Collaborative group work is important for enhancing pupil participation. Which of the following are key features of effective group work discussions? I. Pupils asking question II. Pupils actively and persistently seeking help from peers Correct Answer Both I and II

Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task where each individual finds out and is accountable to each other. This method allows face-to-face conversation and discussions using the computers also (like online forums, chat rooms etc.). Methods for examining collaborative learning processes hence include conversation analysis and statistical discourse analysis. Collaborative group work is important for enhancing pupil participation. The key features of effective group work discussions include pupils: 

  • asking questions
  • actively and persistently seeking help from peers
  • providing help that is detailed
  • checking that the help given is understood by the recipient.
