Specifically, it was sought to compare the students' learning level before and after the application of Cooperative Learning techniques, to analyze the functionality of the application of simple techniques of cooperative learning and to understand if the applied techniques were sufficient for the learning of the content through the perception of students and teacher. To this end, a qualitative-quantitative research was carried out in a school unit in the municipality of Vila Nova do Piauí, through the application of questionnaires and observations to students after experimenting with two different techniques: cooperative activity in pairs and in groups. At the end of the data analysis and tabulation process, it was possible to verify the functionality of the application of CA techniques, thus leading to the understanding that there are pedagogical techniques of great value for the educational context, mainly for the improvement of the teaching-learning process of subjects considered difficult, as is the case of Chemistry
