Abstract
The article ‘Empowering Minds Together: Investigating the Impact of Cooperative Learning on Students' Self-Confidence’ explores the effects of cooperative learning on students' Self-Confidence. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cooperative learning on students' Self-Confidence using a causal-comparative research method. The study utilizes a causal-comparative research method and involves female students from secondary schools. Participants are divided into two groups, with one group receiving cooperative learning training and the other remaining untrained. Over a period of 10 weeks, cooperative learning methods are implemented in selected subjects. The Rosenberg Self-Confidence Scale is used to collect data on students' Self-Confidence before and after the cooperative learning intervention. The analysis reveals significant positive effects of cooperative learning on students' Self-Confidence, indicating the potential of group processes to enhance students' sense of self-worth and the value of cooperative learning as a valuable pedagogical tool for fostering a supportive and empowering learning environment. The findings demonstrated a significant positive impact of cooperative learning on students' Self-Confidence. It was observed that skillful teachers effectively utilized group processes to elevate students' Self-Confidence. Among these processes, cooperative learning stood out as an effective strategy, emphasizing unity, collaboration, and interactive engagement among students within the classroom. The results underscore the importance of implementing cooperative learning as a means to empower students' Self-Confidence and promote a supportive and constructive learning environment.
