Method of this study was quasi-experimental. The statistics population was third girl students in Isfahan high school in schooling year 2008– 2009. Sample volume was 68 which 30 person in experimental group and 38 person in control group. Sampling method was simple random. Cooperative learning was used in experimental group and was done common teaching in classrooms, compilation of short lecture and question & answer method, in control group. The study instruments was inclusive of text and made-researcher achievement tests whose validity and reliability had been confirmed before implementation by relative experts. The reliability tests was determined with implementation in sample group and then with using of split-halves method. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics (including mean and SD) and by inferential statistics (as χ2 and independent t-test). The results indicated difference mean of pre-tests and post-tests within control group (P £ 0.05) that teaching with compilation of short lecture and question & answer method has been more than experimental group .
