How do you help your students learn from each other?

I personally love to use what comes out as the teaching tool itself, i would give them the instruction to come up with an organization model to achieve the objectives as a team, what obstacles they found in the process and how they solved them, what they did with their own confusion and conflict is the valuable learning here… specially if what you want is for them to learn how to interact in this type of situations. Life is about oposites, and critical thinking…

Students can learn from each through working in teams and groups and enhancing their communications and coordinated efforts 👌 They can carry out tasks altogether in a group which increases their level of understanding of the concepts being considered.

It is important to create a classroom where everyone feels safe to share ideas and respect each other. When giving assignments give clear directions, expectations, and outcomes. I like to give a rubric so students understand what steps are involved. During group work, it is important that each member of the group understands their part and is held accountable with a check list. When assigning peer tutors or peer math or reading groups, assignments should be clear and all materials should be made available. I find groups need to be monitored so students stay on task. Working in groups can enhance learning and help kids learn important social skills.

Rich content is being achieved through active participation and discussion. A thriving working climate can be provided to the students where they can be given a business model. They can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the business together and in what ways they can devise strategies to boost the growth of the business model under consideration.

In order to optimize group work, groups should be formed in advance. Clear rules should be established about respecting each other’s work and participation. Students should feel safe to comment, question, and make mistakes. The teacher should be available to answer questions or guide the group if needed. It is important that students feel their opinions matter and are expected. Students should be taught empathy and be encouraged to help each other. I find creating a safe classroom with a clear expectations and respect for everyone sets the tone for collaboration and learning.

I teach Textiles so it's easy to show students each others' work, and compliment it and talk about which techniques they used. I also take pictures and hang it on the wall for other classes to see. I encourage students to work in pairs and share ideas. In the real world people work as part of teams and I encourage that in the classroom too. We do group projects in which each student creates one letter of what will eventually be a quote on the wall, with certain features uniform and others creativity based. I allow students to walk around the room and see what each other are doing so they can get good ideas and if they are stuck I encourage them to ask each other favours, like threading needles. In this way they see each other's humanity.

For more understanding and collaboration of the students together, students can use Skype and Google to discuss case studies in groups. pairs can also be made, where each partner can elaboratively discuss the main points of the concept with the rest of the class fellows These concepts can also be delivered via PowerPoint Google Slides and sticky notes.

A Mentor can intelligently interact with all the students in the class. Open communication and coordinated efforts are a must. - A mentor can answer and guide all the concepts which can be a little unclear to the students. Also, a mentor can monitor the concept clarity of the students and guide students where any kind of deviation occurs.

For my students and their thriving climate, I give the students assignments where they solve questions. Increasing their understanding of the concepts and memory as well Also, I ask them to deliver presentations on the assigned topics Also ask them to create business projects and to find market opportunities in their business proposals. This way their mind starts to engage in the relevant topics of the course. Which increases their practical experience too.

It is great to enhance problem solving by giving groups of students activities that require the group to think out the box and be creative. If you establish ground rules to encourage all ideas and work together for the common outcome, it is fun to watch collaboration and creativity in motion. This type of group work encourages all learners to have fun and participate. This works very well for STEM projects also. Kids are engaged, having fun, participating, and being part of the group.
