Cooperative learning is an essential concept for classroom implementation. It helps boost students' motivation, build stronger relationships with their teammates, and learn easily. By adopting a cooperative learning approach as a teaching method, teachers help students become more motivated by encouraging them to participate actively in the learning process. This technique is beneficial at universities as it motivates students to digest a larger amount of content in less time and prepares them to interact with people worldwide. In addition to discussing how to implement cooperative learning in the classroom, this article will explore the link between cooperative learning and motivation.
