The Problem...

The Collaboration Dilemma?

How can WE get people to really recognize the value of becoming part of a learning community and experience the benefits of social learning?

Group work isn’t often done collaboratively by students

Instead, students see education as competition or a one-man sport

What is the problem?

• teaching tradition
• lack of scafolding

• competitive culture
• difficulty in assessment
• time constraints
• student anxiety
• lack of appreciation of collaboration

There are many reasons:

WHY?

COLLABORATION IS NOT COMPETITION TEAM MEMBERS have a common shared goal to strive towards GROUP MEMBERS may have different objectives and may strive to complete their individual tasks

REDEFINE GROUP... ...AS TEAM

A SOLUtion

"This [the presented solution] is something that we, as tertiary educators, can implement. However, it really should be rolled out even at a primary education level since the earlier these skills can be developed, the more benefit the scholar/student will experience!"
