Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Group Investigation (GI) and the Reading-Writing- Presenting (RWP) method in cooperative learning on students’ comprehension of social psychology lesson. This research included 107 first-grade students from two classes. For this research, each class was selected to test one teaching method. The first class was selected as the Group Investigation Group (n=52), the second was selected as the Reading-Writing-Presenting Group (n=55). The data was collected through the Academic Achievement Test. The results obtained from the data show that the Reading-Writing-Presenting method has a more positive effect on increasing students’ academic knowledge and achievements in social psychology lesson than the Group Investigation method.
