Man is a social animal. He has to live, adjust and learn in
groups. I strongly believe that he grabs more when he is doing something
together.
One of the Principle of Learning is “learning is
social.”Doing work in a group creates a sense of accomplishment. If the work is done individually and he is not
able to do it, he will give up. At the same time if the task is done group,
there will be a feeling of sharing, helping and doing.
Learning in group improves the ability to interact with each
other through discussion, collaboration and feedback. Every individual possess
different skills and potentials. Through interaction students combine their
views and ideas to achieve a creative and fruitful outcome.
In the context, I wanted my class to improve their writing
skills. When individual task was give to them. I noticed that they were
struggling and ultimately they found it no more interesting. Then I formed the
class into groups according to their capabilities. In the beginning, I gave
them easy topics of their interest. As the activity was given in groups, students
who were limited to share their views individually, begin to contribute their
ideas with their peers.
Initially they were struggling, but gradually as their
confidence and interest developed, writing turned into productive material. As
performing in groups made the task attainable, it also created confidence in
all.
This Principle of Learning really assist teacher to develop classroom
culture friendly, active and interesting.
