Enhancing Learning Performance Through Cooperative Edutainment Approach: A Systematic Literature Review

Integrating cooperative learning and edutainment has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing student engagement and academic performance in the digital era. This study conducts a systematic literature review of 17 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2023 to examine the impact of these pedagogical models on learning outcomes. Findings indicate that cooperative edutainment strategies significantly improve student motivation, knowledge retention, and 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Despite these benefits, challenges such as teacher preparedness, resource limitations, and digital accessibility remain barriers to effective implementation. Addressing these challenges requires strategic investments in professional development, technology infrastructure, and curriculum adaptation. This study highlights the transformative potential of combining cooperative learning and edutainment across various educational levels and subjects. Future research should explore context-specific applications, long-term effects, and integration of emerging technologies to enhance learning effectiveness further.
