The  very dictionary definition of collaboration will tell us what collaborative learning means. The word "collaboration" brings together the Latin "col-" meaning "with or together" with the Latin "labor" or toil.

In fact, I think Collaborative Learning consists on "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together". It is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task or create a product.

I believe Collaborative Learning is a vital component of 21st century classroom education. The 21st Century Competencies set goals and raise standards in a way that change the educational bar for students, requiring us, teachers, to push for higher skills, adjusting what and how we teach our kids.

Collaborative Learning encourages new ideas and challenges students to explore opinions, to discuss and share their thoughts, ideas and beliefs, to thoughtfully articulate - and finally, defend - them to small groups of diverse students. This practice leads students to start constructing their own ideas, beliefs and framework. Learners converse and exchange diverse beliefs and are actively engaged in the discovery process. The development of crucial critical thinking skills and a departure from group-think, are the desired outcomes.

Collaborative learning is a process which takes all students actively in the education process. To achieve this, we need to be taught some useful ways to to make active all the students in a lesson. This requires different techniques. As a teachers, we all should follow latest approaches where possible.

I do see Collaborative Learning as a very useful tool in class. When we have a big class, working in small groups does provide them the necessary room to engage in activities and develop skills that would not be acquired or put into test, such as interpersonal skills (specially for the shy ones); leadership (in a big class it´s nearly impossible to have so many leaders) etc. I think the main issue is when we have to follow the book and not students learning process.

As a non teacher I assume from what I've learned so far in Co-LAB that collaborative learning is a process where students learn through doing a task together, whererk is not divided, but everyone's input contributes to the result. As this is collaborative learning, and not just any kind of collaborative activity, it would require that students learn new knowledge or develop skills while collaborating.

Collaborative learning (CL) is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. The term CL refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. Five fundamental elements involved in CL, are: Positive interdependence, Individual and group accountability, Interpersonal and small group skills, Face-to- face promotive interaction, and Group processing.

In my experience of implementing collaborative learning in the classroom, I've witnessed being enhanced academic achievement, student attitudes, engagement and retention. I've have witnessed my students develop these as a result of collaborative learning

• Self-evaluation

• Listening skills

• Team working skills

# data[].attributes.body
What I understand from collaborative learning is to get the hold of actions altogether.  The more hands grabs the pace of activities the more control and sharing we have. Besides, it fosters flexibility and responsiblity among the members of acquisition process.

Collaborative learning is working together towards a common goal. I really believe collaborative learning leads to more responsible, more engaged and more autonomous learners. Regarding the skills mentioned in the video, I've already witnessed my students develop them: for example, they learnt to negotiate, to give and receive feedback, to make decisions, to listen to each other.

Collaborative learning is learning together. The role of the teacher must be to guide the activities.
The students work together to discuss an issue, solve a problem and create a product.

The responsibilities when they work are interdependent, shared, and make decisions together when they must resolve important issues.

I think that collaborative learning refers to the fact that the student and the teacher are actively involved in the process of teaching/learning.

I think collaborative learning is more effective than cooperative learning, as students, when operating together have to develop more their competences in terms of mediation and sharing. In my experience I noticed that when they all participate to achieve the same goal, they feel more at ease and are free to show their personal attitudes

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborative learning requires that all members of the group share the common task of coming up with ideas or solutions to address a problem, or produce or enhance a product, whereby every member can assume different roles in the group so long as every one pools their efforts together regardless of how long the process might take or how frustrating the discussion might turn into.

Collaborative learning is not only working together on a topic but it means to share competences, ideas, abilities and knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The main purpose of the collaborative activity is to get students to share goals and learn together, to overcome challenges and build knowledge.
Collaborative learning can both involve students, stimulate dialogue and joint construction, and enable problem solving.
In the global society in which we live this is a fundamental competence, especially in the world of work. Knowing how to work in groups, knowing how to relate and cooperate with people, knowing how to negotiate, knowing how to be tolerant and understanding, being nice, educated and kind is fundamental.
Group activities make learning more fun, enable learning with others, facilitate information exchange, and allow one student to correct the mistake of another.
The advantages of collaborative work are not only related to learning, but also to the development of social skills, since group work advocates respect for differences, the ability to know how to listen to others and negotiation, as they are intrinsic to interaction social.

I think coolaborative learning means working together for the same purpose, organising the group to bring information for the resolution of the project/problem. Every student brings his knowledge and the group take decisions together. It's not "pasting" works but constructing it together.

Collaborative learning means working together as teachers and make students work together to lead a  project to its end. Both students and teachers learn from one another. As an English teacher with science teachers we made a class build a greenhouse from plastic bottles in the school garden. They had to design their greenhouse, vote to elect the plan they liked best, calculate, work on videos to see how to do it and them build it. It was a brilliant work and now we can grow vegetables!

# data[].attributes.body
In my experience I've already witnessed the benefits of collaborative learning.

It's clear for me now that a project that manages to involve students in each step of the way is also a step closer to be successful.
Students do appreciate to play a genuine role in idea-gathering, in opinion-sharing, in decision-making, in responsability-taking phases of school activities.
...And, even if I haven't got any relevant exeperience in CL, I believe it's really true students do achieve higher goals and change deeper their attitudes, through this highly engaging  working method.

Clara Gulino, ItalyWHAT IS COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
I’ve tried to introduce collaborative learning many times within my class, but the main problem I’ve had to face was the space in the room, because classrooms are too small. Actually when I have lessons in bigger classroom and I can have the possibility to let students work in groups they can easily move and they enjoy it. I can easily find out that some students are lazier or shier than others but I think this kind of work allows students to better know to each other and to appreciate some aspect in the others’ they otherwise could not get to know.
I consider collaborative Learning the best method in the process Teaching-learning-evaluating

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion collaborative learning means that everybody learns from one another. You have to work in groups to complete an activity or project.
The groups has to work intensively together to succeed.
Collaborative means: making brainstorms and sharing ideas,  searching for information,  discussing and interacting. Teachers are there to support, to guide and help, without giving the right solutions.
To me, it's also important to evaluate the working process and not only the final product.
It's learning by interaction !

I've seldom used collaborative work, I usually use cooperative work. In my point of view, collaborative work means that the elements of a group work together to solve obstacles in order to achieve a goal.

I think the biggest difficulty in the process of collaborative learning is “creating and managing meaningful learning experiences”; we must be creative and understanding of what young people care about.

Collaborative learning, in the way UNESCO uses the word, is a method to teach collaborative skills and it is somehow descending from Vigotskj's concept of "learning from others". It is nowadays often associated to ICT collaborative learning. Positive interdipendence, individual accountability, etc. are Cooperative Learning principles, which is a well known methodology, always successful! It is based on the assumption that social competences and cognitive ones go together.

That's what collaborative learning for me: I think, that to be responsible for reaching their goal together makes the students work hard and it makes them aware how important is good teamwork.

I believe that cooperative learning is a way to promote:

- il improvement of interpersonal relationships among students,
regardless of the differences due to the  capabilities and characteristics of each;
- the respect and recognition of each one as a competent person;

- a greater awareness of the views and the different points of view;
- creative thinking, because it facilitates communication and sharing many ideas;

-  the success of all students in the group, so that.

The teacher should allow their students to become independent, autonomous, collaborative and responsible students.
Whenever my students work in collaborative learning they acquire the best worked concepts and can apply them more easily in new situations. Students commit to 100% on completion of the work and all work for the final product, meaning to be useful in school.

I think the border between putting students work together and cooperative learning is big but can easily misunderstood. the process and the teacher's attitude is different and consequently the students' attitudes and the final result.

Collaborative learning means that two or more people work together to learn something. Actually, in educational context, it means that learners work together in small groups towards a common learning goal. As far as my personal experience of collaborative learning, I have witnessed academic achievement, student attitudes, engagement and retention being enhanced as a results of colaborative learning. I have also noticed that most students develop the vast majority of the skills mentioned in the video. Of course, the development of each skill depends on the details and the educational scenario of the project they work on.

Collaborative learning is a method of learning that is based on group work, aiming to develop the participation and autonomy of students where they share knowledge, opinions and help each other, ie, group the students have to find solutions to resolve a particular issue / topic.

Collaborative learning is using teamwork to achieve goals for all members of the group. From my experience of using it in the classroom it improves students enthusiasm and engagement as generally students need to take a more active part in their own learning.

Collaboration happens when two or more persons share a common goal. Collaborative learning happens when learners have articulated their shared goal and agreed on a roadmap towards it.
I use collaborative learning sparingly since it is very demanding and can be time-consuming. It takes a lot of practice and requires good social skills. At its best, it produces amazing results and enables student-initiated action and inquiry.

In my opinion Collaborative learning is based on a joint cooperation skills, as a result of which we achieve the goal. Common effective cooperation should be characterized by the ability to work in groups, mutual respect, listening to the other person. For years, I use classes in groups and are very useful in the context of teaching. Students willing to work together and gives them a lot of satisfaction.

Collaborative learning is one of the best strategies to support students in developing their competences not only related to school subjects but also to interpersonal relationship. As teachers we should reflect on all the positive aspect that collaborative learning can gain asking students to cooperate and collaborate together for a common aim.

In my opinion, collaborative learning is more effective because it develops such skills as responsibility, leadership, self-assessment, presentation skills, communication skills, and so much more... To sum up, this method improves learning not only in a specific subject/theme, but above all, it helps to develop some skills that students will need in their future lives. I've already witnessed some students to improve their learning and change their behaviour at school only because they are working in groups. They feel that they are useful and they can help their group to achieve its goal.

What is important in collaborative learning is that students have to work in small groups in which all of them tackle the problem together. They have to get clearly defined tasks and work with real-world problems. Teacher have to be a facilitator who supports student's activity.
