I like the language used in this post as it suggests it allows autonomy alongside working together (unlike collaborative learning, where everybody has to be on the same page). "Cooperative learning is an evidence-based instructional practice that emphasizes active student participation and engagement. Cooperative learning posits that structuring the learning environment to optimize peer interactions will lead to better student learning outcomes than other instructional practices, a finding well supported by empirical evidence.Footnote5 Establishing a cooperative learning environment rests on five pillars: positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, social skills, and group processing."
