Question 3

What are the steps teachers can use to encourage individuality and maximize the effectiveness of cooperative activities?

Accepted Answer

Teachers set the stage. They provide only the information needed to get the group going. The information is best presented in the form of a descriptive and often imaginary story. After setting the stage, the teacher must step back and let the students work. Teachers should answer the student's questions and monitor the group. This forces students to improve their questioning skills to get the answers. The most important step is the debrief process. This allows students to share their experiences and gives teachers the opportunity to meet their own objectives. Debriefing incorporates open-ended questions. It is important to discuss how students can use the skills learned in the activity outside of PE class.
