IntroductionCooperative learning is one of the many important elements of learning. Many people, especially students, have used cooperative learning as a learning method. Cooperative learning can also be used to improve students' social skills. The student can learn to work together to solve a problem. I choose this topic because many people usually prefer to work alone in learning, in other words without cooperative learning, and I hope this can help many people out there. As cited by Sheerin (1996:56), because there are different people with different abilities in a learning group, they can help each other and cover each other's weaknesses, so that they achieve their goal more easily, but there is still a problem in cooperative learning, so I will tell you about cooperative learning based on individualism versus cooperative learning, student motivation in learning, and cooperative learning influencing student motivation. Cooperative Learning vs. Individualism According to Zoltan Donyei, the meaning of cooperative learning is a learning method that requires cooperation to achieve the group's learning goals, usually learning in the form of a group with at least two or more people. Zoltan Donrei stated that cooperative learning is a learning method based on the interaction of students in the classroom; means that the teacher will give instructions to the student, this will help him to achieve his learning goal. Olsen and Kalgan 1992 listed five ways to implement cooperative learning structures. The first is to structure the objective: this means that the group must work together to achieve the group's learning objectives, for example working together in the performance group. Second, structuring rewards means that the rewards… middle of paper… better job or salary has been increased. Extrinsic motivation has been divided into four parts. The first is external regulation: extrinsic motivation requires an external action such as presence and warning, for example the teacher praises his student for getting a good grade in the midterm. Secondly, regulation is introduced which includes an external rule that the student recognizes and will force the student to obey the rule, for example John must work on time if he goes late to work he will be punished by his boss. Third, if a regulation is identified, this will happen if the person indicates the ongoing regulatory process and acknowledges it. The latter is the form of development from extrinsic motivation, and is an integrated regulation that includes regulation, which is assimilated to the needs, values ​​and identity of the individual.
