Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a new teaching method based on cooperative learning in secondary schools. To carry out the study has used a descriptive and comparative design, selecting a sample of 65 students and 8 teachers. All the data collected were analysed in order to contrast the differences between pre-cooperative and cooperative phases. The results shows that cooperative learning has a positive effect on student’s academic performance and classroom climate. However, positive consequences related to students’ attitudes, behaviour and motivation were not observed.
