Kampung is a Malay word for community or village. Traditionally, kampung spirit means that people look out for each other. For instance, all the adults in a village look out for all the children in that village, regardless of who the children’s parents are. When misfortunes (e.g., illnesses or storm damage) strike some of the villagers, everyone rallies to help their neighbors. Cooperative learning (CL) groups are like a kampung. Groups do not only help each other learn; they can be an overall support system. For example, if one member misses school, groupmates can catch them up on what they missed. If someone is having a family problem or trouble with bullies, the group can provide listening ears and maybe more. This is one reason that CL groups shouldn’t change too often; it takes a while to build ties. At the same time, even when students are in long-term CL groups, there can still be opportunities for short-term groups through activities such as 7S or Everyone Can Explain – Mobile.
