Tools for Teaching - Collaborative Learning: Group Work and Study Teams
By Barbara Gross Davis - Students learn best when they are actively involved in the process. Researchers report that, regardless of the subject matter, students working in small groups tend to learn more of what is taught and retain it longer than when the same content is presented in other instructional formats. Students who work in collaborative groups also appear more satisfied with their classes.
