. Because competition is often viewed as beingthe opposite of cooperation, educators tend to refrain from using competition as an activelearning method, with the exception of many engineering technology educators, who usecompetition in combination with other active learning methods. Research in primary educationsupports cooperative learning over competition learning, as competition learning is almostalways assumed to be individualized competition. Competition learning in higher education, onthe other hand, is not necessarily individualized, but rather can be applied as cooperativecompetition4, in which the students compete in groups.The main focus of this study is to determine whether competition, combined with an element ofcooperation, can be an
