A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Collaborative Learning and Individ

IntroductionGroup movement is a way to imprint classroom activity where students are given a class identification from the teacher and where the students level of participation depends on how they engage in the chemical group task (Chiriac & Frykedal, 2011). For example, if students work cooperatively or cooperatively, then students within the group will have an increased encyclopaedism retention and increased faultfinding thinking (Chiriac & Frykedal, 2011). Bennett and Dunne (1992), and Galton and Williamson explain that cooperative group work occurs when students divide the work load in a group and each individual completes a different part of the assignment. Consequently, cooperative reading may result with no interaction amongst students in the group. On the other hand, collaborative learning occurs when each individual member of a group works on the same task that is presented (as cited in Chiriac & Frykedal, 2011). The evidence on the effectiveness of collaborat ive group work is convincing, and is shown to positively affect the way students learn (Frey, Fisher, & Allen, 2009). Students employ collaborative learning learn to develop social skills and have opportunities to go to the group (What are the benefits, n.d.). Students enjoy working together and interaction between students may promote higher critical thinking and an increased learning retention (Chiriac & Frykedal, 2011). I will investigate the efficiency of using collaborative grouping compared to individual work with 6th and 8th grade students at Pine Mountain Middle School. The benchmark that will be use to measure efficiency will be how well the middle domesticate students perform with Solidworks, a 3D engineering program..Statement of the ProblemTeachers debat... ...ement in Sweden.
