Abstract

This paper takes college students as the research object, exploring the factors influencing the validity of their cooperative learning in the blended teaching environment by applying the theory of cooperative learning validity with blended teaching and student learning development theory. Through in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys, it found that the low motivation of group members and uneven distribution of tasks led to slower progress in completing the assignments, which ultimately affected the validity of their cooperative learning. After that, this paper puts forward some strategies to promote the efficiency of college students' cooperative learning.
