Collaborative Learning

The role of today’s educators is that of facilitators and less of expert transmitters of knowledge. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to provide a stimulating intellectual experience for the students as collaborative learning (CL) is an emergent educational approach to teach a group of students working in pairs or small groups to discuss concepts or find solutions to problems. Research shows that collaborative learning is an active, engaging, and constructive process which actually leads to effective learning. Collaborative learning activities immerse students in challenging tasks or questions. It also increases student retention and promotion of student-teacher interaction and develops in students higher order reasoning and problem-solving skills. So, if you are a teacher you must include collaborative learning in your classes for efficacious learning outcomes. Join our webinar to know some collaborative learning strategies.
