COOPERATIVE LEARNING: ITS EFFICACY IN IMPROVING TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of an 8-week cooperative learning strategy as an intervention to improve the performance of technology and livelihood education among the Grade 7 students at Sagayen National High School. To gather data, a quantitative research design, specifically an experimental design, was employed. The results of the experiment indicated a positive result in the performance of the subjects after they participated in the intervention. These findings suggested that implementing a cooperative learning strategy could be an effective strategy to provide additional support and address the learning deficiencies of students. Moreover, this study contributed valuable insights to the field of education by expanding the knowledge base through an exploration of cooperative learning strategies and their potential to enhance student achievement.
