Theoretical Framework

It states that through interactions and communications with others, they learn from each
other. Changes in behavior are the result of an individual’s response to events that occur in the
environment.

Theoretical Framework may be applied to the thought of perceptions and attitudes of

cooperative learning in the classroom since it is the common strategy that teachers used. According
to Dr. Robert Slavin who is the proponent of Cooperative Learning Theory in which learners can
learn in building and teaching students. It encourages students learning in the group tasks and
activities but also helps them in building a social personality in them. According to Lev Vygotsky's
who is the proponent of Social Development Theory stress the fundamental role of social
interaction in the development of cognition (Vygotsky, 1978), as he believed that individual
development cannot be understood without reference to the social and cultural context within
which it is embedded. Higher mental processes in the individual have their origin in social
processes.
