Collaborative
Learning
Collaborative learning takes place when students
cooperate to construct a consensus to an open-ended activity.
Collaborative learning shares many
of the same traits as cooperative learning.
It differs from cooperative learning by being
more student centred than teacher centred. Collaborative learning provides
a vehicle for social constructivism, where students are in control of their
own learning and ultimately, the outcome of their learning. Cooperative
learning is more concerned with a specific outcome based on teacher
facilitation and knowledge transmition (Panitz, 1996)
Collaborative learning is best suited
to an arrangement of groups, where students can
freely interact with each other and construct their ideas together.
"...Thought development
is determined by language, i.e. by the linguistic tools of thought and
by the sociocultural experience of the child."-Vygotsky
