This article aims to explain the application of cooperative learning in learning, including its definition, basic principles, characteristics, and application in teaching and learning activities. The method used in this paper is a literature review by reviewing various books and journals related to cooperative learning. The results show that the implementation of cooperative learning can improve social interaction, communication skills, and student responsibility in completing group assignments. Furthermore, learning becomes more active and enjoyable because students are directly involved in group discussions and collaboration.
