Аннотация

Abstract: This article explores the psychological and teaching aspects of cooperative learning, emphasizing how small group discussions can enhance students’ academic performance and emotional engagement. A four-week study was conducted with 30 ninth-grade students at School 37, focusing on reading tasks. The findings revealed a 7% improvement in student outcomes, supporting the idea that cooperative learning positively influences motivation, self-confidence, and comprehension skills. The paper discusses these results in relation to existing literature and provides recommendations for future research.
