Collaborative Learning

Students who collaborate can develop a synergy among themselves which supports their learning, helping them to learn more, more quickly, and more lastingly. Another practical idea for teacher is having the cooperative group work so that able to provide students a chance to exchange ideas. Cooperative groups provide students a chance to exchange ideas, to ask questions freely, to explain to one another, to clarify ideas in meaningful ways and to express feelings about their learning (Furner & Berman, 2002). These skills acquired at an early age will be greatly beneficial throughout their adult working life.
