            The cooperative learning also basically can involves learn student in each group, in here also have they students in learn, how learn more effective and in mentioned the group, also not specific structure because that  be assignment the students and teacher configure. In the learn that strategy, a teacher  just see how and what that do the students. After a teacher explain in learn strategy, and it also the cooperative learning a teacher not differentiate the students, nothing which good and bad, and nothing which clever and stupid.

Effective teachers in Cooperative Learning models make preparations and arange tasks so that each group member must crry out its own responsibility to the not tasks in the group can be implemented.

3.      Face To Face

The Cooperative Learning group should be given every opportunity to need and discuss. Activities of these interactions will provide the learners to from a synergy is to appreciate the difference, taking advantage, and fill a gap.

5.      Evaluation Process Of Group.

Teacher need for a specific time schedule for the group process and the results of their cooperation in order to subsequently be able to work together more effectively.

According Anita Lie in her book “ Cooperative Learning” That learning not only same with cooperative Learning, but still be basic element which can different  with the divisions group is with do reasons.

Elliot (200:59) Cooperative learning definition as one set of method in structional student motivate to work together in do it.

Roger and David Johnson, They said, that work the group not at all can be considered to Cooperative learning. This for five elements learning model of the cooperative learning is:

The according Anita Lie, Roger and David Johnson, they are according next to same about Cooperative learning, but Anita Lie just said the learning not same with merely studied together, but there are basic element wich can different the group and she not comment about it.

Roger and David Johnson they said, taht work the group not at all can judgment cooperative learning, but they comment the element which applied in the learning.

While Elliot (2000:59) definition about it is give spirit to the student in oder that student motivated to finish the task.

Conclusion

Cooperative learning partnership which involves students in the learning, and in this learning we  can solve an exiting problem in the laerning together.

According Ani Lie, Roger and David Johness, to them nearly the same, they said, That this learning not only to cooperave learning, but still many other elements that can  be said this cooperative, but Anita no mention of such elements.

Roger and David Johness they mention the elements so the obvious reason, why do not all work together it is considered cooperative learning.

While Elliot (2000:59) definition about it is give spirit to the student in oder that student motivated to finish the task.
