Corporative learning is one of my favorites. The results are amazing!
Cooperative learning is an important part of teaching.
Group learning is a great additive to mix the dynamics up in the learning process
Most important concepts in cooperative learning are positive interdependence and individual accountability .
Group projects helps to become team players.
Transformative learning is a type of learning applicable to clinical setting where we connect theory to practice. It focuses on "how we know" rather than "what we know". Gaining new knowledge and skills for implementing new plans.
In this course and others I have seen references to "jigsaw" reading, so I looked it up. I liked the idea of students becoming experts at different parts of the text and then sharing it with classmates in a "speed dating" style format. I feel like this keeps students engaged while practicing communication skills.
Transformational learning involves a lengthy and complicated 10-step process.
I learned that effective communication and group engagement is vital for the success of transformative and collaborative learning.
