by group or individual.”, and “this helps in eliciting

information from the students thus addressing some difficulty or misperceive information.” The

other teacher help them to determine the strength and weaknesses of the students especially

with those who are in low level ability students. It makes them know what teaching strategy can

be used effectively and give students motivation. The study concluded that there was no

significant relationship between demographic profile and perceptions of the teachers on the

effects of Cooperative Learning.

To highlight the worth of foregoing finding and conclusions of the study, the researchers

suggested several recommendations. In order to enhance students’ Academic Performances and

character and values building, they should give an effort in every group performance and

activities. In addition, the teachers should be sent for trainings and seminars and they must

provide different strategies and approach including Cooperative Learning that would enhance

both Academic Performance and character and values building of the students to be highly

competitive not only in school but also in terms of employment.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The rationale of this study aims to understand the perception of secondary teacher on

the effects of Cooperative Learning on students’ Academic Performance and character and

values building among selected public schools in Tanauan. It’s says that not all group efforts

are cooperative. By simply assigning students to group and telling them to work together does

not in and of itself result in cooperative efforts. There are many ways in which group efforts

may go wrong. Seating students together can result in competition at close quarters (pseudo-

groups) or individualistic efforts with talking (traditional learning groups). In addition,

Cooperative Learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to

maximize their own and each other’s learning (Johnson, Johnson & Holubec, 2013). It

emphasize clearly that Cooperative Learning benefit to those who are involved in group works

to motivate and learn but not to tolerate the spirit of carelessness and negligence in every

individual within the group.

21st century learners nowadays need 21stcentury strategies, and their objective is to make

students a globally competitive learners. There are lots of teaching approaches and methods that

can be used by teachers. One of the most effective approach is Cooperative Learning.

Cooperative Learning is an approach which aims classroom organization in small group and for

students to interact with their classmates socially.

A Chinese Confucian philosopher Xunzi once says “Tell me and I forget, show me and

I may remember, involve me and I will learn”. This has always been served as an encouragement
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 2
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

and motivation for each students having Cooperative Learning in every performance task.

In addition, Cooperative Learning offers a pleasant learning situation for all students to have

equal opportunity, competition is amended as friendship, the spirit of cooperation and

participation is reinforced, and all students are entitled to be thoughtful and creative (Lavasani

and Khandan, 2011). On the other hand, does Cooperative Learning is really helpful to each

every educator who facilitate learning? Does it fair to every student who is involved in this

learning approach? Is it always been given value inside the classroom? Mr. Brandon Gaille, one

of the host of podcast marketing release some cons about Cooperative Learning.

First, it creates a grading system which could be considered unfair in a sense that the

grade is handed out to the entire group instead of to each individual involved. Grades most of

the time depend on what peer grades also that shows unfairness in terms of effort and can creates

resentment that stops further learning. Secondly, sometimes it creates new system of

socialization structure that are not always beneficial. It explains that the better student will

scramble to be in each other’s group to avoid grading issue and for each group to be equally

graded. Over time, this may even encourage students to stop trying and learn from their own

exertion and strength. Also, Cooperative Learning frequently create a system of dependency.

When there are others rely upon for work to get done, a habit begins to develop in a student’s

learning behaviors’. They become more dependent on others to help them achieve specific task

although it is good to achieve goal but from dependency from others are actually leading to

spirit of negligence and carelessness.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 3
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Cooperative Learning is the learning model where the students work together as small

groups and help to each other’s learning (Slavin, 2015). It explain further group work are

beneficial when each every member of the group sincerely participate and involved in activity,

doesn’t neglect member of the group instead having concern by giving them part to do and

arousing teamwork towards achieving specific task with the involvement of each member’s

effort. However, within the Cooperative Learning there is an impact in Academic Performance

of the students in terms of evaluating and assessing student’s work. It highlights the significance

of individual performance of the students and its effect towards Cooperative Learning process.

According to Teacher Vision (2018), Cooperative Learning sometimes called small-

group learning, is an instructional strategy in which small groups of students work together on

a common task. The task can be as simple as solving a multi-step math problem together, or as

complex as developing a design for a new kind of school. By this, learners are individually

accountable to do their part as member of a group.

It also changes teachers’ and students’ roles in the classrooms. Cooperative Learning is

a shared by groups of students. It is said that through group works, learners can actively

participate in learning, share and discuss ideas, challenge each other and internalize their

learning.

International

According to public scrutiny of higher education in United States, on the past few years

has increased with growing concern that critical thinking skills declined on campuses or

schools. Critical thinking skills with Cooperative Learning leads to well-informed, more
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 4
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

reasoned decision making (Pascerella, Wanng, Troliaan, and Blalic, 2013). Without critical

thinking skill and Cooperative Learning in a group or member are less prepared to engage with

their peers and participate in any activity. The report that the growing number of students lacked

some of the basics skills and abilities is necessary to become a contributing member of a group.

Educator may help improve the value of higher thinking skills to a group by helping students

develop critical thinking skills by including the development of confidence of a student and also

their cognition with self – values to participate in activities. If the teacher helps the students to

enjoy the thinking process, the students will likely to enjoy the Cooperative Learning and this

will help the students to improve their Academic Performances by having a teacher with great

passion in facilitating the students to their group work with enjoyment. A student who enjoys

the thinking process will going to be more active and participative in any group activities.

Cooperative Learning is an educational situation where learning occurs while two or

more students are working together to complete a common task (Siegel, 2005). While

Cooperative Learning offers educators an option different than a teacher-centered approach,

problems still exist in regards to which learning strategies prove to be more effective than

others. Further problems exist with the level of competence by the teacher implementing the

different Cooperative Learning techniques. A gap exists in research when comparing

Cooperative Learning methods to each other and analyzing the outcomes with each other in

terms of student achievement (Graham, 2005).

National

The Department of Education points to K to 12 enhanced Basic Education program to

address one of the main weaknesses of the Philippine Educational System – the congested

curriculum. Students are hard-pressed to learn in 10 years a curriculum that is actually designed

for 12 years in other countries. Hence, Filipino students are not able to achieve comprehension

and mastery, particularly of core subjects. With K to 12, students will develop competencies

and higher order thinking skills through one of the key features of the program which is the

provision of time for independent/ Cooperative Learning. It has the purpose to develop student

capacity for self- directed learning, teamwork, goal- orientation, sense of responsibility and

accountability for results. (DepEd Order 31, S.2012)

The action research was done to a Grade 7 class of Sto. Angel National High School in

Calauag, Quezon, Philippines. The research investigated whether Cooperative Learning would

lead to a better understanding of the mathematical concepts. The implementation of Cooperative

Learning groups included the purpose of improving students’ attitudes toward the subject and

their academic competencies. Participants included high school students in Grade 7

mathematics. Treatment involved requiring students to work in purposefully structured groups

over the course of several weeks. Students completed attitude surveys and interviews. The

teacher and peer made observations, and together with students’ information, data was analyzed

to establish any change in the students’ attitude about the course content and classroom

environment. The data analysis reveals that Cooperative Learning increases students’
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 6
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

confidence level as well as their involvement in the learning process. The provision of support

structure by the teacher is necessary to create successful things within the class.

Local

Based on research conducted in La Consolacion College Tanauan (2011), Cooperative

Learning can be expressed or done in several ways. One of it is in a simple group activity in a

class like reporting where the students are grouped by their teacher to perform a specific

discussion by themselves in front of each other. Another way is when the students go together

in a single group to review their lessons. It can be also a research work like this where students

need each idea, effort and time to learn new things. The Cooperative Learning is usually

connected to Academic Performance since learning in group makes an individual learn on

academic subjects faster. The researchers conducted a survey on secondary year levels at La

Consolacion College Tanauan in Batangas. There were 50 students who answered the survey.

However their questionnaires also gather the data that prefer group works than individual works.

Their study gathered enough data to answer problems and questions that lies behind the title of

the study “Effects of Cooperative Learning in Relation to Students Academic Performance”.

The Cooperative Learning activities that which the students are exposed to are the following;

group study, group reporting, group research and other more. These activities make the

individual learn faster with the help of other members who gives other ideas that can enhance

the mind and motivates the passion of a student to learn. The students that are engaged in

working in groups often influenced by other members of the Cooperative Learning. They also

gain the contribution and effects produced by the Cooperative Learning they are involved to.

Most of the time, Cooperative Learning improves one skill especially in their academic
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 7
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

performance. From a simple sharing of ideas to each other in a group they can also share their

skills influencing other members to make an improvement.

Theoretical Framework

According to (Ramos and Pavón, 2015), Cooperative Learning is a teaching method, in

which students of diverse background are assembled in groups to accomplish a common task.

The groups shared the same ideas and discuss to come up with result. The students had their

different background regarding on their history, culture and traditions they grew up. This

diversity of backgrounds helps the students to engage and construct ideas that will reach group

goals with the given task from their experience in the past history. Those ideas are assembled

to reach common goal. Through this diverse background students maximize the understanding

and value of their shared ideas, beliefs and knowledge and also with their prior knowledge from

diverse background guide them in well and clear defined purpose on a specific task.

Meanwhile, Cooperative Learning according to (Larson, 2012) is the interaction and

cooperation among group members that leads to gain more academic and social competencies

than working as an individual. It is the ability of the students to promote learning using critical

thinking in which they can solved practical problem refers to those problems which are related

to factual knowledge. In addition, (Slavin, 2011) stressed that in the process, students must be

responsible for their own learning and for the success of other group members learning. If one

is responsible as part of the group then process of a specific task makes the group easier, active

and participative. The success of the group activity depends on how student learn to be

responsible and how they deal with their own learning.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 8
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Furthermore, (Johnson and Johnson, 2009) said that when group accountability and

individual accountability exist in the group, the responsibility forces increase. The force that

makes students to accomplished the given task because of being responsible, openness to accept

with the given assist task and allow members of the group to conduct accountability.

If basic learning skills on cooperative interaction are not taught, group members cannot

work together effectively to finish their task. Cooperative Learning, compared with

individualistic or competitive learning is more complex because it requires students to engage

in learning task and work together (Johnson and Johnson, 2005). Therefore, social and

interpersonal skills, such as listening attentively, questioning cooperatively and negotiating

respectfully need to be taught to help students cooperate effectively into the group.

Aside from that, (Slavin 2011, p.344) said that Cooperative Learning compromises

“instructional methods in which teachers organize students into small groups, which then work

together to help one another learn academic content”. As the teacher use instructional method,

students will be more active participant in small groups. Teacher facilitate students with the

guided objectives in which instructional method is being more comprehend and leads students

in willingness to assist towards to their improvement of academic matter.

Conceptual Framework

Now that we are in the 21st century and learners nowadays need 21st century strategies,

Cooperative Learning is one of the most effective approach that can be used by the teachers.

Cooperative Learning had its various strategies that exist and can be used at whenever the
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 9

instructor see fit for their use. The purpose of the study aims to look and understand the

perception of the secondary teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning.

The preceding also shows the framework of the paradigm study to be able to understand

the process.

In addition, since Cooperative Learning is the instructional use of small groups so that

students can work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning (Johnson, Johnson

and Holubec, 2013), the researchers wants to find out if there’s a progress in using Cooperative

Learning inside the classroom for the reason that sometimes the value of it has been neglected

and often create a spirit of carelessness and unappropriated behavior among members of the

group.

To identify perception of secondary teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning, the

researchers will determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender,

educational attainment and length of service that will fit in their perception on the effects of

Cooperative Learning. In the process of the study, the researchers will use survey questionnaire

and interview guide to filter out the opinions and perceptions of teachers on the effects of

Cooperative Learning among secondary students in terms of Academic Performance, character

and values building. From knowing the teacher’s profile going to the process on how they can

utilize it up to the whole study, the researchers can propose a work plan that will improve their

knowledge and understanding based on perception of the teachers and how effective was the

Cooperative Learning in assisting learning objectives for them as a facilitator.

However, the framework will be composed of: first, INPUT which will be comprise of

teacher’s profile in age, gender, educational attainment and length of service and then details

about the perception of teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning, second is the

PROCESS that covers of development. It include the analysis of data which will be come from

the gathered data of the respondents, the survey questionnaire and interview guide that will

serve as basis of the study. Last is the OUPUT which will comprise the final outcome and

proposal of action plan to further improve the use of Cooperative Learning based on perception

of the teachers.

A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Research Hypothesis

Based on the statement of the problem, the following hypothesis was formulated:

Ho There is no significant relationship between the demographic profile and perceptions

of the teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning.

Scope and Delimitation

This study was limited only to the selected public schools in Tanauan City, Batangas

and selected (20) twenty secondary teachers in each public schools namely: 1.) Tanauan City

Integrated High School, 2.) Tinurik National High School, 3.) Natatas National High

School. With these selected public schools of Tanauan City, the researchers were able to know

the perceptions of the selected secondary teachers towards effects of Cooperative Learning and

this will be used as data information on the study. This will be total of 60 secondary teachers in

overall in different public schools of Tanauan and the respondents of this study were those

officially employed on it.

The focused of this study was to identify how the demographic profile relates on effects

of the Cooperative Learning by perception of the teacher- respondents. With this, some survey

questionnaire and interview were used and conducted for the information needed on the desired

output. The participation of the selected teachers was a big impartation on the work plan will

be proposing of the researchers for the improvement of Cooperative Learning if possible.

Significance of the Study

The researcher found this study beneficial to the following:

Students. The findings of the study would help them in their knowledge about

Cooperative Learning and its effects to their Academic Performance and character. It will also

help them on their social skills by this study, because Cooperative Learning does not only relate

to academics but also in social skills as well.

Teachers. The findings of the study will help the teachers who constantly have troubles

in making the lessons learned by the students; this study is assistance to them to encourage

students to have maximum understanding of what they teach while participating in group

activities.

School. The result of the study will help them to ascertain the benefits and disadvantages

of Cooperative Learning for the students thus, being able to plan and implement a more effective

curriculum.

Future researchers. The result of the study will serve as a source for the future

researchers for them to gain information about this study’s topic and have this thesis a reference

for their study.

Definition of Terms:

The terms listed below are conceptually and/or operationally defined to facilitate a better

understanding of the present study.

Academic Performance. It is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has

achieved their short or long- term educational goals. It is also defined by student’s reporting of

past semester CGPA/GPA and their expected GPA for the current semester.

Character. A conventionalized graphic device place on an object as an indication of

ownership, origin or relationship. It is also the complex of mental and ethical traits marking and

often individualizing a person.

Congested Curriculum. It means overcrowding. In simple terms, there is too much in

too little space of time. To avoid congestion, one can either increase space or time, or reduce

whatever is taking space or time.

Cooperative Learning. A successful teaching strategies in which small teams, each

with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their

understanding of subject. It is the ability of the students to interact and acquire social skills.

Cooperation in small groups on Cooperative Learning can develop the knowledge and creative

thinking on the student.

Diversity. It is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements

especially the inclusion of different types of people. An instance of being composed of differing

elements or qualities, an instance of being diverse, a diversity of opinion.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 15
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Effective Curriculum. It increases student’s understanding about the world around

them and prepares them to live in the 21st century. It enlarges student’s experience and sharpens

their awareness.

Exertion. It is an act or instance of exerting especially an active appreciable effort. The

quality or state of being active in behavior and actions of a particular kind of economic activity.

Factual. It is concerned with what actually the case rather than interpretations of or

reactions to it.

person or the entire company.

Impartation. It is about to give, convey, or grant from or as if from a store. Also a way

to communicate the knowledge of disclose, imparted the scheme to no one.

Instructional Method. It is like teaching methods, often times a particular teaching

method will naturally flow into another, all within the same lesson, and excellent teachers have

developed the skills to make the process seamless to the students.

Podcast. It is a program as of music or talk made available in digital format or automatic

download over the internet.

Scrutiny. It is the way of searching study, inquiry, examine or inspect closely and

thoroughly.

Teacher- Centered Approach. It is one where activity in the class is centered on the

teacher. It is typical presentation- practice- production (PPP) lesson tends to be teacher centered,

as the teacher leads the activity and provides necessary information, usually in an open- class

arrangement.

Values Building. It is building a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money

for something exchanged. It is relative worth, utility, or importance, a good value at the price,

had nothing value to say, intrinsically and desirable.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter includes the review and studies that are related to the new studies. The part

of the study presents different readings from published and unpublished thesis and online

sources made by the researcher. The researchers tried their best to give different literature from

different libraries. Based on the information gathered from different thesis and online sources

the following literary pieces are deemed connected to the research assumptions on Cooperative

Learning.

At the beginning of this study, Cooperative Learning brought to the researches mind

pictures of students working in groups with titles. Upon further research, however, the

researchers found Cooperative Learning to be much broader and how it is internalize with the

teacher-centered approach. According to (Silverstri, 2012) in a teacher-centered situation, the

teacher is able to direct learning and plan how the course should proceed. In this way, teachers

are able to guide the learning that is happening at the appropriate pace for students to be able to

acquire new knowledge adequately. Every course that is taught will have to be evaluated, and

if the learning is centered in the teacher teaching, the rate of learning will be apparent, and

testing can be executed at the appropriate times. Cooperative Learning not only focuses how

student collaborate with their peers, making ideas more profound but how the teacher itself

facilitate and incorporate this kind of learning approach. Believing Cooperative Learning more

progressive that learners acquire newly knowledge and teacher centered approach become more

balance with the internalization of Cooperative Learning approach.

However, does the effects of Cooperative Learning had deeper relation with regards of

the perception of the teachers? On how they look on the Cooperative Learning approach? Since

only teachers who adopt a positive attitude can promote and use it in their classes (Dweck,

2012). Several themes emerged during the study of Cooperative Learning literature: a more

clear and detailed definition of Cooperative Learning, Cooperative Learning in relation to

Academic Performance and character and values building, and variety of concerns for teachers

implementing Cooperative Learning.

Attitudes and teacher training in Cooperative Learning

(Johnson and Johnson, et al. 2012). Suggested it is important for teachers to know how

to implement Cooperative Learning in their subjects. Previous research concluded that teachers

who implemented cooperative methodology in their classes lacked of previous knowledge and

proper language patterns to fulfill its essential element: Individual responsibility which

focuses on the individual group member’s performance, which means each student individually

responsible for his or her own and other group member’s learning and every member is in

charge of the achievement of the group’s goal.

(Er and AksuAtaç, 2014), explained that the Positive interdependence as the dual

responsibility that the students are demanded in Cooperative Learning situations learn the

assigned material and ensure that every member of the group learns it.

(Bliss and Lawrence, 2009), stressed that Social skills are another essential factor in

Cooperative Learning because in order to achieve group goals, group members need to develop
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 19
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

not only target language but also social skills. Small group discussions provide higher levels of

peer to peer interaction, and more student participation

(Johnson and Johnson, 2012), said that the group processing in which the purpose is to

improve the effectiveness of the group work by analyzing the collaborative information of group

members’ performances in order to fulfill the final outcome Moreover, cooperative

methodology should be based with this essential elements. Thus, scientific literature presents

these and others as basic different basic elements of Cooperative Learning. With this elements,

Cooperative Learning methodology will be more comprehensive and well defined as time

passes by and the years to come.

(Oortwijn, et. Al, 2008) asserted that it has been well documented that teachers

sometimes incorporate Cooperative Learning in their classes spontaneously, without any

previous preparation, which always obstruct its successful implementation at any educational

level. A study on secondary education teachers revealed that the lack of interest and

organization were the reason why 60% of teachers did not consider Cooperative Learning more

efficient than traditional approaches . This perception could be related to the teachers' scarce or

ineffective teacher training in novel methodologies in their initial or in their professional

training. Trainings are seems to be an important factor towards Cooperative Learning

methodology as they use it frequently inside classroom setting.

Nevertheless, (Gillies and Khan, 2008) also found that the schools whose teachers had

already been trained to implement Cooperative Learning into their curricula, obtained better

results than those teachers had not been trained in this methodology. On the other hand,
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 20
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

(Hennessey and Dionigi, 2013) stressed that teachers who had previous training and knowledge,

managed to steer their student's objections towards a more positive attitude on Cooperative

Learning than teachers who lacked this training and/or knowledge. Student’s objections are

common with regards of Cooperative Learning as they demand more, stand on what is more

likely important and achieve only what is necessarily that result of less engaged truly on the

essence of working together.

Cooperative Learning and Gender

According to Jordan, Walker, and Hartling(cited by Er and Aksu Atac, 2014), said that

the Cooperative Learning with its relation to gender also one factor that matters on how men

and women are contrast with regards to their nature apparently hence how are they different in

perspective and concept. although men’s self-concepts are based more on separation and

autonomy, women are more rooted in connections and relatedness. Men like being in

competitive environments more as they perform better and tend to focus on achievement. On

the other hand, women avoid being in such competitive environment because they cannot

achieve better results. Exposure on the environment seems affect both women and men on how

they perceive in a sense one is more likely to fulfill success while other more likely focus on

attachment and on being connected within the society regardless of competitiveness.

Moreover, (Rodger, Murray and Cummings, 2007) asserted that ‘If women have more

positive attitudes than men toward cooperation and social interdependence, then it follows that

learning methods that allow for the development of trusting and interdependent relationships

among students and between students and teachers should be more effective for women than

for men. Thus where interdependence, cooperative attitudes, and desire for affiliation exist,
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 21
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

competitive teaching methods may not create the most effective learning environments for

women’. Interdependence as women perspective on how she look on it as positive way of

connection and as men perspective towards to a well perform to a competitive environment,

cooperative attitudes in a sense women are more likely to succeed because of a high positive

thinking and perspective within environment, and desire for affiliation to exist as women

show interrelation that leads to more better result and good outcome expectation. Positive

attitudes is one of most essential that creates more possible better outcome within cooperative

environment compare of being competitive to perform well towards achievement within an

competitive environment.

As Ellison and Boykin (cited by Er and Aksu Atac, 2014) found that university women

gained more success when Cooperative Learning was followed more than individualistic

learning. They also asserted that Cooperative Learning created more positive attitudes toward

the learning experience and more perceived ability. As we summarize that women are much

more than men since women had the ability to connect on what is really need and had a

relatedness characteristic that don’t need only to more focus on achievements but rather in

attachment and connections toward to a successful Cooperative Learning.

Does age matter?

According to (Joyce and Wilson, 2015), they specified that student evaluations help

professors consider changes such as teaching style, course content, and classroom policies in an

effort to help students learn and retain information. Thus, opportunity for reflection is perhaps

the most powerful benefit of evaluations. In addition, student evaluations provide rich
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 22
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

information about teaching performance, but a number of factors beyond teacher effectiveness

influence student evaluations.

Moreover, (Joyce and Wilson, 2015) conducted a study that examined the effects of

professor age on ratings of effectiveness and rapport as well as Academic Performance. It shows

that students reported a greater perceived rapport and attractiveness with the female relative to

the male professors and for younger versus older professors. However, it revealed that

interaction among female professors only, younger women were rated as more attractive than

comparison conditions. In addition, the students rated younger professor as more attractive and

warmer higher (higher rapport) than older professors.

According to (Lucăcel and Băban, 2014), they asked participants in their twenties about

perceptions on aging and found that the majority of people in their sample held a negative

perception of old age and the aging process. In addition, individuals under 35 years are less

likely to believe that older people can be as effective as younger workers.

Nevertheless, According to (Haider and Hussain 2014), assert that teaching experience

plays a more important role for student achievement. Many researches expressed that a teacher’s

years of experience positively relates to student learning gain. In addition, more teaching

experience thought to be more effective for student achievement.

As (Hanushek, Rivkin, and Kain, 2005) also supported this concept that “students taught by

experienced teachers perform better than students inexperienced teachers”. However they

explicated the influenced of teacher’s age on the academic achievement of students and it

revealed that students taught by teacher between the ages of 21 and 34 years achieved a higher

score than those of 49 years and about, while students taught by teachers between the ages of
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 23
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

36-48 years achieved a higher score than then those of 21-34 years and 49 years and above.

This result is in line.

Local

Relation of Cooperative Learning and Academic Performance

As (Slameto, Louis et. Al, 2014) stated student’s achievement are also often called a

specific statement of what will be known and can be done by the students, as a result of learning,

which is usually in the form of knowledge, skills, or attitudes. In that case, students are

becoming more active learners that contribute construction of knowledge towards a successful

achievement.

Meanwhile, (Arends, 2015) summarized the importance of Cooperative Learning. He

said it should be a part of every teacher’s repertoire. Careful development work and empirical

research have produced an approach that helps to promote greater tolerance for difference, teach

important social and group skills, and increase academic achievement. However, teacher should

be careful and should know the difficulties involved in implementing Cooperative Learning in

some settings. There is a greater possibilities of increasing Academic Performance when a

Cooperative Learning is mastered by the facilitator which is the teacher, thus Cooperative

Learning will be more clearly defined by the students on its importance as part of academic

achievement.

As from (Laguador, 2014), he stated also that multiple researches have shown that

Cooperative Learning strategies can be utilized to promote deeper understanding. Educators can

use various strategies of Cooperative Learning along with their instructional techniques to

enhance learning in a classroom. This will result in higher student achievement. Hence,
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 24
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Academic Performance excellence occurs when there is great active participation of the student

in Cooperative Learning environment.

In addition, (Tanglao, 2010) assert that in order to create an environment in which

Cooperative Learning can take place, three things are necessary, first students need to feel safe

but also challenged, second groups need to be small enough that everyone can contribute. Third,

the task the students work together must be clearly defined. There is a big contribution coming

from within an environment, the way the student feel they are safe, close to one another and

guided by clear objectives of particular group. Also equal participation takes place in having

Cooperative Learning within the group.

According to (Kagans, 2009) define the components of equal participation and

simultaneous interaction to qualify a lesson as Cooperative Learning. Equal participation occurs

when the lesson is structured in a way that increases the active engagement of as many students

within the classroom at the same time. Simultaneous interaction increases student engagement

and participation while their academic achievement is progressing apparently.

Cooperative Learning as an Improvement Tool in terms of Character and Building Values

According to (Tanglao, 2010) explain that in Cooperative Learning, students work

together in a small group on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their

work, and the work of the group as whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-

face and learn to work as a team. In small groups, students can share strengths and also develop

their weaker skills. They develop their interpersonal skills. They learn to deal with conflict.

When cooperative groups are guided by clear objectives, students engage in numerous activities

that improve their understanding of subjects explored.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 25
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

In addition, Salandan as cited by (Tanglao, 2010) stressed that under cooperative

conditions, individual pupils are rewarded for group success. A strong motivation of each

member of the group to complete an academic task is observed. Interdependent relationship is

strengthened and reinforced when group cooperation is rewarded. Group work develops

friendliness, willingness to assist, and the more worthwhile value caring and sharing.

Cooperation in groups promoted maximal generation and exchange of ideas in influencing one

another. At the same time tolerance and respect are promoted for pupil’s point of view.

Cooperative Learning groups exhibit less competitive behavior compared to whole-class

teaching classroom. The group members gain skills and collaboration through experience.

However, learning could be best acquired in a situation where students can easily adapt to the

atmosphere that encourages active participation and cooperation among members of the class.

According to Mauladin as cited by (Laguador, 2014) stated that it is important to provide a

method of learning about the good and the bad, what should and what should not be done when

one is in a shared living environment.

Teacher’s Perception of Cooperative Learning

From the study entitle “Teachers’ Reflection on Cooperative Learning: Issues of

implementation” by Robert M. Gillies and Micheal Boyle, questions were informed by previous

studies undertaken by (Baines, Blatchford, and Kutnick, 2008) and (Gillies and Boyle 2006)

that indicated that teachers did experience difficulties implementing Cooperative Learning.

Semi-structured interview was conducted and ten (10) teachers were asked to talk about their
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 26
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

use of Cooperative Learning, all concurred that they had had positive experiences, both for the

children and themselves. These included comments about the children getting to know each

other better, accepting their group roles, learning to interact with each other, being willing to

take some risks with their learning, and manage their time more effectively. In addition, the

benefits the teachers perceived that they derived from using Cooperative Learning included that

it helped teachers to better manage and structure their lessons and make them more challenging.

Furthermore, as a consequence of these positive experiences, the teachers observed that not only

did the children respond well to CL but the standard of the work generated was quite high.

Comments such as the following are typical of the responses the teachers made:

“They've really gotten to know each other much better than they did” (T2); “One of the best

things for me would be the way the kids get to know one another and relax a bit more . I like

Cooperative Learning because it gives a nice feel in the classroom and you can do a lot of stuff”

(T6); “They (the children) are more willing to take some risks and they are happier to make a

mistake. You can see them learning off each other” (T9);“I really find the most positive aspect

of it is my management side of things. The classroom tends to be a far happier and more

enjoyable place for the students to be” (T7); “I do lots of group work anyway, but I didn't

structure it very well and I now feel that I've got a much better idea of how to do that.” (T3);

and, “You've got your learning skills up to more challenging learning ideas in a group. And

that's been successful, there's no doubt about that”. (T4)“I think that the standard of work

produced is quite high” (T5); “I think I was probably pleasantly surprised at how much they

were able to put down in the activities and how much they got involved with it” (T8); and, “It

turned out a brilliant success” (T10).


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 27
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

However, those positive comment in the using in Cooperative Learning, it was also

important to explore the difficulties they had encountered with implementing it in their

classrooms because their perceptions may help us to understand why it is not implemented

widely or consistently (Baines et al., 2008). When asked specifically about the difficulties in

implementing CL, the teachers' comments covered points such as socializing; “(There's) usually

more socializing than working.” (T1), time management issues; “The time involved is

reasonably difficult” (T3) and, the organization required; “There's a lot of input from the teacher

required”; and, “There's a lot of work in finding suitable tasks, printing up roles, and finding

good resources.”. (T5).There is no doubt that CL requires careful preparation and

implementation because teachers need to ensure that the key elements for successful group work

are established. With this difficulties, the assurance of improving Cooperative Learning will be

prominent and strong enough as when teacher use it and they will be able to organize and

manage it well properly.

Students’ Attitude towards Using Cooperative Learning for Teaching Reading

Comprehension

According to the study of (Farzaneh and Nejadansari, 2014), they explicate that the aim

of this study was to investigate students’ attitude towards using cooperative language learning

techniques for reading instruction. Although cooperative methods are becoming more prevalent

in private language schools, there are few studies regarding evaluating the students’ attitude

towards using Cooperative Learning for instructing reading comprehension in Iranian context.

Evaluation of students’ attitude towards the cooperative language learning in this research

project was conducted using a survey questionnaire. Analysis of the quantitative questionnaire
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 28
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

results showed that the participants generally tend towards supporting the implementation of

cooperative strategies in teaching and learning reading comprehension.

In addition, (Farzaneh and Nejadansari, 2014) define the participant was composed of

54 intermediate EFL learners, 16 male and 38 female, attending Gouyesh Language School in

Gachsaran, agreed to take part in this research project. The participants had already been

instructed reading comprehension by the researcher using cooperative language learning

strategy called Jigsaw Procedure for a period of five weeks. To determine the views of the

learners towards cooperative strategies, the survey questionnaire was distributed among them

after they had received the treatment.

According to (Farzaneh and Nejadansari, 2014), the overall result specified that the

respondents generally tend towards supporting the implementation of cooperative strategies in

teaching and learning context.

In addition, (Farzaneh and Nejadansari, 2014) specified that the participants hold

generally a positive view of the implementation of cooperative strategies in teaching and

learning context. This is probably because when students work in groups they feel that they can

depend on others for help and this gives them the confidence to solve problems and enjoy

learning. Positive attitude towards cooperative approaches may indirectly change the learners’

attitude towards language learning and encourage their interest. Moreover, the findings of the

study explicate that it is necessary that teachers use Cooperative Learning approach side by side

with non-Cooperative Learning approaches. It is worth mentioning that successful

implementation of Cooperative Learning techniques requires structurally planned teaching and

learning activities. Also, it is recommended that this approach be employed for skills like
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 29
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

reading comprehension because Cooperative Learning collects suggestions and ideas from

different group members and contributes the concepts become easily clear.

Two Thailand Teachers Perceptions in Cooperative Learning

The teachers’ construction of different perceptions about the benefits of cooperative and

teacher roles can probably be best explained by Mrs. Supa having gained both theoretical and

practical insights from her experiences in the study. She clearly had developed an understanding

of the principles underlying the successful implementation of Cooperative Learning. By

contrast, Mrs. Malee had only begun to construct a principled understanding of Cooperative

Learning during the final few days of the study. This is reflected not only in her relatively

unsophisticated perceptions about the benefits of Cooperative Learning but also in her being

uncomfortable with the implementation of Cooperative Learning.

(Cohen, Brody and Sapon-Shevin,2005) have indicated that if teachers are

uncomfortable with Cooperative Learning, it is often because they have adopted a particular

technique without an understanding of the underlying principles.

The findings from this study have clear implications for future implementations of

professional development programs for Cooperative Learning in Thai primary schools. With

experienced, confident teachers such as Mrs. Supa who have used peer tutoring or other forms

of group work, short, intense teacher professional programs such as that utilized in this research

study are probably adequate. However, such intense professional programs about Cooperative

Learning are manifestly inadequate for Thai teachers like Mrs. Malee. That is, for Thai teachers

who are relatively inexperienced, lacking in confidence and with little or no experience with
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 30
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

group work strategies such as peer tutoring, alternative, less intense professional development

programs conducted over a period of a semester are needed.

In addition to being conducted over a longer period of time, the findings from this study

also indicate that the alternative teacher professional programs need to provide additional

workshops that focus on: Understanding of Cooperative Learning skills and the advantages of

Cooperative Learning ,reinforcing the importance of team roles to students, organizing

mathematical learning task and materials that: a. Enable all students to be able to realistically

contribute to the successful completion of task , b. are relevant and intrinsically interesting for

the students, c. Can be completed in the designated time. And also scaffolding not only

Cooperative Learning teamwork but also knowledge-building and classroom evaluation to

address both team performance and individual performance.

These additional workshops should be spread over the course of a semester. This would

provide the teachers more time to apply and collectively reflect on the important theoretical and

practical knowledge that underlies the principled application of Cooperative Learning in their

mathematics classrooms. Without this principled knowledge, it is doubtful that Thai primary

will be able enact learner-centered and learner-directed education in their classrooms.

Effects of Cooperative Learning in Enhancing the Performance Level of Grade-10

Mathematics Students in Talavera National High School in the Philippines

The study was conducted at Talavera National High School (TNHS), in Talavera, Nueva

Ecijaby Analyn D. Gamit, Jacquiline A. Antolin, Arneil G. Gabrielduring the school year 2016-

2017. TNHS is located at Roxas Street, Pag-asa District, Talavera, Nueva Ecija near the

municipal hall of Talavera. It involved two sections of Grade 10 students who enrolled in Basic

Education Curriculum (BEC) and taught by the same teacher in morning session. This two (2)

combined classes of Grade 10 students at Talavera National High School for the School year

2016-2017 were chosen in this study in which those respondents belong to heterogeneous group

of classes. According to, (Gamit, Antolin and Gabriel, 2017) specified that mathematics is

considered by many students as a difficult academic subject. Thus, the said study focused on

the Cooperative Learning as a method to enhance level of performance of grade 10 mathematics

students in the Philippines. It looked into the method and how it influenced students’

performance. The study used quasi-experimental research method that involves the creation of

comparison groups—the experimental group and the control group, the following results are

generated: 1) the method positively improved the performance in mathematics of the control

and experimental groups; 2) while effectiveness assessment showed a highly effective result;

and 3) the application of the method showed a positive impact on the participants as shown by

their positive perception of the subject mathematics. In this design, one group is given the

treatments and the other receives no treatment over the same period of time but undergoes

exactly the same tests.The procedure of the study involved three phases: pre-assessment phase,
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 32
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

the experiment phase, and the post-assessment phase. The Pre-Assessment Phase consists

of a given pre-test on the Polynomial topics of Mathematics 10 in order to assess their level of

Academic Performance before the conduct of the study. The Experimental Phase is

characterized by the researcher using Cooperative Learning method to treat the group while the

control group was taught using the traditional method of teaching -lectures and discussion

method. The focus was on individual learning. The control group is the one that is not engage

in Cooperative Learning. The control group is treated using traditional lecture method with

individual assignments.

According to (Gamit, Antolin and Gabriel, 2017), the result shows those students’

negative attitudes toward mathematics in which this perception clearly affects the performance

of the students. The results show that the performance of the students have a better improvement

using Cooperative Learning method as teachers’ instructional strategy in teaching Mathematics.

Positively, through comparison of pre-test and post-test and the corresponding proficiency level

of experimental group, it is proven that Cooperative Learning method gave a big impact on the

part of the respondents. The result of post-test of experimental group reveals that even though

there is a difficulty on basic Mathematics skills of the respondents in addition and subtraction

of polynomials which is the part of division of polynomials, through group studying aided with

scaffolding learning materials, it unlocks those difficulties that makes them easy on how to

divide polynomials using long method of division. Furthermore, the experimental group shows

their enthusiasm in every group activities especially when there is a group game like Math relay.

Through these activities, teaching mathematics in this way boosts the confidence of every

respondent and makes the lesson more active than using traditional way of teaching.
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 33
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Additionally, it is clearly manifested that learners are more comfortable in doing tasks with their

peers to lessen their stressful feelings on solving different problems and activities in

Mathematics. Based on the researcher’s observation group work activities are highly effective

in discovering the concepts of polynomials, as well as determining the number of terms, the

leading coefficient and the constant terms in polynomial through group conversation. As

summary, Cooperative Learning made a significant role in performance level of the respondents

of Grade-10 Mathematics Students in Talavera National High School in the Philippines which

with the help group activities, better improvement specifically attained after the intervention

happened.

Filipino ESL Learners’ Attitudes toward Cooperative Learning and Their Relationship

to Reading Comprehension

According to (Gonzales and Torres, 2015) study, it attempts to uncover possible findings

in the affective dimension through a 25-item survey questionnaire that quantitatively gauges the

Grade 8 Filipino ESL learners’ attitudes towards Cooperative Learning. In addition, the

effectiveness of the approach was further assessed by correlating the attitudes with reading

comprehension test scores in the study. Moreover, (Gonzales and Torres, 2015) explicate that

by adopting both quantitative and qualitative approaches, it was discovered that, despite certain

reservations, the Grade 8 learners had positive attitudes towards Cooperative Learning. Thus,

findings specify a very weak positive relationship between learner CL attitudes and reading

comprehension. In addition, (Valdez et al. 2015) discovered that Filipino learners preferred

lessons utilizing the cooperative approach because they became more engaged in their learning

and were more independent when it comes to pace and participation. Moreover, their study
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 34
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

revealed that Cooperative Learning methods motivated learners to become critical thinkers and

helped them to connect individual fragmented ideas.

According to (Gonzales and Torres, 2015), the selected respondents was composed of

68 through purposive sampling of Grade 8 students from Holy Spirit School. The respondents

were from two sections: one with 36 students and another with 32. Thirty-four of them were

male (50.00%) and 34 were female (50.00%) — with ages ranging between 12-15 years old.

All the respondents were enrolled in English classes that focus on language and Afro-Asian

literature for 50 minutes a day. As therefore concluded by (Gonzales and Torres, 2015), they

implemented the Cooperative Learning CIRC strategy activities over two teaching sessions over

three weeks. Utilizing a mixed-approach research design, the researchers discovered that

participants exhibited favorable attitudes towards the Cooperative Learning approach with

certain reservations, which tends to affirm the effectiveness of Cooperative Learning. The

students favored Cooperative Learning due to the small group size, ability of the activity to grab

their attention and make them participate, and the potential of the activity to help them better

understand the lesson. In addition, not only did Cooperative Learning appeal to the learners

because of the high-level participation and interaction, it also encouraged the learners to be

more sensitive to one another, make more effective decisions, and achieve more as a group

(Gonzales and Torres, 2015).

However, (Gonzales and Torres, 2015) identified a very weak relationship between

attitudes towards Cooperative Learning and reading comprehension, which suggests that a

better attitude towards Cooperative Learning does not equate to, or rather necessitate, better

reading comprehension performance of ESL learners. Nevertheless, (Gonzales and Torres,


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 35
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

2015) recommendation was to utilize the Cooperative Learning approach by the teacher since

learners responded favorably to the approach. In addition, they also recommend the Cooperative

Learning approach in teaching reading comprehension because it allows learners to thoroughly

process the information instead of just recalling the details and also encourages learners to

express their ideas, which was evidenced during observation.

Cooperative Learning in enhancing the speaking skills of students: A phenomenological

approach

According to (Lucena and San Jose, 2017) study, it determined if Cooperative Learning

is an effective approach to develop and enhance the speaking skills of students at Vicente Hizon

Sr. Elementary School, Bangoy District, Davao City. According to them that the participants of

this qualitative inquiry employing phenomenological approach will be the grade five students

of Vicente Hizon Sr. Elementary School and focus group discussion were utilized to get the

needed information. Purposive sampling was utilized since the main interest of the study is to

work with small samples to achieve an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon and create

rapport with the participants in order to obtain authentic in-depth information.

As a result of the study, (Lucena and San Jose, 2017), they revealed that through

Cooperative Learning, students interact and express themselves more to their peers or

classmates during the instructional episodes. The approach served also as venue for reluctant

and fearful students to share and impart their ideas and opinions regarding the concepts

discussed in the class. Thus, they were able to intensify their self-esteem because they knew

that they were accountable to the performance of the group in the class. In addition, they also

concluded that Cooperative Learning offers a proven and practical means of environment to
36
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

help students to master traditional skills and knowledge as well as develop the creative and

interactive skills in today’s society.

Synthesis

The aforesaid literatures and studies by foreign and local authors of Cooperative

Learning are considered substantial to the current study. The researchers understand the

perception of teachers in Cooperative Learning.

There are some concepts related in the study (Johnson and Johnson, et al 2012), (Er and

Aksu Atac, 2014), (Bliss and Lawrence, 2009), (Oortwijn, et al 2008), (Gillies and Khan 2008),

(Hennessey and Dionigi, 2013) provided the attitudes and teacher training in Cooperative

Learning such as individual responsibility and positive interdependence toward group goals

with social skills and group processing. Otherwise, (Gillies and Boyle, 2006), (Baines, et al

2008), (Farzaneh and Nejadansari, 2014), and (Cohen et. Al 2005), (Jordan et al as cited by Er

and Aksu Atac, 2014), (Rodger et al, 2007), (Ellison et al, as cited by Er and Aksu Atac, 2014),

( Joye and Wilson, 2015), (Lucăcel and Baban, 2014), (Haider and Hussain 2014) and

(Hanusheck et al, 2005) gave the study that emphasizes the age and gender connections toward

to a successful Cooperative Learning.

Moreover, (Slamento et al, 2014), (Arends, 2015), (Laguador, 2014), (Tanglao, 2010),

( Kagans, 2009) that expose the relation of Cooperative Learning and Academic Performance.

(Tanglao, 2010), (Salandanan,as cited by Tanglao, 2010), (Mauladin as cited by Laguador,

2014), (Gamit, Antolin, Gabriel, 2017), (Gonzales and Torres, 2015), and (Lucena and San Jose,

2017) stated the Cooperative Learning as an improvement tool in terms of character and

building values.

Therefore the researchers find a very important will be added from related studies and

literature mentioned which can be a guide a support on the current study, since the study is

related to the perception of teachers in the Cooperative Learning.

This chapter presents and discusses the procedures used. It includes research design,

respondents of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment

of data.

Research Design

This study aimed to know the perception of secondary teachers on the effects of

Cooperative Learning from secondary teachers. To attain the cited purpose, both qualitative and

quantitative methods of research were utilized on the study.

As per qualitative method of research which is primarily exploratory research. It will be

used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations on the effects

of Cooperative Learning among Academic Performance of the students. Moreover, it will help

the study to uncover opinions and strive into deeper understanding of the problem. However,

quantitative method of research used to quantify problem by way of generating numerical data

or data that can be transformed into usable statistics. It will also support the study through the

form of survey investigation and statistical computation of data.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study were the selected 20 Secondary Teachers of Tanauan City

Integrated High School, 20 Secondary Teachers of Tinurik National High School and 20

Secondary Teachers of Natatas National High School. The researchers used simple random

sampling and the first twenty respondents picked served as the respondents of the study.

Research Instrument

The researchers made use of survey questionnaire which contained items that is

designed to collect information of data that is necessary in evaluating the perception of

secondary teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning. The items on the said survey

questionnaire includes respondent’s profile, perception on the effects of Cooperative Learning

checklist, current teaching practices and an interview guide questions. The items which is

included on the said questionnaire was based on the following studies: perceived extent of

implementation and effectiveness of Cooperative Learning among Mathematics teachers (

Marasigan, 2016 ), investigation of Cooperative Learning and collaborative testing in grades 4-

8 ( Ferraro, 2015) and format was adapted from the questionnaire of CLIQ from Centre for the

study of learning and performance.

Survey Questionnaire. The questionnaire was the major instrument used in gathering

data. It is divided four parts: First, the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender. Second

is the perception of the respondents on the effects of Cooperative Learning. Based on the

personal assessment of the respondents indicate the response scale by putting check in the

questionnaire which includes: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. Lastly,

the interview guide questions which include general questions and Cooperative Learning

questions that will support the qualitative method of research of the study.

Construction. The researchers conducted through research both online and from

published and unpublished materials relevant to the topic. Nova Schola Tanauan Library,

Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa and Philippine Normal University Library was visited by the

researchers in order to get in-depth information which served as basis or support to the study.

The copy of the draft was presented to the adviser for comments, suggestions, and

recommendations.

Validation. The validation of the instrument was done by asking first, the adviser and

some of the professor that served as the validators who has a wide knowledge about the problem

at hand to validate the questionnaire. They gave comments which served as basis in revising the

questionnaire. The validators of the instrument namely: Mrs. Maria Celita De Leon who is a

Principal III, a 3rd District Congressional Chairman, Mrs.Katrina Celine T. Obligar who is a

Career Guidance and Counselling Instructor at Nova Schola Tanauan, a MAEd in Guidance and

Counselling and Ms.Rizalyn Bolinado who is an Action Research Coordinator, with the help

CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

The data gathered by the researcher are presented in this chapter together with the

analysis of the same based on the questions provided in the research questions. Furthermore,

the interpretation of the analyzed data is included in this chapter.

The researcher analyzed the perception of secondary teachers on the effects of

Cooperative Learning among selected public schools in Tanauan.

1.1 The demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age.

Majority of the teachers were 21 – 30 years old as indicated by the frequency count of

26 or 43.33 percent followed by 31 – 40 years old with frequency count of 22 or 36.67 percent

and 9 or 15.00 percent, respectively. The least group belongs to 51 years old and above with

only three respondent or 5.00 percent.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 45
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

It means that majority of the teacher-respondents are at the middle age who answer the

following statement on the questionnaire. As (Lucacel & Baban, 2014) asked the participants

in their twenties about perception on aging and found that the majority of people in their sample

held a negative perception on old age and the aging process. In addition, individuals under 35

years are less likely to believe that older people can be as effective as younger workers.

1.2 The demographic profile of the teacher-respondents in terms of gender.

Profile of the Teacher-Respondents in Terms of Gender

GENDER
Indicators Frequency Percentage Rank
Female 39 65.00 1
Male 21 35.00 2
TOTAL 60 100

Majority of the teacher were female as indicated by the frequency count of 39 or 65.00

percent followed by male as indicated by the frequency count of 21 or 35.00 percent. It means

that most of the respondents were female in the selected public schools and males were less

than the frequency of the female respondents.

According to Jordan, Walker, and Hartlindng (cited by Er and Aksu Atac, 2014), said

that the Cooperative Learning with its relation to gender also one factor that matters on how

men and women are contrast with regards to their nature apparently hence how are they different

in perspective and concept. Although men’s self-concepts are based more on separation and

autonomy, women are more rooted in connections and relatedness.

Doctoral Graduate 3 5.00 5
TOTAL 60 100

Majority of the teacher were Bachelor’s Degree as indicated by the frequency count of

36 or 60.00 percent followed by bachelor’s degree with MA units with frequency count of 12

or 20.00 percent. Masteral Graduate as indicated by the frequency count of 5 or 8.33 percent

followed by the Masteral Graduate with Doctoral Units with the frequency count of 4 or 6.67

percent. The least group belongs to Doctoral Graduate with the frequency count of 3 or 5.00

percent.

It means that most of the teacher-respondents were a bachelor’s degree holder as

followed by respondents with the bachelor’s degree with MA units. Moreover, Oortwijn, et.

Al,( 2008) asserted that it has been well documented that teachers sometimes incorporate

Cooperative Learning in their classes spontaneously, without any previous preparation, which

always obstruct its successful implementation at any educational level. A study on secondary

education teachers revealed that the lack of interest and organization were the reason why 60%

of teachers did not consider Cooperative Learning more efficient than traditional approaches.
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 47
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

This perception could be related to the teachers' scarce or ineffective teacher training in

novel methodologies in their initial or in their professional training. Trainings are seems to be

an important factor towards Cooperative Learning methodology as they use it frequently inside

classroom setting.

Nevertheless, (Gillies and Khan, 2008) also found that the schools whose teachers had

already been trained to implement Cooperative Learning into their curricula, obtained better

results than those teachers had not been trained in this methodology.

1.4 The demographic profile of the teacher-respondents in terms of educational attainment.

Majority of the teacher were 6 – 10 years in service as indicated by the frequency count

of 18 or 30.00 percent followed by 11 – 15 years in service and 16 – 20 years in service with

frequency count of 12 or 20.00 percent and 10 or 16.67 percent, respectively. In addition, those

0-5 years in service with the frequency count of 9 or 15.00 percent and 21 – 25 years in service

with the frequency count of 6 or 10.00 percent. The least group belongs to 26 years and above

with only frequency count of 5 or 8.33 percent.

Moreover, (Haider and Hussain 2014) assert that teaching experience plays a more

important role for student achievement. Many researches expressed that a teacher’s years of

experience positively relates to student learning gain. In addition, more teaching experience

thought to be more effective for student achievement.

The respondents perceived that the teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

encourages and improves the performance of low ability students and helps the students develop

range of intelligence in Cooperative Learning which obtained a total weighted mean score of

4.89 with strongly agree verbal interpretation on rank number 1.5 followed by the statement

with the verbal interpretation strongly agree that teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

encourages and improves performance of average ability students with computed weighted

mean score of 4.87 on rank number 3. Moreover, the teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

improves student communication and decision-making skills and increases student participation

in learning activities with the verbal interpretation strongly agree which obtained a total

weighted mean score of 4.78 and 4.65 on rank number 4 and 5, respectively.

Furthermore, the teachers believes that using Cooperative Learning is an efficient

teaching technique and encourages and improves the performance of high ability students which

obtained a total weighted mean score of 4.53 and 4.52 on rank number 6 and 7 with strongly

agree verbal interpretation. The teacher believes that Cooperative Learning is an effective

instructional technique in most content areas and helps the students develop better

communication skills in Cooperative Learning which obtained a total weighted mean score of

4.35 on rank number 8.5 with verbal interpretation strongly agree.

Consequently, the teacher believes that using Cooperative Learning helps the student

understand the lesson well which obtained a total weighted mean score of 4.21 with verbal

interpretation strongly agree on rank number 10.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 51
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

The total composite mean score or general assessment of 4.60 implies that the teachers’

perceived higher effects of Cooperative Learning among secondary students in terms of

Academic Performance with the verbal interpretation strongly agree.

As (Slameto, Louis et. Al, 2014) stated student’s achievement are also often called a

specific statement of what will be known and can be done by the students, as a result of learning,

which is usually in the form of knowledge, skills, or attitudes. In that case, students are

becoming more active learners that contribute construction of knowledge towards a successful

achievement. In addition, (Laguador, 2014), he stated also that multiple researches have shown

that Cooperative Learning strategies can be utilized to promote deeper understanding. Educators

can use various strategies of Cooperative Learning along with their instructional techniques to

enhance learning in a classroom. This will result in higher student achievement. Hence,

Academic Performance excellence occurs when there is great active participation of the student

in Cooperative Learning environment.

doing classroom activities and builds a good working relationship among students with the

verbal interpretation strongly agree which obtain a total weighted mean score of 4.87 and 4.78

on rank 3 and 4, respectively.

Furthermore, the teachers believes that Cooperative Learning is an efficient teaching

technique that encourages and improves the social skills and became more participative of high

ability students which obtained a total weighted mean score of 4.65 and 4.53 on rank number 5

and 6 with strongly agree verbal interpretation. The teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

improves the attitude, sharing the ideas and foster rapport among the group which obtained a

total weighted mean score of 4.52 and 4.35 on rank number 7 and 8.5 with verbal interpretation

strongly agree.

Consequently, the teacher believes that using Cooperative Learning increases the

students’ willingness when involved in group activity which obtained a total weighted mean

score of 4.21 with verbal interpretation strongly agree on rank number 10.

The total composite mean score or general assessment of 4.60 implies that the teachers

perceived higher effects of Cooperative Learning among secondary students in terms of

character and values building with the verbal interpretation strongly agree.

Bliss and Lawrence, (2009), stressed that Social skills are another essential

factor in Cooperative Learning because in order to achieve group goals, group members need
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 54
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

to develop not only target language but also social skills. Small group discussions provide

higher levels of peer to peer interaction, and more student participation. In addition, Salandan

as cited by (Tanglao, 2010) stressed that under cooperative conditions, individual pupils are

rewarded for group success. A strong motivation of each member of the group to complete an

academic task is observed. Interdependent relationship is strengthened and reinforced when

group cooperation is rewarded. Group work develops friendliness, willingness to assist, and the

more worthwhile value caring and sharing.

while the teachers used Cooperative Learning to foster rapport among the group members using

Cooperative Learning has the least total weighted mean score of 3.74 with very much utilized

on the rank of 9 and 10, respectively.

According to (Tanglao, 2010) explain that in Cooperative Learning, students work

together in a small group on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their

work, and the work of the group as whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-

face and learn to work as a team. In small groups, students can share strengths and also develop

their weaker skills. They develop their interpersonal skills. They learn to deal with conflict.

When cooperative groups are guided by clear objectives, students engage in numerous activities

that improve their understanding of subjects explored. In addition, (Er and Aksu Ataç, 2014),

explained that the Positive interdependence as the dual responsibility that the students are
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 57

demanded in Cooperative Learning situations learn the assigned material and ensure that every

member of the group learns it.

Based on the gathered data of the researches, the findings revealed that there is no

significance relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of; age,

gender, educational attainment, and length of service. Thus, it implies that the variable on the

utilization of Cooperative Learning in teaching are factor to achieve the higher level of student’s

Academic Performance and improve student’s character and building values. However, (Slavin

2011) said that Cooperative Learning compromises “instructional methods in which teachers

organize students into small groups, which then work together to help one another learn

academic content”. As teachers may develop and improve their instructional method, strategy

and approach in terms of using Cooperative Learning to catch the attentions of every students

during utilization of Cooperative Learning. As (Arends, 2015) summarized the importance of

Cooperative Learning. He said it should be a part of every teacher’s repertoire. Careful

development work and empirical research have produced an approach that helps to promote

greater tolerance for difference, teach important social and group skills, and increase academic

achievement.

Discussion

An interview was conducted in selected public schools namely Tanauan City Integrated

High School, Natatas National High School and Tinurik National High School. The result

revealed the summarization of the common answer found on the interview guide and different

perception of the respondents. Based on the perception of the respondents toward the effects of

Cooperative Learning in terms of Academic Performance and character and building values,

and ways does the Cooperative Learning assist them effectively to achieve the learning

objectives.
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 59
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

From Tanauan City Integrated High School, comments such as the following are

typical responses the teacher’s made in terms of Academic Performance: “Using Cooperative

Learning the students participates and improves their performances in communication skills.’’

(Respondent A); “It improves student’s performance and attitude towards

learning.”(Respondent B); “Increase student’s participation and performance.”(Respondent

C); “It improves the Academic Performance of the learners because of sharing of ideas and

knowledge among their peers.”(Respondent D); “Cooperative Learning may be effective if the

teacher who uses this approach knows how to apply it.”(Respondent E). However, in terms of

character and building values: “Cooperative Learning build good learning relationship with

the other learners.”(Respondents A); “It helps student to develop teamwork and sense of

responsibility.”(Respondent B); “Build a good working relationship among

students.”(Respondents C); “Cooperative Learning builds strong rapport among students. It

improves the attitude social skills and character of a child.”(Respondent D); “This approach

utilizes group interaction, therefore students may learn how to interact with each

other.”(Respondent E). As the respondents summarize that Cooperative Learning improves

performance of the students, as effective depend on teacher’s utilization and build unity and

team work responsibility within the group, the social skills develop and nurture within the

Cooperative Learning. Meanwhile, (Larson, 2012) assert the Cooperative Learning is the

interaction and cooperation among group members that leads to gain more academic and social

competencies than working as an individual. It is the ability of the students to promote learning

using critical thinking in which they can solved practical problem refers to those problems

which are related to factual knowledge.


NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 60
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

From Tinurik National High School, comments such as the following are typical

responses the teacher’s made in terms of Academic Performance: “Resulting to better and

creative outcome output.”(Respondent A); “Collaboration of ideas are way to improve the

teaching learning process.”(Respondent B); “Cooperative Learning can improve the

performance of students “cooperation” really exists.”(Respondent C); “Those students with

low performance/ability tend to rely to the average performing students. They became

lazier/dependent to the work of others.”(Respondent D); “It will improved the student’s

Academic Performance through Cooperative Learning due to student will be able to think a lot

about new ideas.”(Respondent E). However, in terms of character and building values:

“Sometimes Cooperative Learning has negative effect which is, it makes others dependent from

others.”(Respondent A); “Two heads are better than one. Agreement of positive and

constructive criticism build how a value attach a students’ attitude.”(Respondent B); “It is good

for giving the students to know each other. But if most of the members do not cooperate with

the group, other members will suffer.”(Respondent C); “Average performing students tend to

complain because most of group works are done by them.”(Respondent D); “It provides

students cooperation/participation and values through socialization.”(Respondent E). As the

respondents summarize that Cooperative Learning helps diverse students like average and low

level to be better, collaborate with their peers to be well and have creative outcome. In character

building values it summarize Cooperative Learning has negative effect that sometimes makes

other became dependent but on the positive side, it provides values and participation through

socialization within Cooperative Learning. As (Slavin, 2011) stressed that in the process,

learning. If one is responsible as part of the group then process of a specific task makes the

group easier, active and participative. The success of the group activity depends on how student

learn to be responsible and how they deal with their own learning.

From Natatas National High School, comments such as the following are typical

responses the teacher’s made in terms of Academic Performance: “Student perform well when

they do Cooperative Learning.”(Respondent A); “Through Cooperative Learning, students can

ask for help to their classmates in the areas they are having difficulty.”(Respondent B); “The

effects of Cooperative Learning in our students in terms of Academic Performance is the

communication skills of our learners will develop more better and become cooperative in all

learning activities.”(Respondent C); “Cooperative Learning enable the students to have a great

Academic Performance since they are not working alone.”(Respondent D); “Improves

Academic Performance.”(Respondent E). However, in terms of character and building

values: “Students learn the values of teamwork and cooperation though group activity. They

also become more responsible on tasks assigned them.”(Respondent A); “Students develop

camaraderie through Cooperative Learning.”(Respondent B); “ The effects of Cooperative

Learning in our students in terms of character and values building, it helps the student to

socialize responsibly and build teamwork among students.”(Respondent C); “Since they are

working with other people having a unique personality they are able to absorb and compare

their own character and values with others.”(Respondent D); “Build support among students

to be more responsible youth.”(Respondent E). As the respondents summarize that

Cooperative Learning as way of asking help for their peers towards a great Academic
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 62
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

Performance and develop communication skills. In character and building values highlights

being responsible and having reflection on themselves as they go through Cooperative Learning

what needs to be improve. As (Johnson and Johnson, 2009) said that when group accountability

and individual accountability exist in the group, the responsibility forces increase. The force

that makes students to accomplished the given task because of being responsible, openness to

accept with the given assist task and allow members of the group to conduct accountability.

As overall summarization on what ways that Cooperative Learning effectively assist

them in achieving learning objectives. Comments such as the following are typical that teacher’s

made: “The more ideas the more possible learning.”, “Cooperative Learning helps the student

achieve the objectives of the lesson since learning becomes meaningful when learners work in

group.”, “It easy to evaluate student’s performance by group or individual.”, and “this helps in

eliciting information from the students thus addressing some difficulty or misperceive

information.” The other teacher help them to determine the strength and weaknesses of the

students especially with those who are in low level ability students. It makes them know what

teaching strategy can be used effectively and give students motivation: “It helps me to motivate

students to participate in our class and they enjoy working with their classmates and friends.”,

Cooperative Learning helps me in determining the strength and weaknesses of the student and

know what teaching strategy can use effectively”, Cooperative Learning helps the other slow

learners to cope up and understand the lesson easily through the help of fast learners.” and

“Increase student participation in all learning activities, especially low ability students.”

However, Cooperative Learning give a positive impact to other teacher as respondents:

“Two heads are better than one. Agreement of positive and constructive criticism build on how
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 63
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

a value attach a student’s attitude.”, “Cooperative Learning can help me to guide those students

who cannot “catch up” easily and from their classmates they can understand the lesson.”, “It

lessens the lecture time of teachers. Students explore and discover knowledge and skills with

minimal discussion but with clear and understandable instruction”. In support from the study

entitle “Teachers’ Reflection on Cooperative Learning: Issues of implementation” by Robert

M. Gillies and Michael Boyle, questions were informed by previous studies undertaken by

Baines, Blatchford, and Kutnick (2008) and Gillies (2008) and Gillies and Boyle (2006) that

indicated that teachers did experience difficulties implementing Cooperative Learning. Semi-

structured interview was conducted and ten (10) teachers were asked to talk about their use of

Cooperative Learning, all concurred that they had had positive experiences, both for the children

and themselves. These included comments about the children getting to know each other better,

accepting their group roles, learning to interact with each other, being willing to take some risks

with their learning, and manage their time more effectively. In addition, the benefits the teachers

perceived that they derived from using Cooperative Learning included that it helped teachers to

better manage and structure their lessons and make them more challenging. Furthermore, as a

consequence of these positive experiences, the teachers observed that not only did the children

respond well to CL but the standard of the work generated was quite high.

5. Presents the result of the study and work plan regarding the improvement of using

Cooperative Learning that may improve teachers’ perception in terms of Academic

CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This current researcher after analyzing data that have been gathered provided the

interpretation of the same. After summarizing the result of the study, drew conclusions and gave

the appropriate recommendations based on the former. The researchers used descriptive method

wherein they used survey questionnaire under quantitative method and interview guide for

qualitative method. The respondents of the researchers are: twenty (20) secondary teachers from

Tinurik National High School, twenty (20) secondary teachers from Natatas National High

School and twenty (20) secondary teachers from Tanauan City Integrated High School.

Findings:

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of ;

1.1 Age

As a result, individuals under 35 years are less likely to believe that older people can

be effective as younger workers. Majority of the teachers were 21 – 30 years old as indicated

by the frequency count of 26 or 43.33 percent followed by 31 – 40 years old with frequency

count of 22 or 36.67 percent and 9 or 15.00 percent, respectively.

1.2 Gender

Majority of the teacher were female as indicated by the frequency count of 39 or 65.00

percent followed by male as indicated by the frequency count of 21 or 35.00 percent. It means

that most of the respondents were female in the selected public schools and males were less
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 66
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

than the frequency of the female respondents. its relation to gender also one factor that matters

on how men and women are contrast with regards to their nature apparently hence how are they

different in perspective and concept. Although men’s self-concepts are based more on

separation and autonomy, women are more rooted in connections and relatedness.

1.3 Educational Attainment

Majority of the teacher were Bachelor’s Degree as indicated by the frequency count of

36 or 60.00 percent followed by bachelor’s degree with MA units with frequency count of 12

or 20.00 percent. Masteral Graduate as indicated by the frequency count of 5 or 8.33 percent

followed by the Masteral Graduate with Doctoral Units with the frequency count of 4 or 6.67

percent. The least group belongs to Doctoral Graduate with the frequency count of 3 or 5.00

percent. A study on secondary education teachers revealed that the lack of interest and

organization were the reason why 60% of teachers did not consider Cooperative Learning more

efficient than traditional approaches. This perception could be related to the teachers' scarce or

ineffective teacher training in novel methodologies in their initial or in their professional

training. Trainings are seems to be an important factor towards Cooperative Learning

methodology as they use it frequently inside classroom setting.

1.4 Length of Service

Majority of the teacher were 6 – 10 years in service as indicated by the frequency

count of 18 or 30.00 percent followed by 11 – 15 years in service and 16 – 20 years in service

with frequency count of 12 or 20.00 percent and 10 or 16.67 percent, respectively. In addition,

those 0-5 years in service with the frequency count of 9 or 15.00 percent and 21 – 25 years in

service with the frequency count of 6 or 10.00 percent. The least group belongs to 26 years
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 67
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

and above with only frequency count of 5 or 8.33 percent. Many researches expressed that a

teacher’s years of experience can positively relates to student learning.

2. What are the perceptions of teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning


among secondary students in terms of:

2.1 Academic Performance

The respondents perceived that the teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

encourages and improves the performance of low ability students and helps the students develop

range of intelligence in Cooperative Learning which obtained a total weighted mean score of

4.89 with strongly agree verbal interpretation on rank number 1.5 followed by the statement

with the verbal interpretation strongly agree that teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

encourages and improves performance of average ability students with computed weighted

mean score of 4.87 on rank number 3. Moreover, the teacher believes that Cooperative Learning

improves student communication and decision-making skills and increases student participation

in learning activities with the verbal interpretation strongly agree which obtained a total

weighted mean score of 4.78 and 4.65 on rank number 4 and 5, respectively.

2.2 Character and Values Building

The respondents perceived that the Cooperative Learning encourages and improves the

character and values of the students and helps develop range of character building in

Cooperative Learning which obtained a total weighted mean score of 4.89 with strongly agree

verbal interpretation on rank 1 followed by the statement with the verbal interpretation strongly

agree that teacher believes that Cooperative Learning encourages and improves character
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 68
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

building of average ability students with computed weighted mean score of 4.88 on rank number

2. Moreover, the teacher believes that Cooperative Learning improves students’ motivation in

doing classroom activities and builds a good working relationship among students with the

verbal interpretation strongly agree which obtain a total weighted mean score of 4.87 and 4.78

on rank 3 and 4, respectively.

3. What is the level of utilization of the teachers the Cooperative Learning in

teaching?

The respondents perceived that the teacher facilitate students’ creativity in the group

setting which obtained a total weighted mean score of 3.93 with very much utilized verbal

interpretation on rank number 0.Teachers used Cooperative Learning to increase students’

willingness when involved in group activity which obtained a total weighted mean score of 3.79

with very much utilized while the teachers used Cooperative Learning to foster rapport among

the group members using Cooperative Learning has the least total weighted mean score of 3.74

with very much utilized on the rank of 9 and 10, respectively.

4. Is there a significant relationship between the demographic profile and

perceptions of the teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning?

On demographic profile vs Academic Performance, the computed 𝑥 2 value of value of 32.069

is greater than the tabular 𝑥 2 value of 28.869 at 5% level of significance, therefore the null

hypothesis is rejected. On demographic profile vs character and values building, the computed

𝑥 2 value of 67.504 is greater than the tabular 𝑥 2 value of 28.869 at 5% level of significance,

therefore the null hypothesis is rejected. Based on the gathered data of the researches, the
NTC EDUCATION BATANG AS 69
A. Mabini Ave., Brgy. Sambat, Tanauan City

findings revealed that there is no significance relationship between the demographic profile of

the respondents in terms of; age, gender, educational attainment, and length of service. Thus,

it implies that the variable on the utilization of Cooperative Learning in teaching are factor to

achieve the higher level of student’s Academic Performance and improve student’s character

and building values.

5. What is the proposed work plan to improve the uses of Cooperative Learning

in teaching?

Based on the findings, the researchers suggested that the teachers must have additional

seminars, forums, workshops and trainings implemented by the higher authority like DepEd

that will tackle k to 12 program. With K to 12, students will develop competencies and higher

order thinking skills through one of the key features of the program which is the provision of

time for independent/ Cooperative Learning. It has the purpose to develop student capacity for

self- directed learning, teamwork, goal- orientation, sense of responsibility and accountability

for results. (DepEd Order 31, S.2012). It will helps the teachers to gain more knowledge and

strategies on how they can utilize the Cooperative Learning approach. Moreover, also that

researchers suggested that teachers should practice different strategies of Cooperative Learning

for them to easily observe and evaluate student’s skills and aptitudes towards their learning

process.

Conclusion

Based on the preceding summary of finding the following conclusions have been state:

1. That there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile and

perceptions of the teachers on the effect of Cooperative Learning. Thus, utilization of

Cooperative Learning based on the findings are very much utilized as verbal

interpretation.

2. That there is a higher perceived effects of Cooperative Learning in terms of Academic

Performance in character and building values. Thus, this imply the needs to enhance

more and improve Cooperative Learning approach toward student performance in

character values building.

3. That most of the respondents were female compare to the male respondents and

preferably most of the school like being in a connection and relatedness than being in a

competitive environment to achieve result. Thus, most of the respondents are bachelor’s

degree holder in terms of educational attainment and most of them have experienced of

6-10 years in length of service.

Recommendation

Since that the findings resulted that there is no significant relationship between the

demographic profile and perceptions of the teachers on the effects of Cooperative Learning,

the researchers recommends the following actions;

1. That school may conduct seminars and trainings for the teachers to have a broad

knowledge in utilizing Cooperative Learning approach.

2. That teachers may observe that students excel in academic with the use of

Cooperative Learning approach.

3. That the students may show improvements in their Academic Performance and

character values building using Cooperative Learning approach.
