Author: Mrs. Manisha Gawde & Dr. Hemlata Chari

Psychological stress is a major problem of present era, especially for student population. Any situation that evokes negative thoughts and feeling in a person such as unpleasant, frustrating, irritable, worrisome and anxious is considered psychological stress. According to Chalfant et al, (1990) psychological stress is “a continuous experience of unhappiness, nervousness, irritability and problematic interpersonal relationship.” Psychological distress is effected by many factors like personality, characteristics, demand of situation, attributional style and ecology of classroom. Everybody in this world faces stressors in one or the other area of life. In this modern world, man is making various kinds of adjustments in his social, psychological, economical, religious and political spheres. These adjustment problems have become manifold in the recent years due to multi-factorial causes such as individualization, urbanization, industrialization and many more. An individual does not feel satisfied with what he has and is always in search of what he does not possess. Even school going children are under constant stress due to cut throat competitions and parental demands.

CO-OPERATIVE LEARNING: STRATEGY FOR LEARNING OF SCIENCE

Author: Dr. Joshi Sushil Visnu & Dr. Magre Sunita Vithalrao

Slavin (1992) stated that cooperative learning refers to instructional methods involving small heterogeneous groups working together , usually toward a common goal. He added that this approach to learning involves changes to both task structure and incentive structure. The task structure refers to the ways in which the teacher or students set up activities designed to result in student learning where a cooperative structure involves students working together to help one another . The incentive structure moves away from a competitive one in many classrooms to a cooperative one so that the success of one student is positively related to the success of others. Johnson and Johnson (1994a) highlighted the importance of how students interact, arguing that it can affect learning, liking of school and other students, as well as self-esteem. Abu and Flowers (1997) added to this, stating that cooperative interactions provide students with the skills needed for working with others outside of the school setting. As Johnson and Johnson (1994b), pointed out, however, it is not enough to just put students in groups and tell them to work together for cooperative learning to work. How such groupings are structured will largely determine whether or not they will be more effective that competitive or individualistic groupings. Cooperative learning is important for creating inclusive classroom environments that meet the needs of all students because it takes the heterogeneity in to account, encouraging peer support and connection. Given that most classrooms are heterogeneous, it only makes sense to use an approach to teaching and learning which accounts for this heterogeneity.
