Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the difficulties of applying cooperative learning at the scientific laboratories at Soran University and Salahadin University from lecturers view point and compare them. The population of the study was consisted of faculties of Education and Science lecturers at Soran University and colleges of Basic Education and Science lecturers at Salahadin University, for the academic year 2019-2020, They were (296) lecturers, the sample was purposive and presenting %51.6 of the population. The researcher constructed a questionnaire consisted of (47) paragraphs to detect and measure the difficulties encountered by teachers while using cooperative learning in the laboratories. The results of the study showed the difficulties encountered by the lecturers while implementing cooperative learning at the scientific laboratories. The total results showed that Soran University has more difficulties that Salahadin University, and Significant differences were found due to the gender: Soran University male lecture has more difficulties than salahadin university male lecturers, Also Soran University female lecturers has more difficulties than Salahadin University University female lecturers. In the other side The most difficulty at Soran University was the curricula which is not designed well to cooperative learning, while the most difficulty at salahadin University was the large number of students at the scientific laboratories.
