LOS GOCHOS REVIEW (Marta Alonso)

Group members: Raquel, Celeste, Cristina, Miguel, Umaima

As the rest of the groups they showed us their role’s responsibilities and their common objectives and commitments. Each one knew their strengths and weaknesses and it was seen that they wanted to do a properly presentation and they seem exited. As a small defect I would say that some members had a longer intervention during the presentation but anyway each one had an active participation where it was shown that each member control the topic. One of the most notable parts was the differences between traditional learning and cooperative one. This type of comparison gathers the theoretical content of the work in a creative way different from other group’s presentation structure. The video and the motto was so original and important inside the topic. This group was so centred on trust and classroom motivation which is totally necessary in cooperative learning and team efficiency. Los Gochos created their own photos in some cases and also information as the definition of a teacher using its letters. It was one of the most completed presentations where all the effort was reflected at the time of each detail preparation and also creativity. The activity the prepared was a perfect sample of what cooperative learning consist on where they have worked natural science and use different groups distribution (base groups, expert groups) depending the part of the activity. Objectives and instructions were shown on the screen although they were also explained and this is a positive point because it let students reading them and understanding in a clearer way. All the group made an active paper not only preparing the presentation also all the handwork that their activity required although finally we didn’t have time to use it. This group made a great different from others due to the importance given to evaluation of the activity.
