Cooperative and collaborative are the confusing words in pedagogy. As
much as I know, in cooperative work, the teacher gives tasks to the
groups of students and students perform the task usually with the aid of
teacher. It is the content-based approach of interactive learning and
it can also be regarded as teacher-oriented and the teacher is concerned
as the authority.
On the other hand, collaborative work is the task-based and the learner-centered. The authority is not the teacher, but students themselves. The teacher and the task guidelines are regarded as the learning resources and the students are in control of their own learning. No one in the group takes as a team leader and inputs on the tasks performed come from every team members.
