collaborative learning
Learning with others
Collaborative learning is education that happens through group work rather than individual study.
Students share knowledge, discuss ideas, and solve problems together, with the premise that learning deepens through interaction: The course emphasizes collaborative learning over lectures.
The approach appears across settings from elementary classrooms to corporate training.
