Cooperative learning is a small-group pedagogical technique hypothesized to impact health by altering classroom social dynamics. Using a grounded theory approach, we performed semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of twelve students at a large urban public high school and explored the effect of cooperative learning on social networks and health. Students emphasized the social risk inherent in group activities and juxtaposed this with the fostering of social-emotional skills, stronger social networks, and protective factors for health. Shy or socially isolated students described significant social anxiety which cooperative learning techniques helped to curtail. These findings highlight the salience of group learning, its effect on adolescent social dynamics, and its potential for influencing health and well-being.
合作学习是一种小组教学技巧，据推测它可通过改变课堂社交动态来影响健康。我们采用扎根理论方法，对一所大型城市公立高中的12名学生进行了有目的抽样的半结构化访谈，探讨了合作学习对社交网络和健康的影响。学生们强调了小组活动中固有的社交风险，并将其与社交情感技能的培养、更强大的社交网络以及健康保护因素进行了对比。害羞或社交孤立的学生表示存在严重的社交焦虑，而合作学习技巧有助于减少这种焦虑。这些发现凸显了小组学习的重要性、其对青少年社交动态的影响以及其对健康和幸福的潜在影响。
