Abstract
The major focus of this study was to explore "Effect of Collaborative Learning on Mathematics". The main objectives of the study were to compare the achievement of students taught through traditional and collaborative learning and to analyze there flection of teachers and students towards collaborative teaching. The design of the study was experiment non equivalent. The sample of the study was 53 students collaborative method made students easy to understand the subject matter. The Laliguras higher secondary school at 30 students and Srijarajan higher secondary school at 23 were the sample of the study students. The experimental group was taught using collaborative learning approach and control group was taught using traditional approach. The duration of experiment was 12 days. After completing the experiment achievement test was administered on both groups and mean scores were calculated. The differences in mean achievement score was tested using t-test for determining statistical significance between them. Then it was found that the collaborative learning strategy was better than the traditional approach learning mathematics and the collaborative method made students easy to understand thesubject matter.
