The Student Performance as a Result of the Preparation of a Class Using Cooperative Learning

The purpose of this study was to improve the performance of students using cooperative learning for the preparation and presentation of a class of resistive circuits. Were 14 students aged between 18 and 20 years following the systems engineering career. Students are registered in the field of electrotecnia for the second semester and the topic is a unit of resistive circuit elements. The procedure followed in this study was as follows: (1) Students formed groups according to their preference. (2) the subject had to prepare and file was assigned. (3) The class students prepared using cooperative learning with their respective evaluations and doubts were elucidated in a meeting with the teacher prior to the development of the class. The students presented the class designation order of presentation was made by the teacher. (5) The exhibitors at the end of class assessed their peers and in turn their classmates and the teacher evaluated them. To accept or reject the null hypothesis that the paired t test gave a value of t= 117.75 was used. The results show that students who are exposed to this teaching model significantly improve learning acquired through use of cooperative learning.
