Moreover, it was concerned with the implementation of 1 to 5 cooperative group learning tasks expected from students, teachers, and school principals for effectiveness of the program. Factors hindering effectiveness in implementation of 1 to 5 study program were examined. Three schools randomly were selected from the seven government secondary schools found in the sub city. 228 respondents chosen from these sample schools (180 students, and 45 teachers, and 3 principals) took part in the study. While the students and teachers were randomly, selected principals were purposively chosen due to their position and intimacy to manage and facilitate the overall activities in 1 to 5 cooperative group learning. Both quantitative (survey questionnaire) and qualitative data techniques (interviews)and quantitative and qualitative data were collected to attain the objectives The quantitative data were tabulated and presented in percentages, mean, and average mean of teacher and student respondent groups. The qualitative data were presented to complement the quantitative data. The findings indicate that teachers and students do not have favorable attitudes towards implementation of 1 to 5 cooperative group study program. However, it is viewed as moderately important. The study, however, indicated that there is a consensus among respondents that 1 to 5 cooperative group learning is poorly implemented. Unwillingness of teachers and students, poor coordination and large group size, and uncomfortable seating arrangements were mentioned factors highly influencing the effectiveness of the program. Moreover, understanding and training gaps, and lack of principals attention and reluctance of teachers to give feedback on time moderately affect its implementations. The overall recommendation of the study is that the government should give high emphasis and use ultimate efforts to shape the attitude of stakeholders towards 1 to 5 cooperative group study (learning) program.
