Application of cooperative learning methods in teaching "Solving problems using the method of temporary assumption" at primary school
Abstract
The incorporation of information technology into teaching is a prevailing trend in modern education. One prominent approach, cooperative learning, is extensively adopted across various educational levels, aiming not only to enhance individual competencies such as self-learning ability and knowledge acquisition but also to cultivatebroaderskillsincluding teamwork,communication,criticalthinking,interpretation,andpresentation.In Vietnam, cooperative learning methods are predominantly utilized in higher education, partially in secondary education,withlimiteddisseminationinprimaryeducation.Althoughemployedacrossdiversesubjectsincluding mathematicsattheprimarylevel,theirimplementationinadvancedmathematicalcontentremainsconstrainedand primarily formalistic, lacking full utilization of their potential benefits. To provide further clarity on cooperative learningmethodsandexploretheirapplicationinprimaryeducation, using theoretical research methods and experimental research methods , in thispaper , I provideasynopsisofcontent, implementation methodologies, and an analysis of the pros and cons of cooperative learning approaches (i); appl y theseapproachesto the teaching of "Problem-solvingusing temporaryassumptions"segmentoftheprimary school mathematics curriculum (ii), thereby elucidating the practical and theoretical framework for implementing cooperative learning methods at primary level.
