COMPLIANCE OF DECLARATIVE AND PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE IN COOPERATIVE TEACHING

Summary/Abstract: In a number of works dealing with cooperative teaching affective domain variables were in focus, while the cognitive domain variables were studied less. In this paper, we try to look on cooperative teaching from the point of conformation of declarative and procedural knowledge. The influence of three modalities of cooperative work in teaching Nature and Society on comformability of students’ declarative and procedural knowledge are experimentally checked. Arranging the students within small homogeneous and heterogeneous groups was the basis for the formation of the applied modalities. The sample consisted of 259 fourth-grade students of elementary school. The experiment was done with parallel groups. The results showed that students in the experimental group had better conformation of declarative and procedural knowledge not only at the final, but also at the subsequent measurings, as compared to the control group. Heterogeneous or homogeneous grouping led to the same conformation of declarative and procedural knowledge. Quality knowledge can not be obtained by accumulation of either declarative or procedural one, but by balancing these two kinds of knowledge, by their conformation. Conformed skills last longer and that is precisely the goal of a successful teaching in general, and not only cooperative teaching Nature and Society we dealt with in our study.
