Abstract
This study compared the differences in
student achievement in science between cooperative
learning and individualistic learning. The study had
four objectives which were to determine 1) if there is
an improvement in student achievement in science
through cooperative learning, 2) if there is an
improvement in student achievement in science
through individualistic learning, 3) if there is a
significant difference in student achievement in
science between cooperative learning and
individualistic learning activities, 4) if there is a
significant difference in student achievement in
science through cooperative learning and
individualistic learning activities by year of study in
Nantawan International School. The sample of 64
multinational students from the varying levels of
primary Year 3 to 6 were given pretests and posttests
through both cooperative and individualistic learning
style in order to compare student achievement in
science in the second semester of the academic year
2011-2012 at Nantawan International School. A major
finding of the study was that there was a significant
difference in student achievement in science between
cooperative learning and individualistic learning
activities in all four year levels from Year 3 to 6 in the
direction that cooperative learning activities were
more effective than individualistic learning activities
for achievement in science. There was no significant
difference in student achievement in science through
both cooperative learning and individualistic learning
activities by year of study in Nantawan International
School. As a result of findings of this research,
cooperative learning is recommended in the
teaching/learning process to improve student
achievement in science.
