Why Collaborative Learning Is Important?

There’s a reason that the NSW BOSTES Syllabus specifically sets “communicates with peers and known adults in informal and guided activities demonstrating emerging skills of group interaction” as the topmost outcome. The findings of Vygotsky and many other renowned scholars has found that communication is a key facet to learning. In a student’s beginning years it acts as a way of learning and expressing basic ideas (wants/needs) and in later years these thoughts culminate into the critical essays that are marked for the HSC. Group work is utilised as a method for learning at all levels in instructive frameworks. It helps students to learn teamwork (essential to life and future careers), to learn to create more intricate ideas and to learn how to express themselves. However, the size of a group is also important. Too big and the group becomes prone to ‘groupthink’, which is the inverse of the desired outcome. https://k12.com.au/why-collaborative-learning-is-important/
