Indi - normal: GOOD MORNING! A MORNING WALK IN LOCAL PARK... Colla - normal: HI INDY! WHAT A NICE DAY TO WALK IN THE PARK?BY THE WAY THIS IS MY FRIEND COOP! Hey Boy - happy: HI INDY, NICE TO MEET YOU! Indi - normal: HI!... SO WHAT´S HAPPANIG COLLA? INDY ALWAYS SO SOCIAL... Colla - normal: WELL I APPLIED FOR A NEW COURSE,AND I HAD TO CHOOSE WHAT KIND OF LEARNING I WANT TO ATTEND: INDIVIDUAL OR COLLABORATIVE. Indi - normal: OF COURSE YOU SHOULD OPT FOR INDIVIDUAL ... YOU HAVE MUCH MORE FREEDOM IN YOUR CHOICES!DON´T YOU THINK?! Colla - normal: OH, INDY. I WANT TO WORK WITH A GROUP, NOT ALONE! ...REDUCE ALONENESS... Indi - normal: IT IS A WASTE OF TIME! YOU WILL LOOSE A LOT,TRYING TO ORGANIZE YOUR WORK AND COORDINATE SCHEDULES! Colla - normal: DONT YOU THINK IT´S BETTER TO BE RESPONSABLE FOR OUR WORK, FOR OUR LEARNING, RESPECTING THE CONTRIBUITIONS OF OUR PEERS? ??? Indi - normal: YOU ARE RESPONSABLE FOR YOURSELF! THAT IS MY POINT OF VIEW! MYSELF ABOVE EVERYTHING!!! Hey Boy - mad - shouting: HELOOO!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT COOPERATIVE LEARNING IS, TEACHER CENTERED AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING IS STUDENT CENTERED? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?... ...AND HERE WE GO... Indi - normal: MEANS THAT IT´S NOT CENTERED ON ME!BUT PLEASE DO EXPLAIN YOUR MAGICAL THEORY...I´M CURIOUS! IRONIC? Hey Boy - smitten: WELL THEN TELL ME SOMETHING... IF YOU CAN TAKE THE BEST OF TWO PARTS, DON'T YOU THINK IT´S BETTER? ...A CEPTIC... Indi - normal: I ALWAYS WANT WAT IS BEST FOR ME. OF COURSE.. Colla - normal: ME TOO. MY TEACHERS WILL HELP ME AND MY GROUP WILL DEVELOP AN ACTIVE ROOLL IN MY LEARNING PROCESS. Hey Boy - smitten: BUT WE CAN HAVE A SELF-PACING AND FREEDOM ...AND AT THE SAME TIME WE CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE INTERNET!! Colla - normal: THAT´S NOT ALL, THE ONES WHO WORK IN GROUP DEVELOP SKILLS LIKE: LEADERSHIP, DECISION MAKING, TRUST BUILDING, COMMUNICATION AND MOSTLY CONFLICT-MANAGEMENT. Indi - surprised: BUT HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE, TO WORK WITH OTHERS, AND KEEP OUR PACE? HOW COOPERATION CAN HELP MY LEARNING PROCESS? ...BLA, BLA, BLA... Hey Boy - smitten: IT'S EASY! WHEN YOU WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE, YOU RECEIVE MORE MOTIVATION, AND INPUTS THAT HELP´S YOUR DEVELOPMENT. PEERS-HELP IS A BIG CONTRIBUTION FOR YOUR OWN SUCESS. C'MON... Colla - normal: DON´T FORGET THAT STUDENTS CAN DISCUSS WHAT THEY´VE LEARNED WITH THE WORK OF EACH OTHER. Indi - surprised: SO WORKING WITH OTHERS AND STILL KEEPING MY OWN SPACE, PACE AND TIME? CAN I ACCESS WHEN AND WHERE I WANT? CAN I LEARN WHAT I WANT? Hey Boy - smitten: YES, GENERALLY. AND YOU WIN MORE EXPERIENCE, HELP,DIFFERENT AND COMPLEMENTARY VISIONS OF THE SAME SUBJECT. IN LESS TIME!AND WORK. Colla - normal: FIRST OF ALL, IT REQUIRES REFLECTION! Colla - normal: AS YOU KNOW, STUDENTS TEND TO LISTEN IN A MORE OPENED WAY, AND WITH MORE INTEREST TO THEIR COLLEGUES THAN TO THEIR TEACHERS! Indi - surprised: MAYBE! BUT WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THEORY? Hey Boy - smitten: COOPERATIVE FREEDOM. IS A CHALLENGE NOT A DREAM. FINALLY!!! Colla - normal: BUT WITH THESE COOPERATIVE MODEL, THE TEACHER STILL MAINTAINS A COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CLASS! Hey Boy - smitten: YES, BUT IT´S TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL OF THE COURSE. Indi - surprised: LETS SAY YOU ARE RIGHT! HOW CAN I FIND A PEER-HELP, OR A COMUNITY TO WORK WITH? HUMMM... Hey Boy - smitten: IN YOUR CLASS OR NEAR TO SENIORS STUDENTS. Colla - normal: TALKING ABOUT PEERS, FOR ME IT´S VERY IMPORTANT THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND ABILITIES OF MY PEERS. Hey Boy - smitten: WELL, I LIKE SEEING PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER IN GROUPS SEEKING FOR A SPECIFIC GOAL. Indi - surprised: IS IT POSSIBLE TO WORK IN COMMUNITY AND KEEP OUR SELF-PACED? OR THE WORK HAS TO BE BASED IN THE CLASS-BASED PACING? Hey Boy - smitten: LIKE I SAID BEFORE YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN SELF-PACED WITHIN THE GROUP. BRBRBRBR... Indi - surprised: SO...THE CLASS-BASED PACING IS THE RESULT OF THE MIX OF SELF-PACED OF THE LEARNERS? HUMMM.... Hey Boy - surprised: I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY...BUT IT´S POSSIBLE. IT´S A COMMUNITY CONSTRUTION (TEACHER AND STUDENTS).THEY CAN WORK THAT WAY! Indi - surprised: WHAT ABOUT THE METHODS? Colla - normal: WELL, MOST OF THE TIME WE USE QUALITATIVE APROACH.EVERYTHING THAT THE STUDENT DOES IS ANALYSED. I´M ON COMMAND! Hey Boy - disgusted: NO, NO! MOST OF THE TIMES WE USE QUANTITATIVE METHODS. WHAT MATTERS IS THE PRODUCT OF THE LEARNING PROCESS. Colla - normal: WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO LEARN BY THE COLLABORATIVE PERSPECTIVE, WE MUST THINK OF SOME ASPECTS... Indi - surprised: WHAT KIND OF ASPECTS? Colla - normal: WELL THEN... ASPECTS LIKE WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ACTIVITY, BUT MOST OF ALL, ACCENTUATE THE IMPORTANCE OF DIALOGING. Hey Boy - smitten: OH! THE SOCIAL SKILLS ALWAYS MATTERS, AND TAKE VARIOUS ROLES, ALSO. Colla - normal: OK. NEXT TIME THAT I ENROLL FOR A ONLINE COURSE, I´LL CHOOSE COOPERATIVE FREEDOM MODEL! Hey Boy - surprised: THAT´S A GOOD IDEA!!! Colla - normal: I WILL BE WORKING IN GROUPS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL OF THE COURSE. Indi - normal: AND, YOU WILL KEEP YOUR INDIVIDUALLY FREEDOM! Hey Boy - smitten: EXACTLY!!! ...FINALLY! Colla - normal: I WILL HAVE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, AND NOT A PASSIVE ACCEPTANCE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE TEACHER. Hey Boy - smitten: DON´T FORGET THAT THE TRADITIONAL ROLES OF FACULTY ARE CHANGING. Colla - normal: AS A DISTANCE LEARNER I NEED COOPERATION AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM DISPITE OF MY MOTIVATION.I´LL HAVE ORIENTED ACTIVITY AND THE COURSE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. ...MARVELLOUS! Colla - normal: ...AND I CAN COMBINE MY SOCIAL LIFE, JOB, FAMILY AND EDUCATION! WHAT A RELIEF! Indi - normal: I REALLY LIKE THE THEORY...I CAN BE MYSELF AND LEARN WITH OTHERS! NOW I CAN GO HOME SEARCH FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS THEORY! Hey Boy - happy: BUT DON´T FORGET...THIS CONVERSATION WAS A COOPERATIVE MOMENT!!! WE WORK TOGETHER ABOUT OUR´S LEARNING PERSPECTIVES! Indi - normal: YES IT´S TRUTH!!! AND IT WASN´T A WASTE OF TIME. ...HE IS GOOD! Colla - normal: NOT AT ALL! Hey Boy - happy: SO GOOD LUCK AND IF YOU WANT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ANYTIME! Indi - normal: THANKS! BYE COLLA IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU AND I LIKED MEETING YOUR: (NOW) OUR, "PEER". BYE COOP! Colla - normal: BYE INDY. W´LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONLINE COURSE!BYE COOP!
