The Effect of Cooperative Learning Strategy in the Reduction of the Oral Communication Apprehension
نویسنده
چکیده
Classroom participation has been found to be directly related to education success (Jaasma, 1977). Given this, it is important to reduce communication apprehension in the classroom in order to increase participation. Early intervention is necessary because communication apprehension seems to have its strongest impact during the first two years of college (McCroskey, Booth-Butterfield & Payne, 1989). Research and anecdotal evidence overwhelmingly support the claim that students learn best when they engage with course material and actively participate in their learning (Philips, et. al., 2004).
