Collaborative Learning

Definition of Collaborative Learning

Collaborative Learning occurs when two or more students actively contribute to the attainment of a mutual learning goal and try to share the effort required to reach this goal, either face-to- face or supported by a computer.[1]

Aims of Collaborative Learning

Collaborative Learning aims to facilitate that procedure by increasing our ability to collectively process novel information.[2]

Impact of Collaborative Learning

Collaborative Learning results in group members trying to successfully perform a certain learning task or solve a specific problem together, in the long run, as an instructional method, it is very important that all members of the group develop effective experience working together (i.e., domain-generalised group knowledge, [3] that facilitates every member in acquiring domain-specific knowledge from this combined effort. The use of Collaborative Learning has implications for extraneous cognitive load. 

How does Collaborative Learning Work?

Collaborative Learning makes use of the borrowing and re-organizing principle and is one of the justifications for hypothesizing that collaboration can be effective for learning. During collaborative learning, some information comes from collaborators rather than other sources and that information is likely to become available exactly when it is needed resulting in a decreased load and increased learning.[4].

Collective Working Memory

By having multiple working memories working together on the same task, the effective capacity of the multiple working memories may be increased due to a collective working memory effect.[5] Collaborative learning aims to facilitate that procedure by increasing our ability to collectively process novel information [6].
