Learning that highlights individual contributions to group work is which term?

• A. Needs analysis
• B. Integration
• C. Cooperative
• D. Total physical response

Answer: (C)

Cooperative learning centers on students working together in small groups where success depends on each member contributing their part. In this approach, tasks are designed so that group outcomes hinge on individual contributions, and each student has a specific role or responsibility. The teacher tracks both the group process and how each person participates, making individual efforts visible and ensuring accountability. This setup not only helps the final product improve, but also builds collaboration, communication, and social skills as students explain ideas, give feedback, and support one another. The other terms don’t fit because needs analysis focuses on identifying what learners need to learn, integration refers to combining different elements or subjects, and Total Physical Response is a language teaching method that uses physical actions to aid learning rather than structuring group accountability.
