What's the difference between cooperative learning and traditional learning?

First of all, the difference between collaborative learning and traditional learning methods lies in:

Traditional learning methods: Traditional classroom teaching mainly focuses on teachers' explanation in teaching methods, collective teaching and homogeneous grouping in teaching organization forms, and rewards and evaluations for the whole class or individuals, with test scores as the main reward basis, which leads to a competitive classroom goal structure. In this structure, students are often in a state of extreme anxiety: if they want to win, they must beat all their opponents. Competition tends to attribute students to their abilities. Because only a few people can win, most students lose confidence in learning, lack motivation and interest in learning, and even avoid learning.

Collaborative learning mode: change the competitive target structure of traditional classroom teaching into cooperative target structure. The reform of target structure overcomes the disadvantages of traditional teaching, which is keen on queuing scores to compare the winners and losers, and takes "success" as the only criterion to measure the pros and cons of students, thus causing the self-confidence of most "losers" to be completely destroyed. The ultimate goal of teaching evaluation is "Dont Ask For Help people succeed, everyone strives for progress", which transforms the competition between individuals into the competition among groups, forming a pattern of intra-group cooperation and inter-group competition. In this goal structure, the expectation and goal orientation of team members are consistent, and "all for me, all for me" has changed the simple "losing". The relationship of "winning" greatly eliminates the fear of competition failure, and enhances the sense of collective honor of "like-minded", thus stimulating students' interest and motivation to participate in learning, helping students learn from each other and enjoy the experience, and providing endless motivation for the cultivation and development of children's subjectivity.

Second, the definition of collaborative learning:

Collaborative learning is a strategy to organize students to study in groups or teams. The cooperation of team members is an indispensable part of achieving classroom learning goals. Individuals (students) in group cooperative activities can share the information and learning materials they have discovered in the learning process with other members of the group, even other groups or classmates.
