USING COLLABORATIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES AT SCHOOL

Abstract

This article investigates the use of collaborative learning strategies in school settings, focusing on their effectiveness in enhancing student engagement, academic performance, and intercultural understanding. Through the analysis of existing research and the design of a small-scale classroom study, the article explores how collaborative learning impacts students’ cognitive and social development. The findings indicate that such strategies not only improve subject comprehension but also promote empathy, communication skills, and mutual respect among culturally diverse learners. These outcomes highlight the importance of integrating structured collaboration into everyday teaching practice to support both academic and personal growth.
