Furthermore, teachers can evaluate each student on the mastery of the material covering the second position and evaluate how effectively students are involved in the procedure debate.
 
Basically, for all models as expected successful cooperative learning, each model must involve teaching materials that allow students to assist and support each other when they learn the material and work interdependence (interdependence) to complete the task.
