What is STAD
STAD is a cooperative learning strategy where
students are placed into mixed-ability teams. Initially,
all students receive instruction and practice
individually. Then, they come together in their teams
to review, discuss, and help each other master the
material. Finally, students are assessed individually,
and team scores are calculated based on the individual
performance of team members.

Team study: Students


work on worksheets in
their teams to master the
material.
Detailed Guide on
Implementing STAD in
the Classroom
Assign students to teams of four or five members each. Four are
preferable; make five-member teams only if the class is not divisible by
four. To assign the students, rank them from top to bottom on some
measure of academic performance (e.g., past grades, test scores) and
divide the ranked list into quarters, placing any extra students in the
middle quarters. Then put one student from each quarter on each
team, making sure that the teams are well balanced in gender and
ethnicity. Extra (middle) students may become fifth members of teams.
Make a worksheet and a short quiz for the lesson you plan to teach.
During team study the team members’ tasks
are to master the material you presented in your lesson and to help
their teammates master the material. Students have worksheets or
other study materials that they can use to practice the skill being taught
and to assess themselves and their teammates.
Introduce STAD and read off team assignments:
Have teams gather together and choose a team name.
Distribute worksheets or study materials (two per team).
Encourage students to work in groups, checking each other's work.
Stress that they're not finished until everyone achieves 100%.
Clarify that worksheets are for studying, not for turning in.
Ensure students understand the importance of explaining answers to each
other.
Encourage students to ask teammates for help before asking the teacher.
Circulate the class, praising effective teamwork and providing support
where needed.
Distribute the quiz or other assessment, and give students adequate
time to complete it. Do not let students work together on the quiz; at
this point they must show what they have learned as individuals.
students move their desks apart if this is possible. Either allow students
to exchange papers
Figure individual and team scores. Team scores in STAD are based on
team members’ improvements over their own past records As soon as
possible after each quiz, you should compute individual team scores,
and write a class newsletter (or prepare a class bulletin board) to
announce the team scores.
Recognize team accomplishments. As soon as you have calculated
points for each student and figured team scores, you should provide
some sort of recognition to team. You might give certificates to team members or
prepare a bulletin board display.
If you give
more than one quiz in a week, combine the quiz results into a single
weekly score. After 5 or 6 weeks of STAD, reassign students to new
teams. This allows students to work with other classmates and keeps
the program fresh.

An individual group member may dominate the discussion.

My analysis
1. Active Learning: STAD promotes engagement through collaborative study, deepening
understanding.

2. Collaboration: Positive interdependence fosters teamwork and communication skills.

3. Individualized Learning: Students receive peer support, addressing diverse learning needs.

4. Accountability: Each student's contribution impacts the group's success, fostering


responsibility.

5. Reflection: Group processing encourages self-assessment and continuous improvement.

6. Equity: Heterogeneous groups ensure inclusivity, promoting equal opportunities for success.
