The 2022 version of the new curriculum standards emphasizes the transformation of students' learning styles, changing the previous single, passive receptive learning, and advocating the construction of a learning style with the characteristics of "autonomy, cooperation, and excellence". Cultivate students' ability to find and ask questions in self-directed learning, and inspire students to develop the habit of cooperating with classmates and expressing their opinions in cooperative learning. In this way, it not only stimulates students' interest in learning, mobilizes students' enthusiasm for learning, but also enhances students' sense of collective honor.

Through group cooperative learning, I found that learning is active and students communicate with each other, which expands the space for students' independent development, so that every student has an equal opportunity to participate in communication and presentation. Cooperative learning in small groups is conducive to students' autonomy and creativity, so that the teaching process becomes not only a process of understanding, but also a process of communication and development.

However, due to the limitations of learning habits and the lack of organizational implementation strategies, there are some problems in group cooperative learning.

1. Problems in group cooperative learning in classroom teaching

1. The enthusiasm of group members to participate in cooperative learning is not high.

Because the group is randomly arranged according to the seats, so that some of the group members have limited levels, and the members have nothing to communicate with each other, so they all sit in a dazeIn some groups, it is difficult for members to have a good flow among themselves due to their introverted personalitiesAnd some groups sometimes have members who are not interested in communicating with each other, resulting in members not communicating with each other.

2. In the process of group cooperative learning, the classroom is chaotic.

Some students speak loudly when the group members ask questions, and there seems to be a sense of high-pitched momentum, and sometimes it even turns into an argument;Some students are chatting in the name of communicating ** class problems;A small number of students are playing with each other in their seats under the cover of noise when others have questions.

2. Strategies to address the above issues

1. Match each group member reasonably before the group activity.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperative learning in each group, reasonable arrangements are made for each group member before each group activity. That is, the members of the group must take into account their personality, gender, level of knowledge, etc.

2. Before group activities, group members must be instructed to carry out a clear division of labor.

After each group is divided into groups, each group should be guided to carry out a clear division of labor, generally the group leader undertakes the task of organizing and carrying out learning activities, adjusts the division of labor of each member of the group, and the deputy leader assists the group leader to carry out group learning activitiesThe recorder is responsible for taking notes of the comments of the members of the group;When the group study and discussion reaches an agreement, the image spokesperson will speak on behalf of the group and explain the most novel and prominent insights of the group.

3. Choose the right time to carry out group cooperative learning.

The enthusiasm of students to participate in group cooperative learning is higher in the context of the use of group cooperative learning, which depends on many factors such as the difficulty of the content of the textbook, the context of the knowledge, and the nature of the problems involved

When a student's thinking is blocked;

When students disagree;

When the answer to a question is not unique.

4. Carry out group cooperation evaluation.

At the end of each class group cooperation activity, the strengths of each group should be praised in a timely manner, and the best cooperation group should be selected to stimulate the enthusiasm of the group members to continue to cooperate.

5. When carrying out group cooperative learning, students should develop good discipline habits.

In each classroom teaching and group activity, attention should be paid to correcting some of the students' behaviors that affect the classroom order in a timely manner, and if necessary, give certain punishments to those who affect the classroom order after class. Let the members of each group gradually develop good discipline habits in group activities.

In summary, in order to carry out group cooperative learning in an orderly and effective manner, it is necessary to find ways to improve students' enthusiasm for participating in cooperative learning and at the same time promote them to develop good cooperation habits.
