- W809194935 abstract "AbstractThis study was designed to explore students' attitudes towards cooperative learning. By employing a survey research design gender differences and differences in the attitudes of the students enrolled in morning and evening shifts were also explored. A questionnaire a bout 'Students' Attitudes towards Group Environment (SAGE) having four scales 'quality of product and service', 'peer support', student interdependence' and frustration with group members, was used as an instrument for data collection from a sample of 250 students. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation.) and independent sample t-test were used for data analysis. The results of the study revealed that students have positive attitudes towards cooperative learning and there were no significant gender and shift wise differences in their attitudes.Key words: Cooperative learning, AttitudesIntroductionA significant body of research on teaching and learning at various levels (Primary, secondary and higher education) has documented and emphasized the role and effectiveness of cooperative learning in small groups (Johnson & Johnson, 1999). In cooperative learning students usually work in small groups and their input and efforts are targeted towards the academic achievement and social goals (Cohen, 1994; Johnson & Johnson, 1999, Slavin, 1990). Cooperative leaning allows every member of the group to help out other members and find answers to questions. In cooperative learning, students work in a team on a common task or assignment in order to achieve a common goal. According to Johnson et al, (1991), the cooperative learning is characterised by a interdependence,accountability and socials skills of the group members processing which results in the mastery of a concept, solution of a problem, completion of an academic task and improvement of learning. It is believed to have powerful effects on student's academic achievement. Cooperative learning has been used in variety of subject areas such as science, education, business and medicine and it has been found to be motivating, interesting and enjoyable (Herberyan, 2007). Research has documented a long list of the advantages and positive effects of cooperative learning such as promotion of critical thinking and deep understanding, and self evaluation and mutual respect (Lyer, 2013). Most of the research on cooperative learning has been conducted in the developed countries like USA and UK but few studies have evaluated its effectiveness in Pakistan; for example an experimental study by Kosar (2003) with the students of 7th class revealed that the achievement score of the students in experimental group (taught with cooperative learning technique) was significantly higher than the students in control group (taught with traditional method of teaching). Research has also reported gender differences in the use and preference of cooperative learning and mostly girls preferred to engage in cooperative learning as compared to the boys (Rodger, Murray & Cummings, 2007).Problem Formulation and Research QuestionsThis study was designed to explore attitudes of the postgraduate students towards cooperative learning at the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan.

Are there any differences in the attitudes of males and females towards cooperative learning?3. Are there any differences in the attitudes of students enrolled in morning and evening shifts?MethodologyThis study employed a descriptive survey design and questionnaire was used to explore student's attitudes towards cooperative learning.SampleThere are fifteen faculties in the University of the Punjab from which three faculties were randomly selected for the study.
