- Abstract
The complex reality of society today makes necessary innovative methods of cooperation that will arouse curiosity and creativity of university students in order to make learning easier. Cooperative Learning is a methodology that promotes active student participation and the ability to analyze and discuss critically. The purpose of this study is to examine the cooperative learning methodology from the student's point of view and to analyze their perceptions regarding the acquisition of competences through three activities designed with varying degrees of complexity and innovation, two of them are cooperative and the other one is individual. The results of the survey of students who have worked this technique in the subject of Management of Nonprofit Organizations, in Business Administration degree at the University of Zaragoza throughout the 2011-2012 academic year, show the high valuation performed by students of all analyzed parameters of cooperative learning. Furthermore we verify that the students acquire the competences required by the subject. Specifically, those designed as cooperative activities allow them to work much greatly improve their competences from a global point of view, as in terms of specific and transversal competences. Moreover, students perceive higher improvement of its competences, specific and transversal, with the two cooperative activities than with the individual activity. Therefore, it seems that various forms of learning involve different activities, each of which contains a partial sample of that complex whole which is the set of competences.
