This paper aims to suggest a strategy for employing cooperative learning in situations
where traditional methods are of great domination. It also explores tertiary students'
attitude toward cooperative learning. Furthermore, it checks the relationship between the
total group achievement and its individual members'. Students' creativity is also another
concern of this study. The sample of this study is third year students at college of
education Al-Mahra, Hadhramout University for the academic year 2017-2018. The
study uses a mixed- method research design (qualitative and quantitative) by observing
the students' performance on the use of the teaching method principles applied by them
and their creativity in selecting the materials for applying the chosen teaching method.
Questionnaire is also used at the end of the semester to find out students' attitudes about
using cooperative learning and students' final scores in the course. The study found that
cooperative learning plays amazing roles in reflecting what the students have studied to
their mates. Moreover, the study revealed that there is strong relationship between group
degree of success and its members' achievement in the final term scores in the course.
Depending on the findings, the researcher concludes that whenever students are given
the chance to select their learning habits, creativity appears.
