Collaboration Skills

The purpose of the ability to co-operate is for students to learn how to actively listen to each other and debate respectfully so as to ensure everyone feels they are members of the group. The teacher has a vital role in enabling the learning of social interaction skills and setting an example for effective communication. The teacher also should foster a culture of interaction in the classroom, school, as well as in wider learning environments. It is important to direct students to work and develop ideas together in a group, which also serves to improve their thinking skills
