Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Co-operative learning is a teaching strategy in which small groups of students, deliberately mixed by ability level, work together through a variety of activities toward a shared learning goal; the improvement in each member's understanding comes from structured peer interaction rather than from the teacher's method of instruction or a particular sensory mode of delivery.
The question's stem — small groups, students of different ability levels, a variety of learning activities, aimed at improving understanding of a subject — is precisely this structure, so 'Co-operative learning' is the correct choice.
Multi-sensory learning is defined by engaging several senses (sight, sound, touch) together in how content is presented; it makes no reference to how students are grouped.
Team teaching is defined by two or more teachers jointly planning and delivering instruction to one class; the collaboration is among instructors, not students.
Programmed learning is a self-paced method with content broken into small sequential steps and immediate feedback on each response; students work through it individually rather than in groups.
Only co-operative learning matches both the group-composition (mixed-ability, small groups) and the activity-based, peer-driven improvement described in the stem.
