Abstract

This study aims to qualitatively describe the Psychological Dynamics and Polarization of Students' Attitudes towards Cooperative Learning: A Literature Study and Passive Field Observation. This study uses literature study methods, passive field observations and in-depth interviews and documentation of classroom learning activities using cooperative learning methods for students. The results of the study indicate that cooperative learning has highly polarized characteristics and is manifested in three main psychological dimensions, namely cognitive, affective, and conative. The theoretical implications of these findings strengthen the understanding in instructional psychology that the success of cooperative learning does not occur automatically simply by dividing students into random groups. This study is expected to increase the insight and knowledge of cooperative learning for lecturers and students
