Abstract:

Using correlation method, the researchers assessed how strongly cooperative learning activities are related to each of the outcome variables namely the student s output and academic performance. They also determined the linear relationship between teaching strategies and the same outcome variables as mentioned. For the descriptive part, the study reveals that the collaborative activities and write shops in English 3, and the teaching strategies used are positively accepted by the students. The level of student s output based on judge’s evaluation in terms of Problem Definition, Content and Structure, Organization, Format and Mechanics is generally satisfactory. Findings of the study reveal that student’s output is not affected by the class session. Although they fail to establish significant relationships between the following pairings of variables namely cooperative learning to student’s output and teaching strategies to student’s output, these results in contrast succeed in showing the significant relationships between the following correspondences of variables such as cooperative learning to academic performance and teaching strategies to academic performance.
