12. Collaboration

Good teaching and learning encourages collaboration

The ability to function effectively as a member of a team is one of the key skills regularly cited by employers as essential in the modern workplace and is an important feature of the Review’s proposals. Cooperative learning is also important in its own right. Hattie’s research is unequivocal in concluding that, ‘…cooperative learning is effective’. He cites a range of research evidence that highlights the positive effects of peer learning on motivation, problem solving and achievement. In this context, feedback from peers is particularly powerful and good planning and teaching will create structured contexts for that to take place constructively.

Pupils lead their own learning experience | EstynCo-operative learning is central to the philosophy at Broughton Primary School. Pupils and teachers at the school enjoy an excellent working relationship. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions, share their ideas, and think about what activities within the given topic they want to explore. Teachers use this information to complement their planning and provision. By taking ownership of their learning, pupils feel valued and develop their independent thinking skills.
