COLLABORATIVE LEARNING (BERZERO)

The school system as we know it invites students to work together in some projects or tasks but that process rarely goes beyond the mere division of activities between the members of the group just to be able to hand in the assignments on time. Moreover, the individuals that are a part of the group almost never share their knowledge with their partners, that is to say, no one benefits from the exchange as it is not a real collaborative work.  The purpose of this work is to show that teachers can improve their teaching methods and enhance the students’ learning experience if they start applying innovative strategies like Collaborative Learning, Project-Based Learning together with different instruments of assessment which will prepare students for the challenges they will have living in the 21st century.
