Abstract

Choir activities can be a collaborative learning space that supports students’ character development. By singing together, students can develop discipline, coordination, empathy, and social responsibility that are relevant to higher education. However, studies that systematically examine the use of cooperative learning in choirs and its contribution to strengthening student character remain limited. This study aimed to map the scientific evidence on integrating cooperative learning models into choir activities and to identify key themes and research gaps. It used a scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework. Literature searches were conducted in Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, and SciSpace, covering 2020–2025. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Most of the included studies did not measure character empirically or use longitudinal designs. The findings suggest that cooperative learning in choir may strengthen student character, but further focused, measurable research is required.
