Why cooperation is sometimes so difficult and yet can increase learning success

Have you also experienced that learning in a group is sometimes easy and fun and sometimes feels like an uphill struggle with no satisfying outcome?

This blog post explores the conditions that make collaborative learning work well at times and create frustration at others. Where is the turning point when learners are motivated to participate despite initial resistance because they realise that they can take away more from this kind of learning than from a full-frontal lecture?

The current #dimi is about what collaborative learning is and how it can contribute to the development of competences. The next #dimi will then take a closer look at the conditions that make collaborative learning difficult or easier.

#mm: Methods with distance – Part 2

Lineups with avatars

Constellations are an extremely popular method that many trainers like to use often – so often that they even made it into our series „Annoying Methods“.
