There are many new ideas and themes from existing literature that talk about cooperative learning approaches. It gives an even broader aspect to thinking about the cooperative learning approach and its implementation in the educational system. There are three main themes that I would like to discuss in this paper; (1) the importance of implementing a cooperative learning approach in science classrooms; (2) teachers’ understanding towards a new learning approach that involves practical activities; and (3) science students’ social and behavioral response towards the cooperative learning approach. Before exploring a topic, I believe it is necessary to have relevant and adequate information about it and to know all the factors that may affect it. Existing literature has explored many directions and knowledge, but the most appealing themes to me are the three listed. I think the further exploration of these themes would help me continue the research in this area.
