Gokhale The concept of collaborative learning, the grouping and pairing of students for the purpose of achieving an academic goal, has been widely researched and advocated throughout the professional literature. The term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction method in which students at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal.
The students are responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one student helps other students to be successful. Proponents of collaborative learning claim that the active exchange of ideas within small groups not only increases interest among the participants but also promotes critical thinking. According to Johnson and Johnson (1986), there is persuasive evidence that cooperative teams achieve at higher levels of thought and retain information longer than students who work quietly as individuals.
Nico Wiersema analysis of Collaborative learning. Cscl-2003-cfs-sp. Oral Interaction. Social networks, communication styles, and learning performance in a CSCL community. The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the relationships between communication styles, social networks, and learning performance in a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) community. Using social network analysis (SNA) and longitudinal survey data, we analyzed how 31 distributed learners developed collaborative learning social networks, when they had work together on the design of aerospace systems using online collaboration tools. The results showed that both individual and structural factors (i.e., communication styles and a pre-existing friendship network) significantly affected the way the learners developed collaborative learning social networks.
More specifically, learners who possessed high willingness to communicate (WTC) or occupied initially peripheral network positions were more likely to explore new network linkages. Detailed 'summary' of teh benefits of Cooperative-Collaborative Learning. The Case For Student Centered Instruction Via Collaborative Learning Paradigms This section is divided into two parts. The first section organizes the benefits into categories such as, academic benefits, social, psychological, etc. The second section simply lists each of the benefits without regard to any ordering.
An outline of the benefits is provided prior to the extended descriptions. Academic benefits- CL Promotes critical thinking skills Involves students actively in the learning process ClPROMOTES A LEARNING GOAL RATHER THAN A PERFORMANCE GOAL. Classroom results are improved Cl PROMOTES A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD THE SUBJECT MATTER Models appropriate student problem solving techniques Cl FOSTERS MODELLING OF PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES BY STUDENTS' PEERS CL ALLOWS ASSIGNMENT OF MORE CHALLENGING TASKS WITHOUT MAKING THE WORKLOAD UNREASONABLE.

Defining Collaborative learning Dillenbourg-Pierre-1999. Coop/collab definition. By Ted Panitz I have been searching for many years for the Holy Grail of interactive learning, a distinction between collaborative and cooperative learning definitions. I am getting closer to my elusive goal all the time. I believe confusion arises when people look at processes associated with each concept and see a certain amount of overlap or inter-concept usage. I will clarify the definitions of collaborative and cooperative learning first by presenting my definitions of the two terms and reviewing those of other authors who have helped clarify my thinking and second by presenting and analyzing the educational benefits of collaborative/cooperative learning techniques.
The underlying premise for collaborative and cooperative learning is founded in constructivist epistemology. Johnson, Johnson & Smith (1991) have summarized these principles in their definition of a new paradigm of teaching. " First, knowledge is constructed, discovered, and transformed by students. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The benefits of Collaborative pedagogy Moore-Howard_Collaborative-Pedagogy.
