    5 Steps to Prepare for

    Collaborative Learning
    • 1. Plan
    Obviously you want to have goals and objectives for the academic task at hand, but there’s
    another element of planning that needs to happen with collaborative learning. You also
    need to consider objectives for social skills, such as team work or peer accountability. Other
    things to think about include group size and composition. Think about how long your
    groups will be formed and how many students will make up each group. (See this post for
    more information on types of groups.) Will you have a group leader? Will all the work be
    evenly distributed? Plan for all of these elements beforehand. You also need to consider
    which types of assessment are most appropriate for the assignment and how the students
    will help with that aspect.
    • 2. Introduce
    Clearly communicating your goals and objectives to your students is vital. You will need to
    explain criteria for the academic task, as well as behavioral expectations for working with
    peers. Time limits, accountability, and decision making within the group all need to be
    discussed before the project even starts. It may be helpful to develop an assessment rubric
    and go over it with your students so they know exactly what to expect. Allow time for
    questions from your students to ensure that everything is clearly understood. This step is
    very important, for if your students do not know what is expected of them academically
    and behaviorally, their cooperative learning experience may not be successful.
    3. Monitor
    Once students have begun to work in their groups, it is your job to
    monitor and observe. You should be available to answer questions
    and provide clarification as needed but you should also be spending
    some amount of time in each group listening and monitoring.
    Observe how the students are working together and ask questions to
    stimulate thinking if necessary. Make notes about each group to
    assist you in the assessment step.
    4. Assess
    With cooperative learning, assessment can be tricky at times. You
    want to hold both individuals and the group accountable for the
    academic work and possibly even the social objectives. Using a
    mixture of self assessment, group assessment and your own
    judgement usually works well to determine a final grade.
    • 5. Process
    Allow time for your students to reflect upon their cooperative learning
    experience and give feedback on the academic assignment and the
    group structure. Hear what worked well and look for ways to improve
    upon next time.
    Steps of Teaching in Constructivist
    Way
    • For every concept introduced there should be multiple ways of
    demonstrating the learning to the students
    • The classroom environment should be democratic, providing each
    student an opportunity to participate in the discussion.
    • Aids like colorfully illustrated children’s dictionaries, student –Created
    serial post cards, visual responses to poetry and an abundance of
    student work should be encouraged and displayed throughout the
    classroom
    How Constructivism is applied in the
    Classroom
    • Provide scaffolding to extend student’s Zone of Proximal Development
    • Involve students in activities which engage the mind as well as the hands.
    • The zone of proximal development refers to the difference between what
    a learner can do without help and what he or she can achieve with
    guidance and encouragement from a skilled partner.
    • Thus, the term “proximal” refers to those skills that the learner is “close”
    to mastering.
    • Have students work in groups often
    • Initiate group discussions and debates allowing students to share their
    own thoughts and opinions
