8. Kagan Cooperative Learning has been the most heavily cooperative learning innovation of all time.

9. K.C.L is a teaching strategy raised by Dr. Spencer Kagan.
Presenter
Internationally acclaimed researcher
Author of over 100 books
Full professor of psychology
The founder of the concept of K. structures

10.  What are K.C structures??

11. “Dr. Spencer Kagan believes that it is not what you have to teach, but how you teach it. He calls this Kagan Structures.”
promote cooperation and communication in the classroom
boost students' confidence
Retain their interest in classroom interaction.

12. Increasing the amount of time pupils spend on task
Students are all actively engaged in learning.
Minimize the opportunity for pupils to become distracted or disruptive
Give pupils the skills to work with others and learn independently of the teacher.
Teach pupils skills, interaction with others, turn talking, listening to others’ views and sharing information

13. What are K.C.L structures in alignment with?

14. Kagan's Structures are in alignment with:
Cooperative Learning
Multiple Intelligences Theory
Behavior Theory
Brain-Based Learning
Transference Theory
Generic
Kagan's Structures are in alignment with:
Set of techniques for organizing content.
content free

15. K. Structures are: The way students participate How students interact
like games, easy-to-learn and easy-to-play
The way students participate
How students interact
How students treat each other
Student engagement and cooperation

16. #1 In pairs, students alternate generating brief oral responses
Examples: •Asking pupils to work in pairs:
1- Partner A reads his specified reading paragraph and then asks Partner B a comprehension question.
2- Partner B answers, if correct partner B praises , Good Listening. If incorrect, Partner A offers help. Then they switch roles.

17. #3
In pairs, students share with a partner for a predetermined time while the partner listens. Then partners switch roles.
Examples: 1- At the beginning of each unit, teachers may divide the whole class into two groups.
2- One group will get involved into a o discussion about the topic, e.g: What do you predict this unit will be about? They generate ideas of their own. Each one should participate with words, phrases or sentences.
3- The other group listens attentively then they switch roles.

18. #3 In teams, students take turns responding orally and written.
Examples: 1- When teachers revise pre-taught vocabulary, they can use this technique.
2- Pupils are divided into number of circles. Each circle has a leader.
3- One participant respond to the teacher’s question either orally or written ( Ideas, phrases, sentences).
4- Each pupil in the circle should participate with a single idea either orally or written.
5- Each leader shares his group’s ideas with the other groups.

19. #4
Partners take turns, one solving a problem while the other coaches. Then partners switch roles. It is used in ( grammar, vocabulary and comprehension)
Examples: 1- It is a problem solving technique or a young teacher one.
2- In pairs, one student is a “ solver” and the other is a “ coach”.
3- They switch roles.

20. #5
Students stand up, put their hand up and quickly find a partner with whom to share or discuss.
1- This structure is perfect for class building, processing and reviewing information, energizing the class, forming random pairs or teams, lesson starts or wraps.
2- It is a kind of “ Whole Brain Teaching”

21. 1. All students stand up and put their hands up.
2. Students mingle, mix, practiced meeting and greeting, and find a
partner.
3. Students sit and put their hands down.
4. Teacher assigns and defines the task.
5. Students are given “think time.”
6. Pairs of students complete the task.

22. Task 3

23. "Which Kagan Structure should I use first and Where do I begin?"
