cooperative learning

n. 1. (also group learning, collaborative learning) one of the three primary components of Outcome-Based Education, where two to five children are grouped in a classroom in order to do everything as a team. The teachers do not teach; they facilitate. The students do not study; they practice higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). The fast team members learn to help the slower team members and everyone on the team receives the same grade. Reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, etc. are of course irrelevant skills.
