Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning Method versus Traditional Learning Method on the Reading Comprehension of the Students

Abstract

This study focused to find the effect of cooperative learning and traditional learning on the reading skill of the students of 8 th class. It was an experimental and its sample size was 128 students. Sixty-four students were included in each of the experimental and control group. Pre-test, post-test equivalent group design was used. Treatment of planned cooperative learning (STAD) was provided to experimental group while control group was taught by using traditional method. At the end of treatment, a teacher made post-test was administered to measure the achievement of the students. To determine the effect of cooperative learning on the reading comprehension the significance of difference between the scores of groups at 0.05 level was tested by applying t-test and analysis of variance. Data analysis reveals that cooperative learning was more effective instructional paradigm for English as compared to the traditional method of teaching.
