A Cooperative Learning Strategy

Introduction

An Actitude Analysis strategy plays on and is a combination of, the two words act and attitude. It helps students make connections between attitudes and actions of people and groups.

An Actitude Analysis pro-forma supports students to firstly analyse a given idea, doctrine or position held by a person or group.

Secondly, it helps students summarise the meaning.

Thirdly, it helps students identify and record the Attitudes/ Values imbedded in the idea, doctrine or position.

Fourthly, it helps students devise Actions / Practices that match the attitudes and values.

More detail

"Actitude analysis" appears to be a combination of "act" and "attitude," likely referring to an analysis of how actions and attitudes are related. This could involve examining the link between people's behaviours and their underlying beliefs, values, and feelings. It might also involve exploring how attitudes influence actions and how actions can shape attitudes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Understanding the Connection:

Act: This refers to observable behaviours, actions, and practices.
  
Attitude: This encompasses a person's feelings, beliefs, and values towards something or someone.
  
Actitude Analysis: This involves examining how attitudes translate into actions and how actions can reflect or alter attitudes.
  

2. Potential Applications:

Social Sciences:
Actitude analysis can be used to understand social dynamics, group behaviour, and the impact of attitudes on various social phenomena.

Education:
It can help educators understand how students' attitudes affect their learning and how teaching methods can be adapted to influence those attitudes.

Marketing and Advertising:
Analysing the relationship between consumer attitudes and purchasing behaviour is crucial for effective marketing strategies.

Conflict Resolution:
Understanding the attitudes of conflicting parties can be helpful in finding common ground and resolving disputes.

Personal Development:
By analysing their own attitudes and actions, individuals can identify areas for personal growth and improvement.

3. Key Aspects of Actitude Analysis:

Identifying attitudes:
This involves understanding the specific feelings, beliefs, and values that underpin a particular attitude.

Analysing actions:
This involves observing and understanding the behaviours associated with a particular attitude.

Exploring the relationship:
This involves examining how attitudes influence actions and how actions can shape attitudes.

4. Practical Examples:

In a classroom setting:
Analysing whether a student's positive attitude towards a subject translates into active participation and effort in class.

In a community:
Examining whether a community's positive attitude towards environmentalism leads to sustainable practices.

In a workplace:
Analysing whether an employee's positive attitude towards their job leads to high productivity and teamwork.

Summary

In essence, actitude analysis provides a framework for understanding the complex interplay between what people think, feel, and do.
