Cooperative Learning and the Improvement of Generic Competence Development in University Students

Abstract

The objective of the present investigation is to measure the relationship between cooperative learning and generic competencies in university students. The research corresponds to the hypothetical-deductive method, a quantitative approach, with a correlational cross-sectional design. The instruments applied were questionnaires administered to sixty students. The Kolgomorov-Smirnov statistic was applied for the assumption of normality, and Spearman's Rho was used for the correlation test. After processing the data, a high positive correlation of 0.653 and a P-value of 0.000 were evidenced, which lead to the conclusion that there is a positive relationship of moderate level between cooperative learning and generic competencies in the student.
