Abstract

The terms “cooperation” and “collaboration” have been used by educators and researchers over the years, in different works, such as Torres and Irala (2014), Ferraz and Sasseron (2017) and Klein and Vosgerau (2018). However, the words have different meanings when considered in learning situations. Thus, they are concepts investigated in this article through qualitative research, using the concept analysis method, proposed by Walker and Avant (2011), with the support of an integrative review. This research aims to identify the definitions (also considering nuances) of the aforementioned terms used by researchers in the field of education. The integrative review, carried out in one of the steps of the concept analysis method, made it possible to raise different attributes that can be used for each of the terms analyzed here, in order to differentiate them, especially in pedagogical contexts. Furthermore, it was found that it is feasible to use both cooperation and collaboration at different levels of education; however, for the correct choice of the concept, the teacher who works in educational institutions must evaluate the most suitable methodology for the students of his class.
