There is a new teaching methodology doing rounds. It is known as cooperative learning. In this method, students of different learning abilities are grouped together and then given different set of tools which will enhance the learning ability of each individual student. This teaching methodology can be found even in good CTET preparation books.

In this method, the aim is to create an atmosphere of positive learning. Since students of different calibre are grouped together, this creates a positive environment of learning. The goal of cooperative learning is to bring every student at par excellence level. This increases the collective scope of achievement.

In cooperative learning the maximum emphasis is done on group study. Groups comprising of 4 to 5 members with varying academic abilities are formed. Each student must participate in the group. Incentives are given for participating in the study group. The students are also assigned group projects where they have to help each other out in the preparation of tests and other assignments. The students hence get to interact and also learn new strategies to score higher marks. Observation skills of the students reach a peak in cooperative learning. Cooperative learning does not need any special curriculum. It can be implemented anywhere, in any institute, for any age group, and for students preparing for all kinds of exams.

Thus CLEAREXAM is all about implementing cooperative learning within its classroom coaching. The CTET mock test by CLEAREXAM creates a simulation of the real life CTET exam.
