Abstract [en]

This systematic literature review aimed to investigate what previous research showed regarding cooperative learning methods on students' performance and reasoning skills in mathematics. This is because international surveys such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends In International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) have shown low results. Through cooperative learning, students work together to achieve group goals that cannot be achieved individually or through competition. Students in a cooperative classroom discuss the subject, help each other learn, and provide encouragement to the students in the group. Hence, it is of the utmost relevance to find out what the research says about whether a cooperative working method can contribute to increasing students' performance and reasoning skills in mathematics.

To find out what the research shows, the following research question was chosen: What effects does cooperative learning have on students' reasoning and achievement in mathematics during the early years of elementary school?

Based on thematic analysis, the results of this study showed that the cooperative learning showed positive effects on students' reasoning ability, motivation and achievements in mathematics in comparison to traditional learning methods, this independent of students' prior knowledge. In order for cooperative learning to benefit students' performance and reasoning skills in mathematics, tasks must be open and teaching must be based on the five key elements; positive interdependence, individual responsibility, collaborative skills, equal participation and supportive interaction, feedback and reflection.

Abstract [sv]

Denna systematiska litteraturöversikt syftade till att undersöka vad tidigare forskning visade när det gällde kooperativa inlärningsmetoder på elevers prestationer och resonemangsförmåga i matematik. Detta genom att internationella undersökningar som Programme For International Student Assessment (PISA) och Trends In International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) har visat på låga resultat. Genom kooperativt lärande arbetar elever tillsammans för att uppnå gruppmål som inte kan uppnås individuellt eller genom konkurrens. Elever i ett kooperativt klassrum diskuterar ämnet, hjälper varandra att lära och ger uppmuntran till eleverna i gruppen. Därav är det av relevans att ta reda på vad forskningen säger om huruvida ett kooperativt arbetssätt kan bidra till att öka elevers prestationer och resonemangsförmåga i matematik. 

För att ta reda på vad forskningen visar, valdes följande forskningsfråga: Vilka effekter har kooperativt lärande på elevers resonemang och prestationer i matematik under grundskolans tidiga år? 

Utifrån tematisk analys visade resultatet av denna studie att det kooperativa lärandet visat positiva effekter på elevers resonemangsförmåga, motivation och prestationer i matematik i jämförelse med traditionella inlärningsmetoder, detta oberoende på elevers förkunskaper. För att det kooperativa lärandet skulle gynna elevers prestationer och resonemangsförmåga i matematik ska uppgifter vara öppna och undervisningen ska bygga på de fem nyckelelementen; positivt ömsesidigt beroende, individuellt ansvar, samarbetsfärdigheter, lika delaktighet och stödjande interaktion, återkoppling och reflektion.
