The educational approach of using groups
to enhance learning through working
together. Groups of two or more learners
work together to solve problems, complete
tasks, or learn new concepts.
This approach actively engages learners to
process and synthesize information and
concepts, rather than using rote
memorization of facts and figures.

Collaborative
Learning
Group Dynamics
• students work in groups
of two or more
Interaction
• Group members rely on
one another to achieve
their shared goal.
Interdependence
• interact with one another to
share ideas, challenge
perspectives, provide
explanations, and negotiate
meanings
Shared
Responsibility
• Every student is responsible
for their learning and the
learning of their peers
Feedback
• give and receive feedback
• allowing them to reflect on

Benefits of Collaborative Learning
School of Education
Collaborative
Learning
• Promotes Higher-
Level Thinking
Collaboration often requires
students to analyze,
synthesize, and evaluate
information collectively
Builds Self-Esteem
• Success in group
tasks can boost
individual confidence.
Enhances Student
Satisfaction
• Many students find working
with peers more engaging and
fulfilling than working alone
Develops Social
Skills
• Students improve their
communication, conflict
resolution, and interpersonal
skills
Prepares for Real-
Life Challenges
• The real world often requires
collaborative problem-solving,
so practicing these skills in an
academic setting is beneficial
