Collaborative Learning is a relationship among learners that requires positive interdependence (a sense of sink or swim together), individual accountability (each of us has to contribute and learn), interpersonal skills (communication, trust, leadership, decision making, and conflict resolution), face-to-face promotive interaction, and processing (reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better).

Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

Definitions of group work and collaborative learning abound, and they are not exclusive of each other. One of the most useful explanations I have found of collaborative learning comes from Smith and MacGregor (1992): “Activities may differ considerably, but focus on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.” Group work is often described as a good way to improve productivity by delegating tasks. However, this gives rise to what I refer to as the “divide and conquer” mentality (students who complete only a portion of the workload and then share answers with their group). Group work is also reported to be a way to incorporate different perspectives, experiences, knowledge, and skill sets, but in my experience, the same could be said for collaborative learning.

Collaborative learning= Cooperative arrangement in which learners of different abilities and interests work jointly in small groups to complete a project or solve a problem.
Cooperative learning refers to small, group-based instruction in which students work together to achieve a learning goal. This is utilized at virtually every school, at every grade level, around the world. There are reasons to this, which we'll cover in the Supporting Theory section, but for now just understand that it is an extremely common and effective pedagogical tool. (study.com)

Cooperative Learning is a teaching method that favors the use of group work, thus promoting the acquisition of social skills, which in turn facilitate learning through interaction among students. It is a method of teaching that privileges interaction and interdependence between students, the focus of attention is directed to the mutual aid. The students work as a team in order to achieve the objectives proposed, however, for this to happen it is necessary that all the members of the group can achieve them.
In order for cooperative learning to be possible, five basic elements are needed: positive interdependence, individual responsibility, promotion of interaction, social skills and the mode of group functioning.

Collaboration is a learned process. If managed correctly, it is a powerful tool that can allow educators to tap into new ideas and information; it allows for challenge and differentiation, enhanced confidence and self-esteem as well as strengthening social skills – a critical skill for life.

Cooperative Learning is a student-centered instructional approach that employs various educational tactics and strategies that relate to the different ways students think and learn. Tactics are considered simple and lack a research base, such as a think-pair-share activity, while strategies, such as a jigsaw activity, are more complex, as they are designed around research that relates to a learning theory.

Collaborative learning

Students progress personally, while collectively working towards a common goal. Students are accountable to one another and, with appropriate direction, will self-manage this. Pupils learn to better understand and anticipate difference, recognise it in themselves and others, and use it to their advantage.

A typical collaborative learning process:

· Students organise their efforts between themselves (group-structured)

· Students source material to help them complete the activity

· The activity is not monitored by the teacher (although they can help when assistance is requested by the group)

· Students assess their own individual and group performance

· Success depends on individual strengths

Find out more about collaborative learning as a pedagogical model for primary schools

Cooperative learning

Like the cast and crew of a theatre production, co-operation involves interdependence. Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined but are open for negotiation. This method of collaboration brings with it a strong sense of accountability.

In contrast to collaborative learning, a cooperative learning structure takes the following form:

· Activities are structured with each student assigned a specific role (teacher-structured)

· Teachers supply information for students to read and analyse (or let pupils know where this info can be found)

· Teachers observe, listen and intervene where necessary

· Students submit work at the end of lesson for evaluation/assessment

· The success of the group depends upon the efforts of everyone involved

The benefits of cooperative and collaborative learning

The majority of students learn best when they are immersed in learning, through interaction and application. A student is more likely to remember something discovered through active participation and peer work than through the passive acceptance of information presented by the teacher.

As well as making learning more memorable, with collaborative and cooperative learning:

· Students come to recognise, understand and respect cultural differences and different perspectives

· Performance is improved. With collaborative/cooperative methods much more valuable than individualistic ways of building student performance and progression

· Group work helps students who have difficulty with social skills. Providing a safe and structured space to interact with others

· Confidence is emboldened, with students able to recognise and value the importance of their contributions

· Inclusivity is encouraged. There is no such thing as an average child, and collaborative/cooperative methods allow each child to work to their strengths.

“All collaborative learning is done in a group (of at least two people), but not all group work is inherently collaborative! The trick is to structure the activity in a way that makes students work together to be successful.” (Jane A. Scheuermann)

"I found that when students were placed in groups, they didn’t necessarily work together. What I discovered was that the activities needed to be structured collaboratively to promote learning."
"A major difference between group work and collaborative learning is accountability. I do not give group grades. Activities are used to teach the competencies of the course, and students assume responsibility for their learning, and they earn their own grades based on their performances on an assessment of the competencies. The key is to structure the activities collaboratively so that learners are mutually dependent on each other yet are held individually accountable. This eliminates the free-riders (students who try to coast based on the group’s performance). " (Jane A. Scheuermann)

“Divide and Conquer” mentality

It's difficult to add something different from what has already been said here. I would only stress the idea that learning between pairs is more successful than learning from an older person. I stress also the value of inclusion. Working in a collaborative way making everyone responsible for the process and the "product" gives more chances to everyone to use his best skills. The difference wan't be an obstacle to participate - I'm thinking of SEN studants.

The definitions provided in the video capture the fundamental aspects of collaborative learning. If we really need to define collaborative learning, we must look at the social aspects of negotiation and problem solving in a shared way. This is what a team does and that differentiates team work from working together.
From the point of view of my experience (middle grade secondary school) I would say that working respecting the roles and individual responsibility in the group, certainly leads to great harmony in the classroom and improved relationships between students and between students and students.
So to add definitions to those dates I would say that collaborative learning is improvement of relationships, mutual listening, and inclusion as everyone has a role in the group and even those who have a problem carry on their work responsibly and to the best of its ability

“Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together (B.T. Smith - J.T. MacGregor). According to this definition learning is an active, constructive process that depends on a rich context, in which learners are diverse. It's based on involvement, collaboration and teamwork and civic responsability. And it's centred on the fact that students are accountable to one another and self-manage the learning process. On the other hand in cooperative learning instructions are supplied by teachers and the success of the group depends upon the efforts of everyone involved.

I think the video addresses the most important aspects of collaborative learning. Crucial aspects are the role of active listening and re-adapting own or group strategies in order to achieve a tangible result. Active listening and consensus are the key to developing a critical and constructive approach to assessment of the own and the work of the others.Affective and emotional collaboration are also important for a better approach to personalised learning.In the small group students can learn to develop a positive attitude to achieving common learning goals if these are related to the achievement of a concrete common result

Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work

together to maximize their own and each others' learning (Johnson, Johnson & Smith, 1991).

Cooperative Learning is an extremely successful teaching strategy in which small teams of students (usually teams of 4) work together towards a learning goal. They may also be working with partners or the whole class.Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it.

(Gerlach, 1994)
"Cooperative learning is a form of active learning where students work together to perform specific tasks in a small group." (Beth Lewis 2017)

Lídia Sousa, Portugal

lidiamsantossousa — 2019-02-04 17:29:42 UTC

After having watched the video in 3.1 and done some further research in order to find 2 more definitions, as requested, I would say that collaborative learning involves the "interdependent" and coordinated action of two or more students towards problem-solving, task completion or even the process of creation of a product. This, of course, involves planning, monitoring, reshaping or readapatation of the previously approved plan, continuous assessment of the work. To reach actual collaboration learners need to exchange feedback, share responsabilities, make decisions and reach consensus, as Professor Deirdre Butler so clearly put it. I would dare to add flexibility to the whole process.
I came across several definitions and respective developments on the www.
I chose two rather distinctive ones to complete this task:

A) a rather exhaustive one by Smith and MacGregor, which despite going back to 1992, undeniably brings us hints for reflection.
" There are many approaches to collaborative learning. A set of assumptions about the learning process (Smith and MacGregor, 1992) underlies them all:

1. Learning is an active process whereby students assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.

2. Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.

3. Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.

4. Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.

5. In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.

Collaborative learning processes can be incorporated into a typical 50-minute class in a variety of ways. Some require a thorough preparation, such as a long-term project, while others require less preparation, such as posing a question during lecture and asking students to discuss their ideas with their neighbors (see concept tests). As Smith and MacGregor state, "In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students' discussion and active work with the course material." Regardless of the specific approach taken or how much of the ubiquitous lecture-based course is replaced, the goal is the same: to shift learning from a teacher-centered to a student-centered model."

B) a concise, yet thorough one that I came across with no explicitly mentioned author, but far more recent than definition A (see above)
" Collaborative Learning is a relationship among learners that requires positive interdependence (a sense of sink or swim together), individual accountability (each of us has to contribute and learn), interpersonal skills (communication, trust, leadership, decision making, and conflict resolution), face-to-face promotive interaction, and processing (reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better)."

For Brockbank and McGill (2007), collaborative learning involves interactivity at student level, valorizing self-understanding and self-affirmation, demanding reflection and affirmation of their points of view through different ways of organizing and teaching methods.

For Johnson and Johnson (1999), collaborative learning involves developing solutions to problems by identifying more alternatives and improving the quality of student relationships that include variables such as interpersonal attraction, ties, cohesion, team spirit, and social support.

Angelo, Rivoli, Italy

Angelo — 2019-02-04 17:39:34 UTC

3.1. Describing cooperative and collaborative learning as complementary understates some important differences between the two.

Cooperative learning will be defined as students working together in a group small enough that everyone can participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned (Cohen 1994).
Cooperative learning procedures are designed to engage students actively in the learning process through inquiry and discussion with their peers in small groups. The group work is carefully organized and structured so as to promote the participation and learning of all group members in a cooperatively shared undertaking. Cooperative learning is more than just tossing students into a group and telling them to talk together
Thus, unlike in cooperative learning, where the focus is on working together, or interdependence, in collaborative learning, the focus is on working with each other (but not necessarily interdependently) toward the same goal.

This does not oppose individual work, since it can be seen as a complementary learning strategy that strengthens the overall development of the learner" (Collazo, Guerrero and Vergara, 2001).

Communication, negotiation and echange towards a plan to address the problem, coordinated action to carry out the plan, monitoring of the progress and if necessary also the addaption of the strategy. Students share responcibility, listenning, making decitions and concensus. The approach is closely related to cooperative learning.

They wrote the most crucial problem in their area. The other countries' students read the statements and they did their best to solve these problems. It was a chain drill activity.

I agree with https://learningpowerkids.com/collaborative-learning/
Teaching children how to collaborate, and creating a variety of learning experiences which enable them to collaborate, is not only an excellent way to develop a dynamic and fluid classroom, but it also builds confidence in children as learners. I have found this empowering for children on two levels:
1)They learn that collaboration is a useful learning tool (as it is also in real life),
2)They are able to clarify, build on and develop learning by discussing ideas with their friends.

Promoting group learning is very important and should be a priority for today's teacher, who is more than ever a mediator between students and access to knowledge, and who must keep in mind the perspective that "educating is to collaborate so that teachers and students - in schools and organizations - transform their lives into permanent processes of learning " (Moran, 2001)

Hacer, TURKEYCollaborative learning refers to an educational approach that focuses on the co –operation of participants; to conduct a task or carry out project. It largely means ‘’ doing the things together and reaching a specific goal through joint effort. In a collaborative environment, every individual perfoms his potential. Students learn from one another. Group members debate , share , interact, build bridges to come to mutual conclusions. A friendly and sincere atmosphere is the essence of collaborative learning.

A imple concept of collaborative learning presented by Dillenbourg (1999) is that this is a learning situation in which two or more people learn or try to learn something together.
For Vasconcelos and Alonso (2008) "collaborative learning" describes a situation in which it is expected that particular forms of interaction will occur between individuals capable of triggering learning processes. [...] Collaborative learning presupposes an open learning environment in which the subject engages in doing things and reflecting on what he does, being given the opportunity to think for himself and to compare his thought process with of others, promoting critical thinking.

1.-Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."
2.-Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together.More specifically, collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetric roles.

Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material.

Collaborative learning covers a broad territory of approaches with wide variability in the amount of in-class or out-of-class time built around group work. Collaborative activities can range from classroom discussions interspersed with short lectures, through entire class periods, to study on research teams that last a whole term or year. The goals and processes of collaborative activities also vary widely. Some faculty members design small group work around specific sequential steps, or tightly structured tasks. Others prefer a more spontaneous agenda developing out of student interests or questions. In some collaborative learning settings, the students’ task is to create a clearly delineated product; in others, the task is not to produce a product, but rather to participate in a process, an exercise of responding to each other’s work or engaging in analysis and meaning-making.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

https://www.evergreen.edu/sites/default/files/facultydevelopment/docs/WhatisCollaborativeLearning.pdf

‘“Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.

Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teacher- centered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process.’

Quand parle-t-on de travail collaboratif ?

« Quand deux ou plusieurs personnes

- échangent des points de vue sur des informations existantes

- planifient et gèrent leur temps

- organisent leur travail collectif

- partagent de l'expérience

- définissent des objectifs communs

- construisent des informations ensemble

- construisent des compétences ensemble

Quand parle-t-on de travail collaboratif ?

Quand deux ou plusieurs personnes travaillent en mode synchrone

- dans le même milieu (salle de réunion, cafétaria, préau ou couloir...)

- dans des lieux différents (audio-conférence, visio-conférence, partage d'application). »

Séminaire TICE. Nantes, 6 avril 2003

France Henri, Karin Lundgren-Cayrol: « La démarche collaborative couple deux démarches : celle de l'apprenant et celle du groupe". L'apprentissage collaboratif est une démarche active par laquelle l'apprenant travaille à la construction de ses connaissances. Le formateur y joue le rôle de facilitateur des apprentissages alors que le groupe y participe comme source d'information, comme agent de motivation, comme moyen d'entraide et de soutien mutuel et comme lieu privilégié d'interaction pour la construction collective des connaissances. [...] Dans la démarche collaborative, les apprenants collaborent aux apprentissages du groupe et, en retour, le groupe collabore à ceux des apprenants.'

Travail coopératif

« Dans le cadre d'un travail réalisé de façon coopérative, il y aura une répartition claire du travail entre ses participants. De façon concrète, il sera assigné à chaque élève une tâche claire et concrète. Par la suite, les travaux individuels de chaque élèves seront assemblés et formeront le travail final.

Dans cette forme de travail l'apprenant sera responsable de sa propre production, mais il devra néanmoins apprendre à interagir avec les autres participants afin que le travail final puisse être cohérent. »

Travail collaboratif

« Dans le cadre d'un travail réalisé de façon collaborative, il n'y aura aucune répartition du travail entre ses participants. En effet ces derniers travailleront tous ensemble à chaque étape de l'élaboration du travail. Il sera donc impossible, une fois le travail réalisé, d'identifier le travail fourni par chacun.

Ce type de travail se base sur les capacités de communication et d'interaction de chacun. »

Cooperative Learning:

Cooperative learning is a generic term for various small group interactive instructional procedures. Students work together on academic tasks in small groups to help themselves and their teammates learn together. In general, cooperative learning methods share the following five characteristics.

Student work together on common tasks or learning activities that are best handled through group work.
Students work together in small groups containing two to five members.
Students use cooperative, pro-social behavior to accomplish their common tasks or learning activities.
Students are positively interdependent. Activities are structured so that students need each other to accomplish their common tasks or learning activities.
Students are individually accountable or responsible for their work or learning.

Why Cooperative Learning?

Cooperative Learning enhances student learning by:

providing a shared cognitive set of information between students,
motivating students to learn the material,
ensuring that students construct their own knowledge,
providing formative feedback,
developing social and group skills necessary for success outside the classroom, and
promoting positive interaction between members of different cultural and socioeconomic groups

A Portuguese Scientist said this. He was right. We need others to complement our ideas, to bring new suggestions.
“Collaborative learning” is a Key phrase that emphasizes the need for a wide variety of educational approaches that involve teachers and students. More important than to competition is to achieve a goal which will be a group conquest.

a) Collaborative learning is the
method in which students work together in groups that promote positive interdependence through individual responsibility for their own learning and
active participation in solving tasks
b) Collaborative learning is an instructional method
in which students of different levels of knowledge learn together in small groups. Students are responsible for themselves
their learning as well as the learning of others. The success of one member of the group helps others to be more successful.
Cooperative teams achieve higher levels of thinking and
keep information longer than those who work individually. Shared learning gives students a chance
to take part in the discussion, to take responsibility for their own learning, and to exchange AN EXCELLENT INTEREST AND CRITICAL OPINION of a critical opinion.

Collaborative Learning
In this mode of learning, each student makes progress individually in-line with the progress made by others; it helps the students to recognize the aspect of difference, both in themselves and in others through working separately but in tandem. They learn to respect his difference and use it to their advantage. It is group-structured; The students do their own assessment of both their individual and group performances The success of the group generally depends on the success of the individuals in the group.

Cooperative Learning
The teacher is heavily involved in the group work. The teacher listens, observes and can even intervene in the discussions if he/she feels this is necessary. This method of learning relies heavily on interdependence of the students among each other. Success of the group is highly dependent on the efforts and the accountability of all the individual members involved in the assignment.

To me, collaborative learning is a process in which each individual actively participates in the construction of knowledge, in solving a problem or in exploring a situation. This collaboration is supported by a personalized intervention, in which each element gives its opinion, suggests strategies of resolution, analyzes and shares responsibilities. In this process, negotiation and decisions are made, stimulating the communication between all elements.

Other definitions:
- Collaboration is a promising mode of human engagement that has become a twenty-first-century trend. The need for think together and work together on critical issues has increased, causing to stress on from individual attempts to team work and from autonomy to community. The term CL refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The learners are responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one learner helps other students to be successful. ( https://ac.els-cdn.com/S1877042811030205/1-s2.0-S1877042811030205-main.pdf?_tid=d5ea9700-f111-4e6d-a71f-42f857e85fee&acdnat=1549317756_466c542dc729ce5219899720bba43dc7 ).
- Collaborative problem solving is conceptualised as a complex skill requiring both social and cognitive competencies. It arises from the links between critical thinking, problem solving, decision making and collaboration – all of which processes are hypothesised to contribute to the skill. […] Collaborative problem solving means approaching a problem proactively and responsively, by working together and exchanging ideas. Collaboration is a useful tool, especially when specific expertise is needed (and available), and relies on factors such as a readiness to participate, mutual understanding, and the ability to manage interpersonal conflicts .

Collaboration is, in my opinion, a higher level of social involvement and coordination in learning. It is the synchronization and interdependence of efforts that bring together different skills in such harmony that make co-creation possible. Collaboration focuses on complex processes where the whole is more than the sum of its parts and relies on the discussed perception of problems, negotiated decisions, permanent feedback and redirection of strategies. It differs from cooperation in that cooperation if contribution of each individual to a certain common aim but not the process of building that aim together. Here are two good definitions – the first one because it focuses on the interdependence and simultaneous individuality that interact in collaborative environments, the second because it clarifies the concept through contrast with cooperation:

1. In collaborative activities “learners are mutually dependent on each other yet are held individually accountable.” (Jane A. Scheuermann, 2018)

I think that the Wikipedia's definition of collaborative learning is pretty good and it is - Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another's resources and skills (asking one another for information, evaluating one another's ideas, monitoring one another's work, etc.). More specifically, collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetric roles.
To me collaborative learning is a process in which students work in groups/teams in order to achieve certain goal, to gain experience and to actually learn from each other. While collaborating, everyone participates with their strongest abilities, so it is important that we choose which students to collaborate so that their learning will be fruitful and efficient, e.g. one student is good at organising the tasks, another is good at finding information about the task, third student will take care of the examples and illustrations and so on..

Collaborative learning is student-centered, together interact with one goal, work towards the same end. But learning will be much more enriched if there is co-operation between them, it presupposes working together as well as helping oneself along the path of learning.

- Ken Bruffee (1995) identifies two causes for the differences between the two approaches, (collaborative vs cooperative learning). He states: "First, collaborative and cooperative learning were developed originally for educating people of different ages, experience and levels of mastery of the craft of interdependence. Second, when using one method or the other method, teachers tend to make different assumptions about the nature and authority of knowledge." (p12)

Collaboration is indeed of paramount importance for our 21st Century learners and their future careers. But what exactly is collaboration, here collaborative learning? For Dillenbourg (1999) “The broadest (but unsatisfactory) definition of 'collaborative learning' is that it is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together” (p.1). In other words, this clear definition places its focus on learning together.

In an increasingly connected and globalised world and more than we already do today, our learners will likely experience collaborative work throughout their lives, and may involve working in an international team, hence with co-workers from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. From an early age, our pupils should therefore be encouraged and led to communicate with people from different countries and nothing better than involving them in projects.
Janet Salmons defines collaboration as "an interactive process that engages two or more participants who work together to achieve outcomes they could not accomplish independently” and even establishes a taxonomy of online collaboration (please see Pic)

Students learn more effectively with each other. Teaching for the masses, by not thinking about the differences that compose each unique individual, is a major mistake. With collaborative learning, teaching is transformed into a daily surprise, in which the students share their discoveries and help each other to solve problems. The teacher should be a mediator, an observer and advisor. The work should be developed by the students and then shown and validated by their peers.

Here's another definition:

The difference is explained by Freitas and Freitas (2003),(...) which indicates that cooperative learning is
a subtype of collaborative learning. Damon and Phelps (1989, cited by
Fernandes 1997) distinguish cooperative work from collaborative work, the
first is the work in which the students assume different roles to solve the proposed task. The subdivision of the task can result in a more
individualist and isolated work by the students, allowing a greater competition
between them. The second is described as a work in which students always work
together to solve the same problem, which allows to create a
stimulating environment that makes new discoveries possible, mutual feedback and
sharing of ideas. 
(file:///C:/Users/filip/Downloads/10839-Texto%20do%20Trabalho-32543-1-10-20170208.pdf)

And another definition:
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994).

In education, collaborative learning is a technique teachers use to group students together to impact learning in a positive way. Proponents of collaborative learning believe it helps students in many ways. They theorize that working together increases learning outcomes. Collaborative learning can occur between just two students or within a larger group, and it can take a variety of forms.

ollaborative learning approaches nicely – enabling students to effectively collaborate together, starting from developing a true team spirit in class!
Co-operative learninginvolves more inherent interdependence, promoting greater accountability.
Collaborative learning
Students progress personally, while collectively working towards a common goal. Students are accountable to one another and, with appropriate direction, will self-manage this. Pupils learn to better understand and anticipate difference, recognise it in themselves and others, and use it to their advantage.

A typical collaborative learning process:

Students organise their efforts between themselves (group-structured)
Students source material to help them complete the activity
The activity is not monitored by the teacher (although they can help when assistance is requested by the group)
Students assess their own individual and group performance
Success depends on individual strengths

Collaborative learning

A collaborative (or cooperative) learning approach involves pupils working together on activities or learning tasks in a group small enough for everyone to participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned. Pupils in the group may work on separate tasks contributing to a common overall outcome, or work together on a shared task.

Some collaborative learning approaches put mixed ability teams or groups to work in competition with each other in order to drive more effective collaboration.

In my perspective, Collaborative learning can be stated as the learning which is based on communication, co-operatively problem solving, negotiation and common decision making during the process as pairs or groups of students.

According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994).

According to Dillenburgh, “Collaborative learning' describe a situation in which particular forms of interaction among people are expected to occur, which would trigger learning mechanisms, but there is no guarantee that the expected interactions will actually occur.” (Dillenburgh, 1999)

• positive interdependence - pupils have to depend on each other to succeed, achieving such a group task or problem that an individual can not solve,
• direct interaction - in order to succeed, students must communicate with one another,
• individual responsibility - the group should decide who will be the recorder, who will watch over time, who will take care of the material, etc.,
• collaborative skills - encouraging the development of social skills depending on the age of students,
• group processing - a group learning assessment.

For educationists, collaborative learning is a comprehensive term for "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together."

How Can Teachers Use These Methods?

Collaborative Learning happens when students work together in pairs or groups:

To understand or "make" meaning of a concept or text
To create a solution for a problem (given in class or self-discovered)

Cooperative learning is a form of active learning where students work together to perform specific tasks in a small group.

Each cooperative learning group should be carefully selected by the teacher so that a heterogeneous structure allows each student to bring his or her strengths to the group effort.

The teacher then gives the students an assignment, often helping them to divvy up the work that needs to be done so that each individual in the group has a certain role to play. The end goal can only be reached when every member of the group contributes effectively.

The teacher should also spend time modeling how to resolve conflicts in a cooperative learning group. By Beth Davis

Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves. (Gerlach, 1994) It is through the talk that learning occurs."

Smith and MacGregor (1992) underlies a set of assumptions about the learning process:

Learning is an active process whereby students assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.

Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.

Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.

Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.

In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.

Collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetric roles. (2009, Mitnik; Recabarren; Nussbaum; Soto).

Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and enviroments in which learners engage in a common task where each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. (2008, Chiu).

Cooperative learning is a learning method in which the students help each other’s learning about an academic subject in the classroom or in other environments by creating small mixed groups in the direction of a common goal, the self-confidence of the individuals increases, their communication skills improve, the students most actively participate in the lesson (Aykaç, 2005; Doymuş et al., 2005; Eilks, 2005; Gillies, 2006; Johnson et al., 1980; Johnson et al., 1998; Levine, 2001; Lin, 2006). Cooperative learning does not happen by creating an environment for the students to work together by dividing them into small groups. Basic features of cooperative learning are the studies which require that the students help each other’s learning in the direction of a common goal, they solve the problems all together, everybody in the group have the right to talk, and they use the time well (Büyükkaragöz & Çivi, 1997; Erdem, 2009). As the individuals are to work together, the behavior, helping each other, becomes prominent.

Group work vs. collaborative learning

Definitions of group work and collaborative learning abound, and they are not exclusive of each other. One of the most useful explanations I have found of collaborative learning comes from Smith and MacGregor (1992): “Activities may differ considerably, but focus on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.” Group work is often described as a good way to improve productivity by delegating tasks. However, this gives rise to what I refer to as the “divide and conquer” mentality (students who complete only a portion of the workload and then share answers with their group). Group work is also reported to be a way to incorporate different perspectives, experiences, knowledge, and skill sets, but in my experience, the same could be said for collaborative learning.

A major difference between group work and collaborative learning is accountability. I do not give group grades. Activities are used to teach the competencies of the course, and students assume responsibility for their learning, and they earn their own grades based on their performances on an assessment of the competencies. The key is to structure the activities collaboratively so that learners are mutually dependent on each other yet are held individually accountable. This eliminates the free-riders (students who try to coast based on the group’s performance).

Creating or converting activities to a collaborative format takes some preplanning on the instructor’s part. I develop one to three collaborative activities per competency, not all of which are used during a given semester. Some may consider this time commitment a drawback to using collaborative learning; however, if a collaborative activity is designed well, it can be reused or tweaked for a future semester, which is a time-saver in the long term.

“Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.
According to me Collaborative Learning is a process which allows students to find their own paths towards a solution, and in doing this they can build up their knowledge and develop their competences.
I would call collaborative learning "social and reciprocal teaching and learning"

I do understand collaborative learning as a process, when you have a common task, problem, effort....and to solve it is a common goal so that everybody can do give their best to carry out the task, and teach and learn and help at the same time....

http://www.gdrc.org/kmgmt/c-learn/index.html: The term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal.

Collaborative Learning happens when students work together in pairs or groups:

To understand or "make" meaning of a concept or text
To create a solution for a problem (given in class or self-discovered)
To explore a topic, a question, an area of knowledge
To apply the principles learned in their curriculum
To conceive of new ways to apply the knowledge they have learned in class

Letting the students work in groups is quite different from allowing them to work collaboratively. Many times when we ask our students to do pair work or group work, we make an outline of the structure of the work/research they have to do leaving them too less autonomy to work. Collaborative learning is allowing students to make their own decisions about who does what, how they work, where they work, when they work. This way they are becoming autonomous, responsible and their learning is effective because they are engaged in what they are doing.

I have looked for two more definitions of collaborative learning:

- "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

- Collaborative learning 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 see it as a process of learning where learners actively engage to accomplish the aim, they cooperate and explore together.
According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."
CL is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Two or

more may be interpreted as a pair, a small group (3-5 subjects) or a class (20-30 subjects). Learn

something may be interpreted as follow a course; perform learning activities such as problem solving.

Together may be interpreted as different forms of interaction which may be face-to-face or computer-

mediated (Dillenbourg, P., 1999.)

2. "... the term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The learners are responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one learner helps other students to be successful.

Proponents of collaborative learning claim that the active exchange of ideas within small groups not only increases interest among the participants but also promotes critical thinking.There is persuasive evidence that cooperative teams achieve at higher levels of thought and retain information longer than learners who work quietly as individuals. The shared learning gives leanres an opportunity to engage in discussion, take responsibility for their own learning, and thus become critical thinkers" - taken from http://www.gdrc.org/kmgmt/c-learn/index.html

In my opinion, collaborative learning is about students to work together with the same goal. In this process they have to have in mind some importante things as cooperating, listening to each other, respect opinions different from one another, discuss ideas and questioning reality.

I agree with the perspective of Kessler (1992) and Bruffe (1999), when schemas of a collaboration that presupposes students work within the reach of common learning objectives. Even if the children can participate and receive their ideas, submit to the school for an activity. That is, the students help each other to achieve success that is the success of the team and not a single learner.

Although both collaborative learning and cooperative learning groups are small, but there exist differences between both. In cooperative learning group members complete their tasks individually, while in collaborative learning group members work together to reach a common goal.(Henri & Rigault, 1996 as cited in Robinson, Kilgore & Warren, 2017)

Definition 1
"Collaborative learning is learning that occurs as a result of interaction between peers engaged in the completion of a common task. Students are not only ‘in’ groups, they ‘work’ together in groups, playing a significant role in each other's learning. The collaborative learning process creates an understanding of a topic and/or process within a group which members of the group could not achieve alone. Students may work face to face and in or out of the classroom, or they may use information technology to enable group discussion, or to complete collaborative writing tasks."
Collaborative learning, by The Centre for Learning and Professional Development at the University of Adelaide
Definition 2
"A collaborative (or cooperative) learning approach involves students working together on activities or learning tasks in a group small enough for everyone to participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned. Students in the group may work on separate tasks contributing to a common overall outcome, or work together on a shared task."

Co-operative learning consists in obtaining the active involvement of the students in the learning process.
Whenever two or more students try to solve a problem or answer a question, they enter a learning process, motivated by the desire to know. They interact with each other, share ideas and concepts, look for new data, make decisions about the results of their choices and present the results to the whole class. They can give or receive assistance from their companions. They can contribute to structuring the work of the class by making suggestions on the type of lesson and on the procedures to be adopted.

Collaborative learning is a process by which learners (with various types of performance) work together in small groups with a common goal. This is a student-centered approach, derived from social learning theories, as well as borrowed from a socio-constructivist perspective on learning.
Collaborative learning is a form of relationship between students that fosters positive interdependence, individual responsibility and interpersonal skills. By collaborating, students learn to be effective and teaching must be seen as a process of developing students' ability to learn. The teacher's role is not to transmit information, but to act as a facilitator for learning.
This process involves the creation and management of meaningful learning experiences and the encouragement of reasoning in students through real-world problems. The task must be clearly defined and be framed with specific objectives.
Sometimes cooperative and collaborative terms are used synonymously (also in relation to learning), but cooperative work usually involves a division of labor between team members, while collaborative work requires that all team members address the work. task together in a coordinated effort.

1. Collaborative learning is an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers. Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. It involves use of small groups so that all students can maximise their learning and that of their peers. It is a process of shared creation: two of more individuals interacting to create a shared understanding of a concept, discipline or area of practice that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own. Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, and other activities.
(http://sydney.edu.au/education_social_work/learning_teaching/ict/theory/collaborative_learning.shtml)
2. Collaborative learning is learning that occurs as a result of interaction between peers engaged in the completion of a common task. Students are not only ‘in’ groups, they ‘work’ together in groups, playing a significant role in each other's learning. The collaborative learning process creates an understanding of a topic and/or process within a group which members of the group could not achieve alone. Students may work face to face and in or out of the classroom, or they may use information technology to enable group discussion, or to complete collaborative writing tasks.

Collaborative learning (CL) can be defined as a set of teaching and learning strategies promoting student collaboration in small groups (two to five students) in order to optimise their own and each other’s learning (Johnson & Johnson,1999).

DW Johnson, RT Johnson, EJ Holubec - 1994 - books.google.com

For schools and classrooms to become places of achieving goals, educators and students
must cooperate to further learning. Cooperative learning in education means overcoming
the competition and individualism present in traditional educational models.

"Collaborative Learning is a teaching strategy that encourages student participation in the
learning process that makes learning an active and effective process. It is a set of educational approaches also called cooperative learning or small group learning. "(Torres, P. L.; Alcantara, P. R.; Irala, E. A., 2004:3) (My translation)
I decided to select this small definition because it alludes to the connection between collaborative learning and the existence of work groups.

"a group learning activity organized in such a way that learning is dependent on the socially structured information exchange between students in groups and in which each student is responsible for their own learning and is motivated to contribute to the learning of others."
( MATTHEWS et al., 1995; OLSEN; KAGAN, 1992 apud Torres, P. L.; Alcantara, P. R.; Irala, E. A., 2004:3) (My translation)
In this definition I highlight the motivation to contribute to the learning of the other. It is a very interesting part in that we feel part of a group and feel useful in that group.

Definition one
“Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it. (…)Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process.

1st Definition by Kagan:
Cooperative Learning is a teaching arrangement that refers to small, heterogeneous groups of students working together to achieve a common goal (Kagan, 1994). Students work together to learn and are responsible for their teammates' learning as well as their own. The basic elements are:

1. Positive Interdependence - occurs when gains of individuals or teams are positively correlated.

2. Individual Accountability - occurs when all students in a group are held accountable for doing a share of the work and for mastery of the material to be learned.

3. Equal Participation - occurs when each member of the group is afforded equal shares of responsibility and input.

4. Simultaneous Interaction - occurs when class time is designed to allow many student interactions during the period.

2nd Definition by Vygotsky:

Collaborative learning is rooted in Lev Vygotsky's concept of learning called zone of proximal development. Typically there are tasks that learners can and cannot accomplish. Between these two areas is the zone of proximal development, which is a category of things that a learner can learn but with the help of guidance. The zone of proximal development gives guidance as to what set of skills a learner has that are in the process of maturation. In Vygotsky's definition of zone of proximal development, he highlighted the importance of learning through communication and interactions with others rather than just through independent work. This has made way for the ideas of group learning, one of which being collaborative learning.

Collaborative Learning means articulation and interdenpendence. One must trust and share knowledge in order to solve a problem or a challenge.
Students can work together, sharing points of view, discuss opinions, accept and if needed, to change point of views. Students must be confident and free to give their opinions and make suggestions, experiment their ideas and accept that their strategies sometimes must be changed in order to find the results. It makes students think, create and remake while the process takes place. More than the product itself, the learnings made during the process are fundamental.

1. „Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. Cooperative learning is a specific kind of collaborative learning. In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity.“ (www.thirteen.org)

2. „Cooperative learning generally means that the teacher makes each member of the group in charge of the academic performance of the others. Each of the members of the group uses their knowledge and skills to help the other members of the group understand the content. This means that each individual I not only responsible for their own learning but also for that of their fellow group members. This makes all of them feel like teachers creating an air of achievement. Collaborative learning on the other hand means that the students come together to work on a project as a team. Each student is responsible for their own individual work separately. The students are also in charge of the work of the team as a whole.“ (www.eztalks.com)

1. Definition:

· Collaborative learning: students make individual progress in tandem with others, working towards a common goal. Students are accountable to one another and, with appropriate direction, will self-manage this. Pupils learn to better understand and anticipate difference, recognise it in themselves and others, and use it to their advantage.

· Co-operative learning: co-operation involves inherent interdependence – like the cast and crew of a theatre production, for example. Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, but are open for negotiation. This method of collaboration brings with it a strong sense of accountability.

01. Collaborativ learning is a process through which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The instructor’s role is not to transmit information, but to serve as a facilitator for learning. This involves creating and managing meaningful learning experiences and stimulating learners’ thinking through real-world problems. Yet, the task must be clearly defined and be guided by specific objectives. (Unesco)

02. Collaborative learning (CL) refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal.

· To explore a topic, a question, an area of knowledge

· To apply the principles learned in their curriculum

· To conceive of new ways to apply the knowledge they have learned in class

I find in the following article, interesting informations “What do you mean by collaborative learning?” by Pierre Dillenbourg (https://telearn.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00190240/document)

He refers that 'collaborative learning' describe a situation in which particular forms of interaction among people are expected to occur, which would trigger learning mechanisms, but there is no guarantee that the expected interactions will actually occur. Hence, a general concern is to develop ways to increase the probability that some types of interaction occur.

For him, the adjective collaborative concerns four aspects of learning:

(1) A situation can be characterised as more or less collaborative (e.g. collaboration is more likely to occur between people with a similar status than between a boss and her employee, between a teacher and a pupil),

(2) The interactions which do take place between the group members can be more or less collaborative (e.g. negotiation has a stronger collaborative flavour than giving instructions)

(3) Some learning mechanisms are more intrinsically collaborative (e.g. grounding has a stronger collaborative flavour than induction), even if, at a very fine level of analysis, learning mechanisms must be similar to those triggered in individual learning.

(4) The fourth element concerns the effects of collaborative learning, not because this element is used to define collaboration itself, but because the divergent views concerning how to measure the effects of collaborative learning participate in the terminological wilderness of this field.

(Smith and MacGregor, 1992) In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.

Collaborative learning is an educational methodology that promotes more active learning and involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, to carry out a task or to create a product in a creative, shared and interdependent way. In this type of approach, fundamental interpersonal skills are developed to give our students a more active role in society and to make them efficient collaborators in the future: effective communication skills, negotiation, conflict resolution, decision making, leadership, personal responsibility and work of team. The world needs a functional citizenship.

For me, collaborative learning must encompass many aspects. The teacher, in my view, should pass the  teaching responsibility, assuming a position of mediator of the learning. I also consider important that the collaborative learning fosters learning by sharing opinions, discussing ideas, exchanging experiences, ... and I believe that in this way, the motivation as well as the interest and participation of the students will be more evident.

According to Anna Laghigna, a specialist in Co-Lab, "it is a project that looks to the future, focused on making collaborative teaching and learning in the classroom" (2017).
Currently, collaborative learning is fundamental to developing a set of interpersonal skills such as effective communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, decision making, leadership, personal responsibility and teamwork, and it is critical that these skills are taught in school, because they can help our students to become efficient, problem-solving and more innovative solutions. Our students like to work together, but they need to learn how to collaborate effectively to achieve a common goal. Working on a joint project requires high thinking skills such as problem formulation and resolution, critical reasoning, and the ability to provide constructive feedback to others in order to move forward. This is often impossible without the input of many people. Real collaboration should be interdependent, which means that all students share responsibility and make decisions throughout their learning process. They will obviously need guidance, especially in the early stages of the project planning process. And this is where the role of the teacher becomes essential.

Collaborative learning, according to Anthony Kaye's definition, is when there is a real interdependence among the group members in the realization of a task, a commitment to mutual help, a sense of responsibility towards the group and its objectives. This learning mode is based on communication, synchronous or asynchronous activities.
Collaborative learning is a journey of the self that comes out of itself to recognize and meet the other.

According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs." Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse. In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas.

Collaborative learning refers to an educational methodological approach in which students are supposed to work together to achieve a common goal. This methodology enables students to carry out active learning strategies that they own and involves team work in order to solve a problem creatively and independently. With this approach, students are being prepared to, later on in their lives, become active and conscious citizens. This methodological approach also helps students develop interpersonal skills and other skills that workers need for the XXI century, like, for instance, effective communication skills, negotiation, conflict resolution, decision making, leadership and personal responsibility, among others.

“Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

There are many approaches to collaborative learning. A set of assumptions about the learning process (Smith and MacGregor, 1992) underlies them all:

1. Learning is an active process whereby students assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.

2. Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.

3. Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.

4. Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.

Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another's resources and skills.
There is continuous feedback, adjustment, shared responsibility and decision making. Without the contribution of each individual the end result is not possible.

According to Barbara Leigh Smith and Jean T. MacGregor “Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.
According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

Collaborative learning is a teaching and learning method in which students work together, sometimes in pairs, sometimes in small groups to solve one and the same problem to explore a new theme or to launch new ideas, new combinations or even authentic innovations. Learning through co-operation is the use of small groups for instructional purposes, so that by working together - pupils maximize their own learning as well as other colleagues.

Through such an organization of learning situations, pupils depend in a positive way on each other, and this positive interdependence leads them to devotion to the group.

Cooperative learning is a strategy, an action plan, an elaborate construct that targets certain goals for which it uses the types of activities that combine, organize, articulate, program different methods, methods, didactic means, organizational forms, etc. The didactic strategy of cooperative learning is a way of organizing the activity through which the interrelational exchanges between the participants in the activity, through inter-human cooperation processes and constructive competition (student / pupils / pupils / pupils / pupils / pupils / pupils / pupils / students -group), stimulating the student's activism in his interaction with the study material, with the others, through processes of action and transformation of information.

Collabrative learning ,Knowledge is gaine from shared communication,negotiation and production.Students work in heterogenous small group setting to complete a structured activity. Collaborative Learning is when two or more individuals learn something distinct together. The simplest mode of collaborative learning is mutual study. Collaborative learning may be helpful in research projects, project work and other sorts of team-based activities. In collaborative learning, individual learn new things with each other's help.

Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn something together. people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another's resources and skills (asking one another for information, evaluating one another's ideas, monitoring one another's work, etc.). More specifically, collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetric roles.

The idea of collaborative learning has a lot to do with Vygotsy’s idea of the ‘zone of proximal development’, which considers what a student can do if aided/guided by peers or adults. By considering this model for learning, we might consider collaboration to increase student’s awareness of other concepts.

Learning is social in nature. Those who develop good social skills go on to become very successful in life as they have the ability to deal with people and have a sharper EQ. Using different mediums, whether it be books, discussions, technology or projects, we study and develop new ideas. Collaboration is a learned process. If managed correctly, it is a powerful tool that can allow educators to tap into new ideas and information; it allows for challenge and differentiation, enhanced confidence and self-esteem as well as strengthening social skills – a critical skill for life.

Cooperative learning involves more than students working together on a lab or field project. It requires teachers to structure cooperative interdependence among the students. These structures involve five key elements: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face to face interaction, interpersonal and small group social skills and group processing.

İşbirlikçi öğrenme; etkili iletişim, müzakere, çatışma çözümü, karar alma, liderlik, kişisel sorumluluk ve ekip çalışması gibi bir bütün halindeki kişiler arası becerilerin geliştirilmesine yönelik bir anahtardır.

Bu becerilerin okulda da öğretilmesi gerekmektedir, çünkü bunlar öğrencilerimizin çok karmaşık bir dünyada etkili bir şekilde işbirliği yapan ve fonsiyonel vatandaşlar haline gelmesine yardımcı olurlar. Yenilikçi çözümler gerektiren yeni sorunların üstesinden gelmek için yaratıcılığa ihtiyaç duyacaklar.

Öğrenme aktiviteleri, muhtemelen bu tür becerileri entegre edecek şekilde tasarlanmalıdır. Çocuklarımız birlikte çalışmayı seviyorlar, ama ortak bir amaca ulaşmak için verimli bir şekilde nasıl işbirliği yapabileceklerini öğrenmeleri gerekiyor. Bir proje üzerinde birlikte çalışmak; problemi ortaya çıkarma ve çözme, eleştirel düşünme ve bir adım ileri götürmek için başkalarına yapıcı geri bildirimde bulunma gibi yüksek seviyeli düşünme becerileri gerektirir. Çoğunluğun katkısı olmadan bu genellikle imkansızdır.

Gerçek işbirliği, birbirine bağlı olmalıdır. Bu, tüm öğrencilerin öğrenme süreçlerinde sorumluluğu paylaşmaları ve karar almaları anlamına gelir. Proje planlama sürecinin ilk aşamalarında, tabi ki rehberliğe ihtiyaç duyacaklardır. İşte burası biz öğretmenlerin ve destek veren kişilerin rolünün gerekli hale geldiği noktadır.
Collaborative learning is key to developing a whole set of interpersonal skills, such as effective communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, decision-making, leadership, personal responsibility and teamwork.
These skills need to be taught also at school, because they can help our students become efficient collaborators and functioning citizens in a very complex world. They will need creativity to solve new problems that require innovative solutions.
Learning activities should be designed to possibly integrate such skills. Our kids like working together, but they need to learn how to collaborate efficiently in order to reach a common goal. Working on a project together requires high-order thinking skills such as problem-posing and problem-solving, critical thinking and the ability to provide constructive feedback to others in order to make a step forward. This is often impossible without the contribution of many.
Real collaboration should be interdependent, which means that all students share responsibility and make decisions throughout their learning process. They will of course need guidance, especially in the early stages of project-planning. This is where our role as teachers and facilitators becomes essential.

The group should be heterogeneous. Thus, learning from each other takes place.
There is no competition between students. Competition must be between groups.
Success and failure are shared by the whole group.
Teacher's guide.
There is a shared leadership.
It is effective in gaining social skills.
In cooperative learning, students are responsible for learning each other.
Even the most passive student has a major role in the success of the group.
2 - 6 people learning groups are ideal.
Social skills are taught to students.

Cooperative Learning is an instructional strategy that simultaneously addresses academic and social skill learning by students. It is an instructional strategy and has been reported to be highly successful in the classroom because of its increasing need for interdependence in all levels, providing students with the tools to effectively learn from each other. Students work towards fulfilling academic and social skill goals that are clearly stated. It is a team approach where the success of the group depends upon everyone pulling his or her weight.

Collaborative learning is commonly illustrated when groups of students work together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions or to create an artifact or product of their learning. Further, collaborative learning redefines traditional student-teacher relationship in the classroom because activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, joint problem solving, debates, study teams, and other activities in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project.

What is Collaborative Learning?
by Barbara Leigh Smith and Jean T. MacGregor
"'Collaborative learning' is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it. Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process."

Collaborative learning
by Nestor D. Roselli
" Collaborative learning is a concept that defines a theoretical and research area of great interest and strong identity. Although the issue of intellectual cooperation has a long tradition in the field of research for psychology and education (Melero Zabal & Fernández Berrocal, 1995; Roselli, 1999a; Rodriguez Barreiro, Fernández, Escudero & Sabirón, 2000; Barkley, Croos & Major, 2007; Strijbos & Fischer, 2007), regularly associated with the idea of working in a group or team, only in the decade of the 80’s and specially the 90’s, the idea gains a new impetus, giving rise to the epistemic field recognized as collaborative learning."

2. In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.

Silvia PetroviciCollaborative learning implies- active participation of students- proposing interesting and challenging projects and questions- demanding diversity of opinions and considering all contributions as valuable- observing each participant's opinion- Developing conflict resolution skills- capitalizing on previous knowledge and experience- accurately defining the objectives and guiding the activities of the groups- use of multiple research tools, materials, information2. Cristina CiucaLearning through co-operation is the use of small groups for instructional purposes, so that together- pupils maximize their own learning as well as other colleagues.Through such an organization of learning situations, pupils depend in a positive way on each other, and this positive interdependence leads them to devotion to the group.Other key elements in learning through cooperation are: individual responsibility Stimulating interaction skills and interpersonal skills Awareness and evaluation of how the working group works.When learning through co-operation on a regular basis, students from "lonely learners" can become "colleagues who learn together", reaching levels of academic competence within the group and as team members.Learning collaborative groups focus on maximizing the academic success of all members of the group.Group rules should be set as a matter of:• group responsibility;• ability to react to others;• cooperation;• making decisions by consensus;• problem solving.

Collaborative learning is an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers. Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. It involves use of small groups so that all students can maximise their learning and that of their peers. It is a process of shared creation: two of more individuals interacting to create a shared understanding of a concept, discipline or area of practice that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own. Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, and other activities.

" In collaborative learning, learners jointly orchestrate their activities in order to address a particular task or problem. The activities from learners are inextricably intertwined, contributions by learners mutually build upon each other, and one learner’s actions might be taken up or completed by another. Only when a task requires collaboration does the full set of social skills come into force. This makes tasks like collaborative problem solving some of the key testbeds for the assessment of 21st century skills."

For me, collaborative learning is when two or more students, through dialogue, define joint strategies to address problems or difficulties, especially those that do not seem easy or feasible to solve individually.

Dillenbourg (1999), says: “collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together” (1999, p.1).

According to Smith and Macgregor (1992) "Collaborative learning is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product "(1002, p. 1). This author still makes clear that in collaborative learning the goal is not to reach a product, but to participate in a process. https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/84311/2/137329.pdf

Collaborative Learning is when two or more individuals learn something distinct together. The simplest mode of collaborative learning is mutual study. Collaborative learning may be helpful in research projects, project work and other sorts of team-based activities. In collaborative learning, individual learn new things with each other's help. It is today a very modern teaching means around the world. Teachers divide learners into groups in and colleges and schools and make them study and finish projects. Collaborative learning can be divided into online and offline. For example, you can make use of some online education tools, like ezTalks Meetings, to make an online collaborative learning.

P. Dillenbourg presents collaborative learning through notions of situation and interaction (Dillenbourg, 1999). A situation can be described as collaborative, he says, from the moment when people of the same cognitive level, whose statuses are equivalent, are able to work together for a common purpose. This situation is then considered interactive if these people communicate in a sustained way, argue or even oppose by avoiding to impose their points of view. The focus is therefore on the exchange between equals, on the justification of the ideas expressed by one and the other within the group.
Me, I feel closer to authors who go further and consider collaborative learning much more than just a technique, a simple way to solicit collective activity. For example, for T. Panitz (Collaborative versus cooperative learning: A comparison of the two concepts which will help us understand the underlying nature of interactive learning, 1996), collaborative learning is "a way to connect people who respect and showcase the skills and contributions of group members." In these conditions, collaborative learning has the advantage of bringing people together, of empowering them, and in so doing, it should contribute to the emergence of a community spirit. Living together seems more important than working together. I strongly believe that, in this case, our lives, of all us, would be better.

In short, collaborative learning can be defined as individual commitment within a group effort to achieve a common objective. It’s not just a simple division of tasks, it’s about learning from each other, it’s about building character – empathy, shared responsibility and resilience in hardship, tension or failure.

DEFINITION OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

“The broadest (but unsatisfactory) definition of 'collaborative learning' is that it is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Each element of this definition can be interpreted in different ways:

• "two or more" may be interpreted as a pair, a small group (3-5 subjects), a class (20-30 subjects), a community (a few hundreds or thousands of people), a society (several thousands or millions of people)... and all intermediate levels.

• "learn something" may be interpreted as "follow a course", "study course material", "perform learning activities such as problem solving", "learn from lifelong work practice", ....

• "together" may be interpreted as different forms of interaction: face-to-face or computermediated, synchronous or not, frequent in time or not, whether it is a truly joint effort or whether the labour is divided in a systematic way. These three elements of the definition define the space of what is encountered under the label 'collaborative learning': pairs learning through intensive synchronous joint problem solving during one or two hours, groups of students using electronic mail during a one-year course, communities of professionals developing a specific culture across generation (…)”

Pierre Dillenbourg. What do you mean by collaborative learning?. P. Dillenbourg. Collaborativelearning: Cognitive and Computational Approaches., Oxford: Elsevier, pp.1-19, 1999.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING vs COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

"Cooperative Learning is an instructional strategy that simultaneously addresses academic and social skill learning by students. It is an instructional strategy and has been reported to be highly successful in the classroom because of its increasing need for interdependence in all levels, providing students with the tools to effectively learn from each other. Students work towards fulfilling academic and social skill goals that are clearly stated. It is a team approach where the success of the group depends upon everyone pulling his or her weight.

Collaborative learning means working together or interdependently to solve a problem or to build a product according to a well-coordinated plan, adopting an appropriate strategy so that students develop skills such as communication, negotiation, feedback, consensus, and others.

Collaborative learning involves the student to implement together a goal or to solv a task together. In this they have to communicate to each other, they have to recognice and think about what is necessary to solce it, they have to recognice who can bring which skills and which task can be taken, which is important for implentation. So they have to decide and work on a common plan to reach their goal.

Kolaborativno učenje je učenje u kojem učenici zajednički istražuju i rade na različitim zadatcima s istim ciljem ili u istom projektu. Mogu biti na različitim mjestima, nebitno je koliko su udaljeni.
U suradničkom učenju učenici rade u timovima na strukturiranoj aktivnosti. Rade licem u lice, individualno su odgovorni ali se ocjenjuje i zajednički rad.

Collaborative learning means interaction teacher-student-teacher to try and solve a problem. It depends on communication, negotiation and coordination following a plan that leads to problem solving.
“Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teacher-centered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process.”

I usually use cooperative instead of colaborative, inspired by Sérgio Niza (Movimento da Escola Moderna, Portugal), that states:

In cooperative learning, the success of a student contributes to the success of all group members. Educational cooperation, in peer work or small groups, to achieve the same purpose contradict the individualist and competitive tradition of the school. It assumes that each of the group members can only achieve their objective if each of the others has reached it as well.

Collaboration enables all members to achieve their goals together, as an important way to build knowledge and as an individual and social process. Thus, I present two definitions of collaborative learning.

“Collaborative learning is an educational process in which groups work together with a view to a common purpose (…). Is based on active participation and interaction with peers and teachers. Collaborative learning environments should stimulate growth and group building.” (Pereira, 2018).

Collaborative learning implies the involvement of “different actors working together not in a hierarchical relationship, but on the basis of equality so as to be mutual assistance and achieve goals that benefit all" (Boavida & Ponte, 2002). So, it would appear as an emerging process in which it is essential that participants express opening in the way they relate to each other, featuring a continuous give and take, assuming joint responsibility for the orientation of work and being able to build solutions to the problems in the respect for differences and individual particularities. A work of collaboration demands, necessarily, a common basis between the various participants, it has to do with the objectives and forms of work and relationship” (Idem).

I think collaborative learning is method of teaching and learning in with groups of students works together to solve a problem and create a final product where they present their solutions for solving that. It must be a project that means something to theme so that students field involved and want to work. They must use everyone’s skills, they have to learn how to negotiate until finding consensus, they have to listening all team so they create better solutions. In result of that work they must have conclude significant learning.

A simple definition of collaborative learning is “group work”. However, not all groups work collaboratively. Real collaboration involves social interaction, where participants share their ideas, and actively contribute to solve a problem or complete a task (Curry n.d.).

It can be synonymous with social constructivism, where collaboration leads to the creation of knowledge and meaning (Smith and Ragan 2005).

That collaboration includes communication, participation in activities, and interaction. Students should be actively comparing their ideas in order to co-construct their knowledge (Lock and Redmond 2006).

Curry (n.d.) provides a description of the qualities necessary for a team to successfully solve the problem. These include establishing proper group dynamics (acceptance of value and worth of individuals, conflict resolution, commitment and more). (Lott 2006)

A type of Community of Inquiry (Archer, Garrison, Anderson & Rourke, 2001).

Collaborative Learning refers to activities that challenge learners in distributed locations to work interdependently to achieve a shared learning goal. Goes beyond cooperative learning by emphasizing cognitive diversity, critical dialogue & joint knowledge construction. A subset of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (Koschmann, 2002).

Formal cooperative learning consists of students working together, for one class period to several weeks, to achieve shared learning goals and complete jointly specific tasks and assignments (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008).

Informal cooperative learning consists of having students work together to achieve a joint learning goal in temporary, ad-hoc groups that last from a few minutes to one class period (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008).

Cooperative base groups are long-term, heterogeneous cooperative learning groups with stable membership (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008). Members’ primary responsibilities are to (a) ensure all members are making good academic progress (i.e., positive goal interdependence) (b) hold each other accountable for striving to learn (i.e., individual accountability), and (c) provide each other with support, encouragement, and assistance in completing assignments (i.e., promotive interaction). In order to ensure the base groups function effectively, periodically teachers should teach needed social skills and have the groups process how effectively they are functioning.

These three types of cooperative learning may be used together (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008). A typical class session may begin with a base group meeting, which is followed by a short lecture in which informal cooperative learning is used. The lecture is followed by a formal cooperative learning lesson. Near the end of the class session another short lecture may be delivered with the use of informal cooperative learning. The class ends with a base group meeting.

Not all groups are cooperative (Johnson & F. Johnson, 2009). Placing people in the same room, seating them together, telling them they are a group, does not mean they will cooperate effectively.
To be cooperative, to reach the full potential of the group, five essential elements need to be carefully structured into the situation: positive interdependence, individual and group accountability, promotive interaction, appropriate use of social skills, and group processing (Johnson & Johnson, 1989, 2005).

"Gli apprendimenti di gruppo includono sia le tecniche di apprendimento cooperativo di gruppo vere e proprie sia quelle di sostegno e reciprocità sotto forma di insegnamento reciproco e tutoraggio tra pari. L'intuizione secondo cui lo sviluppo dell'allievo avviene in un contesto sociale e collaborativo, formulata da Dewey all'inizio del secolo, attraversa tutta la scuola attiva; una delle forme concrete che assume nella didattica è quella del lavoro a gruppi (Cousinet 1973). Nella scuola italiana le prime iniziative concrete si osservano negli anni '60-'70 (Don Milani, Ciari, Lodi). Gli apprendimenti di gruppo, che includono sia le tecniche di apprendimento cooperativo di gruppo vere e proprie sia quelle di sostegno e reciprocità (insegnamento reciproco, tutoraggio tra pari) trovano oggi vasti ambiti di applicazione sia nella scuola che nella didattica adulta, in un'ottica principalmente lewiniana e vigotskiana. Da Lewin derivano concetti come il grado di coesione del gruppo che corrisponde al punto di equilibrio tra le forze centrifughe che spingono l'individuo a stare nel gruppo e quelle centripete che tendono ad allontanarlo; da concetti del genere sono derivate anche le tecniche sociometriche, volte a misurare il ruolo svolto dal singolo in rapporto al gruppo. La formazione dei gruppi può avvenire a caso, per interesse, per livelli di abilità, per integrazione oculata di competenze diverse. Non tutte le materie e situazioni possono trarre vantaggio dal lavoro di gruppo e cooperativo; in generale più ampio è il gruppo, più ampia è la gamma di interessi, esperienze abilità che possono entrare in gioco ma parallelamente maggiori sono le abilità di cooperazione e di coordinamento necessarie; con soggetti piccoli, con scarso controllo, gruppi superiori a 3-4 unità sono difficilmente capaci di autogovernarsi. Il gruppo-coppia in genere assicura una maggiore partecipazione; è un buon modo per iniziare e per stimolare i soggetti a rendersi reciprocamente utili. Nel modello peer tutoring il tutor, che è un compagno, porta alla luce la "zona di sviluppo prossimale" del tutee, cioè quel potenziale che rimarrebbe occulto senza un'adeguata interazione con sostegni esterni. La cooperazione assume oggi nuove forme per mezzo degli ambienti elettronici che permettono convergenza degli apporti e condivisione a distanza attraverso forum e bacheche telematiche" (A. Calvani: http://www.thinktag.it/system/files/6353/Strategie_2.pdf?1292164323)

Collaborative learning goes to the roots of long-held assumptions about teaching and learning. Classroom roles change: both teachers and students take on more complex roles and responsibilities. (Finkel and Monk, 1983; MacGregor, 1990 ).
Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds (Smith and MacGregor, 1992).

Collaboration is "a form of relationship between students, which consists in solving problems of common interest, in which each contributes actively and effectively" (Handrabura, Loretta, 2003) and through cooperation "a form of learning, study, action reciprocal, interpersonal / intergroup, of variable duration resulting from the mutual influences of the agents involved "(Handrabura, Loretta, 2003).

This book is mainly about the 'small scale' end of this continuum, i.e. collaboration between two or a few human or artificial agents for a well-defined learning or problem solving task. (Dillenbourg, 1999)

Aprendizagem colaborativa ”é um termo genérico para uma variedade de abordagens educacionais que
envolvem o esforço intelectual conjunto dos estudantes, ou alunos e professores em conjunto. Geralmente, os
alunos estão trabalhando em grupos de dois ou mais, procurando conhecimento,
soluções ou significados, ou criando um produto. As atividades de aprendizagem colaborativa variam
amplamente, mas a maioria centra-se na exploração ou aplicação do material do curso pelos alunos, e não
simplesmente na apresentação ou explicação do professor.

Collaborative learning is accomplished through teamwork, engaging and involving students with their own learning.It involves action, research, discussion of opinions / selection of information, participation of all in the process and in assessment.

Here are two other definitions, as requested: 
“Collaborative learning is a teaching methodology based on the interaction, collaboration and on active students` participation. It is a method that can be applied in different contexts - workshops, lectures, trainings and courses - always emphasizing the exchange of experiences and promoting the engagement, involvement and motivation of the participants. 
 Characteristics of collaborative learning - Student-centered educational environment;- Teacher seen as an advisor;- Proactive and investigative learning;- Emphasis on applicability;- Group learning;- Transformation. Benefits of Collaborative Learning - Development of a sense of teamwork;- Development of new behavioral and intellectual skills;- Substantial improvement in self-esteem;- Improvement of communication;- Development of the critical, logical and analytical sense;- Improvement in interpersonal relationships;- Practical learning, rather than theoretical memorization;- Developing the skills of understanding and dealing with different points of view.”

 “Collaborative learning basically consists of gathering the participants around a single goal and, with the intermediary of the teacher, conduct the work so that everyone strives to achieve the desired result. In the case of educational institutions, the objective is to involve the students participating in the acquisition of new knowledge. This method of teaching allows, among other things, the development of the students' team sense, the valuing and sharing of individual knowledge of each one and the achievement of values as mutual respect. In addition, the technique protects the freedom of each participant to expose their own ideas, express themselves and speak freely, in order to reach consensus. Using this strategy, the teacher moves from transmitter to facilitator, enabling students to produce and construct knowledge for themselves. In collaborative learning, everyone learns together, and the students' autonomy is empowered. It is a way of breaking with traditional teaching structures, overcoming outdated models that are no longer in keeping with our current society, nor the demands and expectations of students.”

For me collaborative learning is a teaching method that is based on the interaction, collaboration and active participation of students. Students exchange knowledge and experiences when working in groups.For Panitz, it is "a philosophy of interaction and a personal way of life (...)" in this sense there is less intervention of the educator and, consequently, it gives more responsibility to the child. (Freitas, 2003: 22)As a definition it can be seen as: "a social, cultural, intellectual and psychological environment that promotes and sustains learning as a social process, based on the sharing of resources and solidary construction of knowledge, formed by a group of people in animated interaction of a mutual commitment, a sense of belonging and identity.

Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. It may be contrasted with competitive (students work against each other to achieve an academic goal such as a grade of “A” that only one or a few students can attain) andindividualistic (students work by themselves to accomplish learning goals unrelated to those of the other students) learning.

1. Collaborative learning is a concept that defines a theoretical and research area of great interest and strong identity. Although the issue of intellectual cooperation has a long tradition in the field of research for psychology and education (Melero Zabal & Fernández Berrocal, 1995; Roselli, 1999a; Rodriguez Barreiro, Fernández, Escudero & Sabirón, 2000; Barkley, Croos & Major, 2007; Strijbos & Fischer, 2007), regularly associated with the idea of working in a group or team, only in the decade of the 80’s and specially the 90’s, the idea gains a new impetus, giving rise to the epistemic field recognized as collaborative learning.
https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1126307.pdf
2. “Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.

When it comes to students working together, the terms collaborative learning and cooperative learning are often used interchangeably. There are still some key differences; with collaborative learning, students make individual progress in tandem with others. Cooperative learning involves more inherent interdependence, promoting greater accountability.

(http://archive.wceruw.org/cl1/cl/moreinfo/mi2a.htm) Peer learning, or peer instruction, is a type of collaborative learning that involves students working in pairs or small groups to discuss concepts or find solutions to problems. Similar to the idea that two or three heads are better than one, educational researchers have found that through peer instruction, students teach each other by addressing misunderstandings and clarifying misconceptions.

Collaborative learning, in my own view, is working together, exchanging ideas, helping each other and sharing knowledge with the objective of helping each other achieve a goal.

As for cooperative learning, there are several types, for example, formal cooperative learning. According to Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008, it consists of students working together, for one class period to several weeks, to achieve shared learning goals and complete jointly specific tasks and assignments.

3.1 What is collaborative learning

In my view, collaborative learning is a model which starting point is the informal knowledge of the students. After sharing, cooperation and debate, the students achieve a certain definition.

After some research, I share another two definitions of collaborative learning.

1 – Collaborative learning is learning to cooperate, cooperating with others collaborators.

This model, used in a school on the United States, abandons the traditional learning model. The students are placed by circles, on the classroom, to debate a proposed theme. The last minutes are used to debate the conclusions intergroup, with the teacher participation. They are also make activities outdoor, to apply the theory to practice.

- Substantial improvement in self-esteem;
- Improvement of communication;
- Development of the critical, logical and analytical sense;

"Often, collaborative learning is used as an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers by engaging individuals in interdependent learning activities.^[15] Many have found this to be beneficial in helping students learn effectively and efficiently than if the students were to learn independently. Some positive results from collaborative learning activities are students are able to learn more material by engaging with one another and making sure everyone understands, students retain more information from thoughtful discussion, and students have a more positive attitude about learning and each other by working together.(16)

Encouraging collaborative learning may also help improve the learning environment in higher education. Kenneth Bruffee performed a theoretical analysis on the state of higher education in America. Bruffee aimed to redefine collaborative learning in academia. Simply including more interdependent activities will help the students become more engaged and thoughtful learners, but teaching them that obtaining knowledge is a communal activity itself.^[17]When compared to more traditional methods where students non-interactively receive information from a teacher, cooperative, problem-based learning demonstrated improvement of student engagement and retention of classroom material. Additionally, academic achievement and student retention within classrooms are increased.^[18] A meta-analysis comparing small-group work to individual work in K-12 and college classrooms also found that students working in small groups achieved significantly more than students working individually, and optimal groups for learning tended to be three- to four-member teams with lower-ability students working best in mixed groups and medium-ability students doing best in homogeneous groups. For higher-ability students, group ability levels made no difference.^[19] In more than 40 studies of elementary, middle, and high school English classrooms, discussion-based practices improved comprehension of the text and critical-thinking skills for students across ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.^[20] Even discussions lasting as briefly as ten minutes with three participants improved perceived understanding of key story events and characters.^{[21] "}^from:^{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_learning}^{In eTwinning projects students do collaborative learning. If there are mixed international teams - what is a really high level of project planning and working I think it is the best way to work. Students work on real-life-problem solving, learn from each other and also receive intercultural knowledge. The national curriculum would have to change and this is a difficult thing as in our country every Land has its own curriculum.}

“Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. Collaborative learning activities vary widely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it. Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process."

Collaborative learning 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. Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves. It is through the talk that learning occurs.There are many approaches to collaborative learning:Learning is an active process whereby learners assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework.Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.
http://www.gdrc.org/kmgmt/c-learn/what-is-cl.html
Cooperative learning is a specific kind of collaborative learning. In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.

In small groups, students can share strengths and also develop their weaker skills. They develop their interpersonal skills. They learn to deal with conflict. When cooperative groups are guided by clear objectives, students engage in numerous activities that improve their understanding of subjects explored.

In order to create an environment in which cooperative learning can take place, three things are necessary. First, students need to feel safe, but also challenged. Second, groups need to be small enough that everyone can contribute. Third, the task students work together on must be clearly defined. The cooperative and collaborative learning techniques presented here should help make this possible for teachers.

Also, in cooperative learning small groups provide a place where:

learners actively participate;
teachers become learners at times, and learners sometimes teach;
respect is given to every member;
projects and questions interest and challenge students;
diversity is celebrated, and all contributions are valued;
students learn skills for resolving conflicts when they arise;
members draw upon their past experience and knowledge;
goals are clearly identified and used as a guide;
research tools such as Internet access are made available;
students are invested in their own learning.

To me, collaborative learning happens when students work together to solve a problem/ a task.

With collaborative learning, we can “promote a more active learning through the stimulus: the critical thinking; the development of interaction capacities, information negotiation and problem-solving skills; development of the self-regulation capacity of the teaching-learning process. These ways of teaching and learning, according to defenders, make students more responsible for their learning, leading them to assimilate concepts and to build knowledge in a more autonomous way.”

Collaborative learning should be understood as an important aspect of a modernly organized educational process. Leaving frontal lecture teaching, overlaying from the board (or graphics), collaborative learning should be one of the solutions offered by contemporary didactics. Additionaly, the pedagogical workshop that should start and finish the day of teaching is very important, as well as an individually planned course that allows students to progress to their own possibilities.

When children are working in pairs/groups, they are working collaboratively. Co-operative
learning is a form of collaborative learning, in which the group works together to maximise
their own and each other’s learning. In co-operative learning, the development of social skills
is very important. The groups are formally structured, and each person in the group is
assigned a certain role. It could be said that in collaborative learning, the children are
working in a group, whereas in co-operative learning they are working as a group!

Definition 1.
In a broader view of what it means to learn collaboratively, it can be said that, in general, learning is expected to occur as a side effect of an interaction between peers working in a system of interdependence in problem solving or achievement
of a task proposed by the teacher. According to some scholars of this type of learning, group interaction emphasizes learning rather than individual effort. More efficient learning, as well as more efficient work, is collaborative and social rather than competitive and isolated. The exchange of ideas with other people improves thinking and deepens the understanding (GERDY, 1998, apud WIERSEMA, 2000).

Definition 2.
The term "collaborative learning" refers to an instructional / learning method in which students work together in small groups around a common goal. Students are responsible for learning each other, so that the success of one helps in the success of others (Gokhale, 1995).

"Collaborate" derives from the Latin, collaboro, -are, work with, that is, act with others to obtain a certain result (https://dicionario.priberam.org/colaborar), that is, the term collaborate suggests that it has to there are 2 or more individuals, who, working together and in an articulated way, reach a certain goal. Collaboration implies plurality. Thus, in collaborative learning, students have to work in teams to solve a given problem, have to analyze the different points of view, respect the decisions, know how to argue, how to integrate the different perspectives, in order to achieve meaningful learning.

According to Barros (1994): Collaboration (co-labore) means working together, which implies the concept of shared goals and an explicit intention to add something - to create something new or different through collaboration, counteracting a simple exchange of information or instructions. For Dillenbourg (1999), collaborative learning is a learning situation in which two or more people learn or try to learn something together. Collaboration that does not aim at standardization, but the heterogeneity that makes possible new forms of peer relations. For Vygotsky (1998), collaboration among students helps develop strategies and general problem-solving skills through the cognitive process implicit in interaction and communication. Collaboration with peers or other more competent individual understanding and shared ways of knowing, but must also be fostered and built.

In the information society in which we live, more and more emphasis is placed on cooperation and collaboration. The terms cooperative and collaborative are sometimes used interchangeably, since both they share the idea of "working with", being the difference in the way the process unfolds (Carvalho, 2007). According to Henri & Rigault (apud Carvalho, ibidem) in a cooperative approach the tasks are divided by the members of the group and are carried out individually, in a collaborative approach the tasks are carried out by all in a continuum of sharing, dialogue and negotiation. For Ausubel, Novak and Hanesian (apud Cañas et al., 1997), collaborative learning is an activity in which students and teachers cooperatively construct an explicit model of knowledge.

Kutnick (1994), for example, understands that the differentiation between the two is crucial, affecting the type of task that can be assigned to a group: Co-operative group work is where the pupils work on the same task but each individual assignments are put together to form a joint outcome. Collaborative group work involves all children contributing to a single outcome and often involves problems-solving activities, particularly in cases where the group has to debate a social or moral issue and produces an agreed solution or recommendation.
Blatchford et al. (2003) point out that it is necessary to take into account several factors so that collaborative learning is meaningful: "If the relationships between grouping size, interaction type and learning tasks are strategically planned then learning experiences will be more effective". Effectively, there are limits to the number of elements that a group can have to function efficiently, as Murray (1992) points out: "As in any group, collaboration is not possible with large numbers of participants. (...) Research on group work has shown that five is a maximum solving problem, ten for discussion and fifteen for reaching a decision"

But the definition is not as specific as the one that video expressed.
"Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product" is the other definition I found out. this one is kind of missing the important tenet of the collaborative learning, such as shared understanding, negotiation, feedback.
as far as ı understand from this search of definition activity, how to make students work collaboratively is still not a well defined process.

"Collaborative learningis a technique teachers use to group students together to impact learning in a positive way. Ms. Tyler knows how important social interaction is for children and understands that they can often teach each other and explain things in ways she can't. "

Collaborative learningis an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers. Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. It involves use of small groups so that all students can maximise their learning and that of their peers. It is a process of shared creation: two of more individuals interacting to create a shared understanding of a concept, discipline or area of practice that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own. Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, and other activities.

The concept of collaborative learning is discussed, with the following definition offered: "a pedagological style that emphasizes cooperative efforts among students, faculty and administrators." The characteristics:(1) collaboration means that both teachers and learners are active participants in the educational process; (2) collaboration bridges the gulf between teachers and students; (3) collaboration creates a sense of community; (4) collaboration means that knowledge is created not transferred; (5) collaboration makes the boundaries between teaching and research less distinct; and (6) collaboration locates knowledge in the community rather than in the individual.

Collaborative learning is building on and valuing children' s prior knowledge, encouraging confident sharing of ideas and play with a purpose.
www.collaborativelearning.org

Collaboration is a philosophy of interaction and personal lifestyle where individuals are responsible for their actions, including learning and respect the abilities and contributions of their peers. In all situations where people come together in groups, it suggests a way of dealing with people which respects and highlights individual group members' abilities and contributions. There is a sharing of authority and acceptance of responsibility among group members for the groups' actions.
The underlying premisse of collaborative learning is based upon consensus building through cooperation by group members, in contrast to competition in which individuals best other group members.

Collaborative learning 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 suggest everybody to take it.

I won't use definitions but explain in my own words. Collaborative learning is when students learn in pairs or groups in a way that every member of the group is dependent on one another and every member is a group leader at some point. Students are working together in small groups sharing responsibility, making decisions, and working interdependently.

https://www.informaquiz.it/multi-quiz/4371-la-differenza-tra-un-apprendimento-collaborativo-e-un-apprendimento-cooperativo

^{A broad definition of "collaborative learning" is given by Kaye, who identifies it as "the acquisition by individuals of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are the result of group interaction or, more clearly, individual learning as a result of a group process". He also distinguishes collaborative learning from cooperative learning: Kaye thinks that only the individual can learn, group learning is a reflection of the sum of the learning of individual members and differentiates "learning" (acquisition of knowledge, skills and individual attitudes) from "group performance" (demonstration of knowledge, skills and attitudes by the group). What distinguishes a collaborative community from most other communities is the desire to build new meanings and knowledge through collaboration with others. It means: sharing tasks, wanting to create something new or different, through a deliberate and structured collaborative process in contrast to the simple exchange of information or execution of instructions. Collaborative learning is also considered to be between people who work together, regardless of whether learning is the main and explicit or secondary and random purpose. In a nutshell, it is defined as individual learning produced by a group process.

A successful collaboration involves:

* some agreement on common objectives and values,

* Putting together individual skills for the benefit of the group.

In the performance of tasks and activities is underlying:

* Sharing of authorities,

* acceptance of responsibilities among all members of the group.

Cooperative learning is understood as an educational process that involves students in teamwork to achieve a common goal. It is therefore characterised as a set of processes and strategies that help the members of the group to work together in order to reach a specific objective or product, previously defined. Co-operative work has more directive characteristics and is generally controlled in its performance by a teacher or supervisor. For this reason it can be defined as teacher-centred, while the mode of collaborative learning is focused on free and constructive interaction between participants [I2]. Finally, group learning qualifies as cooperative if the following elements are present (Johnson, Johnson, 1989): [I3]

* Positive interdependence,

* Individual responsibility,

* Face-to-face interaction,

* Appropriate use of collaborative skills,

* Evaluation of the work,

For Trentin (1998), the proper elements of cooperation are:

* Co-decision: it requires knowing how to manage the synchronisation of actions

* Coordination: expressed in the integration of the contributions expressed.

* Collaboration: it finds its criticality in the progressive convergence of the opinions, choices and values of the participants.}^{http://www.edurete.org/pd/sele_art.asp?idp=21&ida=76}

- Collaborative learning is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product. CL activities vary widely, but most centre on student’s exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it (Smith, B.L. & MacGregor, J.T., 1992).

- Collaborative Learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which participants talk among themselves. It is through the talk that learning occurs (Gerlach, J.M., 1994, p.12).

- Collaborative Learning has as its main feature a structure that allows for student talk, in which students are supposed to talk with each other, and it is in this talking that much of learning occurs (Golub, et al., 1988).

- Collaborative Learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Two or more may be interpreted as a pair, a small group (3-5 subjects) or a class (20-30 subjects). Learn something may be interpreted as follow a course; perform learning activities such as problem solving. Together may be interpreted as different forms of interaction which may be face-to-face or computer-mediated (Dillenbourg, P., 1999).

Collaborative learning happens when children, in pairs or small groups, share their ideas, learn from each other and work together to accomplish a given task.

The term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction method in which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The learners are responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one learner helps other students to be successful.

"One of the most useful explanations I have found of collaborative learning comes from Smith and MacGregor (1992): “Activities may differ considerably, but focus on students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.”

Collaborative Learning:
Group effort required
Learners accountable to each other
Social skills are improved
Helping and sharing is expected
Emphasis on process and product |

Creating a collaborative culture in your classroom:

I offer these tips to faculty wanting to implement collaborative learning in their classrooms:

Set the expectations. Students appreciate knowing what is expected of them, and most will rise to the occasion to meet (and often exceed) the bar that you have set.

Sell it! Tell students early on why you have chosen to use collaborative learning (based on research) and then start collecting your own data to back it up.

Create or modify activities to ensure collaboration. Be sure to structure the activities foster mutual dependence, match them to the course outcomes, and ensure that learning can be individually assessed. Some of my favorites include:

Jigsaw
Delegates
Hollywood Squares
Movable mind maps
Trade-n-post

After careful consideration, implement them! Try one or two and gradually build your repertoire. I would advise against doing what I did, which was to convert an entire semester course at once.

Conduct continuous quality improvement. Immediately after an activity, jot down notes on how long it took, what worked, and what could be improved on for the next time.

All collaborative learning is done in a group (of at least two people), but not all group work is inherently collaborative! The trick is to structure the activity in a way that makes students work together to be successful."

These include both face-to-face conversations and computer discussions (online forums, chat rooms, etc.). Methods for examining collaborative learning processes include conversation analysis and statistical discourse analysis. Thus, collaborative learning is commonly illustrated when groups of students work together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions or to create an artifact or product of their learning.

Collaborative learning activities varywidely, but most center on students’ exploration or application of the course material, notsimply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it.Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms,the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it livesalongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with thecourse material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think ofthemselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expertdesigners of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a moreemergent learning process.

1. Promote the cognitive development of a group of learners through collaborative interaction;
2. To stimulate the development of students' expression, allowing them to better express their ideas, to justify their opinions, to argue and to debate;
3. Stimulate students' social development through the development of self-esteem and positive relationships with individuals who have different social and cultural backgrounds;
4. Stimulating problem solving, critical thinking and analysis, as well as facilitating the understanding of abstract concepts;
5. Enable learning through active experimentation, constructivist actions, and reflective group discourses;
6. Adopt the idea of learning as a lifelong activity and not the acquisition of a fixed set of knowledge. The student should be able to learn collaboratively and learn to learn;
7. Increase student motivation by contextualizing the learning process in real-world tasks.

"Collaborative learning is critical to developing a set of interpersonal skills such as effective communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, decision making, leadership, personal responsibility, and teamwork.
These skills need to be taught in school because they can help our students to become effective collaborators and functional citizens in a very complex world". (Anna Laghigna)

2. There are some differences regarding collaborative and cooperative learning. Even, though both types of learning are based on the active role of students, making them responsible for their own learning, enhancing students’ cognitive skills and embracing the diversity of the class, cooperative learning further emphasizes the interdependence between the members, where everything is open for negotiation.

Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together.Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another's resources and skills-wikipedia.
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994).- CL

"pairs learning through intensive synchronous joint problem solving during one or two hours, groups of students using electronic mail during a one-year course, communities of professionals developing a specific culture across generations" (Dillenbourg, 1999)
Cooperative learning is a learning approach in which students establish small mixed clusters in the classroom environment, help each other learn in an academic subject in a common sense, and are generally rewarded with different ways of cluster success. (Gömleksiz, 1997)

In my opinion; cooperative learning is to share learning.

“What are collaborative learning activities? Collaborative learning activities are structured tasks that are designed to be tackled by groups of pupils. They are often set up as problems relating to sorting and organising information. The purpose of these activities is to oblige the pupils to explore and understand the nature of the subject content by encouraging them to think and talk together. In this way pupils are supported in activating their existing knowledge and experience and in making links with the new knowledge they are acquiring. Collaborative learning activities encourage pupils to: • Be active inquiring learners • Access cognitively demanding texts and concepts • Develop thinking and language skills • Interact constructively with their peers • Relate their own experiences (cultural and linguistic) and knowledge of the world to the curriculum They encourage teachers to: • Analyse and plan learning tasks more rigorously • Design group activities which are interactive and which provide visual and contextual support • Link curriculum content with language and literacy development • Observe and evaluate pupils’ learning • Activate and build upon children’s prior knowledge and experience.”

“Collaborative learning 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. Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves. It is through the talk that learning occurs.

There are many approaches to collaborative learning:

1. Learning is an active process whereby learners assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.

2. Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.

3. Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.

4. Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.

Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.”

According to my opinion, collobrative learning is; making groups from students or teachers, every participant in the group can interact, share communicate and produce in the group. That means collabration. For example, in a group of students one can use pc well, the other can has a leadership ability, another one has good writing skills, e.t.c. In a topic leader asses them who will search the topic on web, who will collect the knowledge, who will write the presentation senario, and who will make the presentation, and who will be the presenter. That s the collabration.

1. In education, collaborative learning is a technique teachers use to group students together to impact learning in a positive way. Proponents of collaborative learning believe it helps students in many ways, as we'll see below. They theorize that working together increases learning outcomes. Collaborative learning can occur between just two students or within a larger group, and it can take a variety of forms. https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-collaborative-learning-benefits-theory-definition.html
2.Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both examples of collaborative learning. https://www.thirteen.org/edonline/concept2class/coopcollab/

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. For educationists, collaborative learning is a comprehensive term for "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together."

https://www.brighthubeducation.com/teaching-methods-tips/69801-definition-of-collaborative-learning/

In collaborative learningthe process of learning is basically more important than what is learned. Students are taught, by hands-on experience, how to learn and not what to learn. When they learn, assimilation of the material is an absolute requirement as a student must take the material, absorb it, make it his own and then present it or teach it to others. Mere memorizing will not help the collaborative learner.

Collaborative learning is not one single mechanism: if one talks about "learning from collaboration", one should also talk about "learning from being alone". Individual cognitive systems do not learn because they are individual, but because they perform some activities(reading, building, predicting, ...) which trigger some learning mechanisms (induction,deduction, compilation,...). Similarly, peers do not learn because they are two, but because they perform some activities which trigger specific learning mechanisms...
But, in addition, the interaction among subjects generates extra activities(explanation, disagreement, mutual regulation, ...) which trigger extra cognitive mechanisms(knowledge elicitation, internalisation, reduced cognitive load, ...). The field of collaborativelearning is precisely about these activities and mechanisms. These may occur more frequentlyin collaborative learning than in individual condition.

Collaborative learning is for me...a new way of learning. Students really need to share with others the knowledge; by sharing with others what they know they bond between them, and if bonding is effective, motivation appears; whihch is really the core of learning.
There are different ways of putting into practise the collaborative learning but I believe that by groups of four is the best way. Groups made of 1 high ability students, 1 lower ability student and 2 average students.. in that way none of the studetns would feel defy but encourage to mantain the level of the group... this would allow them to carry different and imaginative tasks that boost the creativity much more.

For me collaborative learning is a teaching method in which small groups of students are not simply put together and asked to do a task. In collaborative learning the most important thing is the positive interdependance, that is each student has a defined role as a member of the group and a define subtask to achieve by discussing and negotiating with the other members. So that each student has an active role in the task and consequently in his/her own learning process. Moreover they know that the objective can be achieved only if each student gives his/her contribution and cooperates with others.

DEFINITIONS

Collaborative learning (CL) is a personal philosophy, not just a classroom technique. In all situations where people come together in groups, it suggests a way of dealing with people which respects and highlights individual group members' abilities and contributions. There is a sharing of authority and acceptance of responsibility among group members for the groups actions. The underlying premise of collaborative learning is based upon consensus building through cooperation by group members, in contrast to competition in which individuals best other group members. CL practitioners apply this philosophy in the classroom, at committee meetings, with community groups, within their families and generally as a way of living with and dealing with other people. ( COLLABORATIVE VERSUS COOPERATIVE LEARNING- A COMPARISON OF THE TWO CONCEPTS WHICH WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING NATURE OF INTERACTIVE LEARNING By Ted Panitz )

Cooperative Learning is an extremely successful teaching strategy in which small teams of students (usually teams of 4) work together towards a learning goal. They may also be working with partners or the whole class.Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it.

I think collaborative learning is kids working in groups and learning from each other, putting ideas side by side. Here are some other definitions:
* Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994)
* In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged. (Smith and Mac Greggor, 1992)

collaborative learning is peer teaching, they understand their feeling and learning methods,bec. they are same

"Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). Based on this idea I may say that it is actually benefiting from the every person around you and simultaneously being beneficial for them to create a successful learning environment. It is also defined as ‘the grouping and pairing of students for the purpose of achieving an academic goal, has been widely
researched and advocated throughout the professional literature.’ (Gokhale, 1995). As teachers it is our duty to create such kind of environments.

Collaborative learning can also be described through the use of ICT technology through various collaborative tools such as Microsoft Teams or Educational Social Network Yammer etc ... Pupils are not in groups but actively collaborate online.
I used this kind of work in teaching and proved to be very successful. Teaching materials are uploaded as an application problem and then students discuss, comment, jointly handle and analyze tasks.

As I understand it, collaborative learning is that individuals with different personalities come together for a common purpose and learn a different perspective than others. The important thing is not to solve the problem, but to understand.

The most important feature of collaborative learning is that students work by helping each other learn in small groups for a common purpose.(Açıkgöz,1992:3).

Collaborative learning is a kind of learning that is provided by children working together for a common purpose.(Berk,1997).

Collaborative learning means that children can learn from each other; when they support each other and help each other to achieve their learning goals. In this kind of learning students are dependent on each other's work to achieve their goals and that motivates them to help each other. From my experience I think that peer work has more benefits than larger groups. Students are more focused this way.
Collaborative learning also includes communication, sharing and creativity. Students also learn to negotiate and plan.

Cooperative learning, which will be the primary focus of this workshop, is a specific kind of collaborative learning. In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.

Also, in cooperative learning small groups provide a place where:

learners actively participate;
teachers become learners at times, and learners sometimes teach;
respect is given to every member;
projects and questions interest and challenge students;
diversity is celebrated, and all contributions are valued;
students learn skills for resolving conflicts when they arise;
members draw upon their past experience and knowledge;
goals are clearly identified and used as a guide;
research tools such as Internet access are made available;
students are invested in their own learning.

Collaborative Learning is a relationship among learners that requires positive interdependence (a sense of sink or swim together), individual accountability (each of us has to contribute and learn), interpersonal skills (communication, trust, leadership, decision making, and conflict resolution), face-to-face promotive interaction, and processing (reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better).

Collaborative learning - the learners work in groups in order to resolve a problem. Because there is not only one method to resolving this, more people means more ways to find an answer.
Being more people, with different visions, different information and different kind of intelligence, the correct answer or the best solution can show up faster.

Students like to work together, but come across a barrier: they don´t know how to do it…
This way is our mission to provide the tools for them tod learn how to cooperate. Educator rool pass to guide through this social process. Schools prepare students for citizenship, teachers are citizens, students are citizens, by the way…they are the future society!

Definitions I found by searching on internet ;)
The word "collaboration" brings together the Latin "col-" meaning "with or together" with the Latin "labor" or toil. For educationists, collaborative learning is a comprehensive term for "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together."
(https://www.brighthubeducation.com)

Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use collaborative learning approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or mid-wives of a more emergent learning process.

Cooperative Learning can be defined as a set of classroom management techniques, whereby students work in small groups for learning activities and receive assessments based on their learning outcomes. (COMOGLIO, M., CARDOSO, M. A., Insegnare e apprendere in gruppo, LAS, Roma, 1996, p.24.)

Group work in cooperative learning is working together to achieve shared goals, within cooperative situations, where each member of the group tries to achieve results for himself and for others.

The distinction between cooperation and collaboration. According to Witney and Smallbone (2011, p.102-103), cooperation is defined as an activity, ‘‘where participants
divide the task among themselves and work independently’’, whereas collaboration is an activity that enables participants to ‘‘co-ordinate their efforts to solve a problem or accomplish a task collectively’’.

1st Definition:
A process through which learners at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. It is a learner-centred approach derived from social learning theories as well as the socio-constructivist perspective on learning. Collaborative learning is a relationship among learners that fosters positive interdependence, individual accountability, and interpersonal skills. For collaborative learning to be effective, teaching must be viewed as a process of developing and enhancing students’ ability to learn. The instructor’s role is not to transmit information, but to serve as a facilitator for learning. This involves creating and managing meaningful learning experiences and stimulating learners’ thinking through real-world problems. Yet, the task must be clearly defined and be guided by specific objectives. Sometimes cooperative and collaborative learning are used interchangeably but cooperative work usually involves dividing work among the team members, whilst collaborative work means all the team members tackle the problems together in a coordinated effort. (Adapted from: Seel 2012). ‘Collaboration’ is frequently included among key competences/competencies and 21st century skills.

2nd Definition:
Despite the term of collaborative learning (CL) has been used in a wide variety of ways across different disciplines and fields, there is a lack of consensus upon definition of the term (Jenni, R. & Mauriel, J., 2004). While there is no consensus on what CL is, there are some underlying features that will be identified.

Collaboration has become a twenty-first-century trend. The need in society to think and work together on issues of critical concern has increased (Austin, J. E., 2000; Welch, M., 1998) shifting the emphasis from individual efforts to group work, from independence to community (Leonard, P. E. & Leonard, L. J., 2001).

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. In the CL environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. In a CL setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and are actively engaged (Srinivas, H., 2011).

CL represents a significant shift away from the typical teacher-centered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Teachers who use CL approaches tend to think of themselves less as expert transmitters of knowledge to students, and more as expert designers of intellectual experiences for students-as coaches or midwives of a more emergent learning process (Smith, B. L. & MacGregor, J. T., 1992).

CL occurs when small groups of students help each other to learn. CL is sometimes misunderstood. It is not having students talk to each other, either face-to-face or in a computer conference, while they do their individual assignments. It is not having them do the task individually and then have those who finish first help those who have not yet finished. And it is certainly not having one or a few students do all the work, while the others append their names to the report (Klemm, W.R., 1994). There is persuasive evidence that cooperative teams achieve at higher levels of thought and retain information longer than learners who work quietly as individuals (Johnson, R.T. & Johnson, D.W., 1986). Further evidence comes from Samuel Totten (1991). The shared learning gives learners an opportunity to engage in discussion, take responsibility for their own learning, and thus become critical thinkers. Proponents of CL claim that the active exchange of ideas within small groups not only increases interest among the participants but also promotes critical thinking (Gokhale, A.A., 1995).

Johnson and Johnson suggested five principles of CL as (a) positive interdependence, (b) individual accountability, (c) promotive interaction, (d) appropriate use of social skills, and (e) group processing. I have really appreciated the various definitions of CL that the people involved in the course have suggested. Various performance levels; common goal , relationship among learners, positive interdependence; meaningful learning experiences, real-world problems are only a few of these incredibly important concepts. Moreover, contrasting cooperative vs collaborative approach has increased my awareness of the added value of CL approach: coordinated effort is the key principle to focus upon.

Student Teams-Success Departments (ÖTBB)

Usually four-person heterogeneous groups are formed. The teacher presents the subject with visual, auditory and material support. Students work as a team and help each other learn. The main purpose of this technique is to prepare the whole group and other group members to be successful in exams. Students work for the team and teams for the members. In the exams, if the student shows better success than before, he can earn points for his team. Thus, the student competes with him and not with other students.

Team Assisted Individualization: It is applied mostly for mathematics course and works with its own materials.

Teams are created as in ÖTBB and TOT. The students are subjected to a preliminary test to determine where to begin. Each student works with his personal material (addition, subtraction, fractional numbers, etc li.) And asks his teacher for his location. The student solves the test, has the other friend check with the answer key. If the answers are correct, an upper exercise test is given. A team score is calculated each week based on the number of units completed by the team members and the unit scores. The teams are selected as “super” “very good” and “good arak by looking at the pre-determined criteria. Those who are ir super sertifika and a very good “are given a flamboyant certificate.

* Understanding the common recognition and the nature of the problem
* Communication, negotiation and exchange for a plan to solve the problem
* Coordinated action for the realization of the plan
* Monitoring process

From Barbara Leigh Smith and Jean T. MacGregor’s study on collaborative learning:

Collaborative learning covers a broad territory of approaches with wide variability in the amount of in-class or out-of-class time built around group work. Collaborative activities can range from classroom discussions interspersed with short lectures, through entire class periods, to study on research teams that last a whole term or year.

Cooperative learning represents the most carefully structured end of the collaborative learning continuum. Defined as “the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning” (Johnson et al. 1990), cooperative learning is based on the social interdependence theories of Kurt Lewin and Morton Deutsch (Deutsch, 1949; Lewin, 1935).

“The most effective creative process alternates between time in groups, collaboration, interaction, and conversation... [and] times of solitude, where something different happens cognitively in your brain,” says Dr. Keith Sawyer, a researcher on creativity and collaboration, and author of Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration.https://www.edutopia.org/article/group-work-works
Collaborative learning is commonly illustrated when groups of students work together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions or to create an artifact or product of their learning. Further, collaborative learning redefines traditional student-teacher relationship in the classroom because activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, joint problem solving, debates, study teams, and other activities in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project.https://www.teacherswithapps.com/the-differences-in-cooperative-learning-collaborative-learning/

According to Gerlach Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves.(1994)
Smith and MacGregor say that CL is an active process whereby students assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.(1992)

According to Açıkgöz, cooperative learning, is a learning approach in which students are rewarded in different ways by helping them to learn each other in an academic subject, creating small mixed groups in a classroom environment. (2000)
 According to Slavin (1988); cooperative learning as a concept; This course includes the teaching methods in which students are rewarded in different forms, usually in small groups of 2-6 people.

When I brainstormed what co-learning is for me it is: working together to solve a problem, with shared responsibility for the outcome and for each other's work.... I also like the term "interdependent".
1) In search for defintions I found "how students interact with each another is a neglected aspect of instruction" (http://www.co-operation.org/what-is-cooperative-learning/) and realized how true that is. On the same page I also found that co-operative learning is "working togehter to achieve shared learning goals and complete jointly specific tasks and assignments" (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 2008).
2) On a another page (https://www2.ed.gov/pubs/OR/ConsumerGuides/cooplear.html) I found also an interesting definition: "Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement.".

Collaborative learning
"...is a concept that defines a theoretical and research area of great interest and strong identity. Although the issue of intellectual cooperation has a long tradition in the field of research for psychology and education (Melero Zabal & Fernández Berrocal, 1995; Roselli, 1999a; Rodriguez Barreiro, Fernández, Escudero & Sabirón, 2000; Barkley, Croos & Major, 2007; Strijbos & Fischer, 2007), regularly associated with the idea of working in a group or team, only in the decade of the 80’s and specially the 90’s, the idea gains a new impetus, giving rise to the epistemic field recognized as collaborative learning."

Collaborative learning
"... is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product.

Collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from the typical teachercentered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material.

Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together.^[1] Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another's resources and skills (asking one another for information, evaluating one another's ideas, monitoring one another's work, etc.).^[2]^[3] More specifically, collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetric roles.^[4] Put differently, collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task where each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. These include both face-to-face conversations^[5] and computer discussions (online forums, chat rooms, etc.).^[6] Methods for examining collaborative learning processes include conversation analysis and statistical discourse analysis.^[7]

Thus, collaborative learning is commonly illustrated when groups of students work together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions or to create an artifact or product of their learning. Furthermore, collaborative learning redefines the traditional student-teacher relationship in the classroom which results in controversy over whether this paradigm is more beneficial than harmful.^[8]^[9] Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, joint problem solving, debates, study teams, and other activities. The approach is closely related to cooperative learning.

Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. It involves use of small groups so that all students can maximise their learning and that of their peers. It is a process of shared creation: two of more individuals interacting to create a shared understanding of a concept, discipline or area of practice that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own. Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, and other activities.

The term “collaborative learning” refers to an instruction method in which students at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. Collaborative learning is a relationship among learners that fosters positive interdependence, individual accountability, and interpersonal skills.
(Anu A. Gokhale, 2012)
Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups through which students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning (Johnson et al. 1994). It is related to collaborative learning, which emphasizes that learning occurs as an effect of community (Johson and Johnson 1999). It is, however, contrasted with individualistic and competitive learning in which students work by themselves to accomplish learning goals that are not related to others, and compete with each other for grades (Johnson et al. 1998). There are three types of cooperative learning. The first type is formal cooperative learning which consists of students working together, for one class period or several weeks, to achieve a joint learning goals and complete tasks assigned. The second type is informal cooperative learningwhich includes students working together to achieve shared learning goals...

Pierre Dillenbourg 'collaborative learning' is that it is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Each element of this definition can be interpreted in different ways: • "two or more" may be interpreted as a pair, a small group (3-5 subjects), a class (20-30 subjects), a community (a few hundreds or thousands of people), a society (several thousands or millions of people)... and all intermediate levels. 2 • "learn something" may be interpreted as "follow a course", "study course material", "perform learning activities such as problem solving", "learn from lifelong work practice", .... • "together" may be interpreted as different forms of interaction: face-to-face or computermediated, synchronous or not, frequent in time or not, whether it is a truly joint effort or whether the labour is divided in a systematic way. Dillenbourg P. (1999) What do yuo mean by collaborative leraning?. In P. Dillenbourg (Ed) Collaborative-learning: Cognitive and Computational Approaches. (pp.1-19). Oxford: Elsevier

Collaborative learning has a special strength about combining of participants ideas in team work.
It is a type of collaborative learning that involves students working in pairs or small groups to discuss concepts or find solutions to problems. Similar to the idea that two or three heads are better than one, educational researchers have found that through peer instruction, students teach each other by addressing misunderstandings and clarifying misconceptions.
(https://teaching.cornell.edu/teaching-resources/engaging-students/collaborative-learning)
Cooperative learning is characterized by positive interdependence, where students perceive that better performance by individuals produces better performance by the entire group (Johnson, et al., 2014) (https://wp0.vanderbilt.edu/cft/guides-sub-pages/setting-up-and-facilitating-group-work-using-cooperative-learning-groups-effectively/).

The very dictionary definition of collaboration will tell us what collaborative learning means.

For educationists, collaborative learning is a comprehensive term for "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together."¹

Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both examples of collaborative learning.
In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.
In small groups, students can share strengths and also develop their weaker skills. They develop their interpersonal skills. They learn to deal with conflict. When cooperative groups are guided by clear objectives, students engage in numerous activities that improve their understanding of subjects explored.

Also, in cooperative learning small groups provide a place where:

learners actively participate;
teachers become learners at times, and learners sometimes teach;
respect is given to every member;
projects and questions interest and challenge students;
diversity is celebrated, and all contributions are valued;
students learn skills for resolving conflicts when they arise;
members draw upon their past experience and knowledge;
goals are clearly identified and used as a guide;
research tools such as Internet access are made available;
students are invested in their own learning.

The reader will not be surprised to learn that our group did not agree on any definition of collaborative learning. We did not even try. There is such a wide variety of uses of this term inside each academic field, and a fortiori, across the fields. Moreover, the task force activities did not include a specific task which would have forced members to converge on a shared understanding of 'collaborative learning'. Instead, we shared a broad interest in multidisciplinary interactions, which was reified in this book. Hence, I review the variety of approaches to 'collaborative learning' that were present in our group. When a word becomes fashionable - as it is the case with "collaboration" - it is often used abusively for more or less anything. The problem with such an over-general usage is two-fold. Firstly, it is nonsense to talk about the cognitive effects ('learning') of 'collaborative' situations if any situation can be labelled 'collaborative'. Secondly, it is difficult to articulate the contributions of various authors who use the same word very differently. Therefore, I explore various aspects of this definition, not in order to establish 'the' correct definition of collaborative learning, but in order to help the reader to put the different chapters in perspective. I will not review the chapters here, the reader might prefer to read them before reading this introduction. The broadest (but unsatisfactory) definition of 'collaborative learning' is that it is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Each element of this definition can be interpreted in different ways: • "two or more" may be interpreted as a pair, a small group (3-5 subjects), a class (20-30 subjects), a community (a few hundreds or thousands of people), a society (several thousands or millions of people)... and all intermediate levels. 2 • "learn something" may be interpreted as "follow a course", "study course material", "perform learning activities such as problem solving", "learn from lifelong work practice", .... • "together" may be interpreted as different forms of interaction: face-to-face or computermediated, synchronous or not, frequent in time or not, whether it is a truly joint effort or whether the labour is divided in a systematic way. These three elements of the definition define the space of what is encountered under the label 'collaborative learning': pairs learning through intensive synchronous joint problem solving during one or two hours, groups of students using electronic mail during a one-year course, communities of professionals developing a specific culture across generations, ... I explore this space along three dimensions: the scale of the collaborative situation (group size and time span), what is referred to as 'learning' and what is referred to as 'collaboration'.

Collaboration is the power behind humanity’s giant leaps like Sputnik 1, Apollo 11, documents in library of Alexandria, building Pyramids. Collaborative learning is helping each other to develop with all ways. In the collaborative learning process students work together and try to find solutions to a problem. In that group working students can talk in their own language that is based on friendship, perspective or popular culture. “collaborative learning” refers to an instruction method in which students at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The students are responsible for one another’s learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one student helps other students to be successful (Gokhale, 1995). Also collaborative learning is a way to remove the barriers between students. Cooperative Learning is a method that creates a successful learning environment for all of these children: disabled and nondisabled youth, minority and majority students, and students of varying cultural backgrounds (Holm, 1987).

Students’ learning goals may be structured to promote cooperative, competitive, or individualistic efforts. In every classroom, instructional activities are aimed at accomplishing goals and are conducted under a goal structure. A learning goal is a desired future state of demonstrating competence or mastery in the subject area being studied. The goal structure specifies the ways in which students will interact with each other and the teacher during the instructional session. Each goal structure has its place (Johnson & Johnson, 1989, 1999). In the ideal classroom, all students would learn how to work cooperatively with others, compete for fun and enjoyment, and work autonomously on their own. The teacher decides which goal structure to implement within each lesson. The most important goal structure, and the one that should be used the majority of the time in learning situations, is cooperation

Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within cooperative situations, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and beneficial to all other group members. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. It may be contrasted with competitive (students work against each other to achieve an academic goal such as a grade of “A” that only one or a few students can attain) andindividualistic (students work by themselves to accomplish learning goals unrelated to those of the other students) learning. In cooperative and individualistic learning, you evaluate student efforts on a criteria-referenced basis while in competitive learning you grade students on a norm-referenced basis. While there are limitations on when and where you may use competitive and individualistic learning appropriately, you may structure any learning task in any subject area with any curriculum cooperatively.http://www.co-operation.org/what-is-collaborative-learning

3.1 What is collaborative learning

Definitions:

1. "By its very definition, collaborative learning, takes the power away from the teacher as "guru" and distributes that power among the students as self-sustaining, motivated "learners" who take ownership and responsibility of the entire process of leaning in an interactive, "talking-to-each-other" and engaged manner. The teacher becomes merely a facilitator, an "expert designer" of a student's intellectual process and a "mid-wife of a more emergent learning process." *

2. "For educationists, collaborative learning is a comprehensive term for "a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together." *

Cooperative learning is a teaching method where students of mixed levels of ability are arranged into groups and rewarded according to the group's success, rather than the success of an individual member. Cooperative learning structures have been in and out of favor in American education since the early 1900s, when they were introduced by the American education reformer John Dewey.

Cooperative learning is fun, so students enjoy it and are more motivated.
Cooperative learning is interactive, so students are engaged, active participants in the learning.
Cooperative learning allows discussion and critical thinking, so students learn more and remember what they've learned for a longer period of time.
Cooperative learning requires students to learn to work together, which is an important skill for their futures.

"Collaborative learning platform focuses on enabling the next level of collaboration central to modern teaching and learning. The right platform brings together people, learning content, and insights. Technology can play a pivotal role in creating personalized learning spaces that address students' social and emotional needs. It also gives educators the ability to personalize learning with the right collaborative learning platform. Students are empowered to work together with interactive, visually rich experiences that build skills and deepen understanding." Microsoft in Education

Angela, Italy Cooperative learning is a type of learning based on the interaction within a group of students working together toward a common goal. Collaborative learning is, also, a form of relationship among students that promotes positive interdependence, individual accountability. the teacher's role is not to provide information, but to act as a facilitator for learning.

According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both examples of collaborative learning.
In cooperative learning, students work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.
In small groups, students can share strengths and also develop their weaker skills. They develop their interpersonal skills. They learn to deal with conflict. When cooperative groups are guided by clear objectives, students engage in numerous activities that improve their understanding of subjects explored.

Also, in cooperative learning small groups provide a place where:

learners actively participate;
teachers become learners at times, and learners sometimes teach;
respect is given to every member;
projects and questions interest and challenge students;
diversity is celebrated, and all contributions are valued;
students learn skills for resolving conflicts when they arise;
members draw upon their past experience and knowledge;
goals are clearly identified and used as a guide;
research tools such as Internet access are made available;
students are invested in their own learning.

There are many approaches to collaborative learning. A set of assumptions about the learning process (Smith and MacGregor, 1992) underlies them all:

Learning is an active process whereby students assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge.Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.Learners benefit when exposed to diverse viewpoints from people with varied backgrounds.Learning flourishes in a social environment where conversation between learners takes place. During this intellectual gymnastics, the learner creates a framework and meaning to the discourse.

In the collaborative learning environment, the learners are challenged both socially and emotionally as they listen to different perspectives, and are required to articulate and defend their ideas. In so doing, the learners begin to create their own unique conceptual frameworks and not rely solely on an expert's or a text's framework. Thus, in a collaborative learning setting, learners have the opportunity to converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.Collaborative learning processes can be incorporated into a typical 50-minute class in a variety of ways. Some require a thorough preparation, such as a long-term project, while others require less preparation, such as posing a question during lecture and asking students to discuss their ideas with their neighbors (see concept tests). As Smith and MacGregor state, "In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students' discussion and active work with the course material." Regardless of the specific approach taken or how much of the ubiquitous lecture-based course is replaced, the goal is the same: to shift learning from a teacher-centered to a student-centered model.

Collaborative learning means that students work together to achieve a common goal, sharing ideas, responsibilities, and knowledge, while actively supporting each other’s learning process.

Two additional definitions:

According to Oxford University Press, collaborative learning is “an approach to teaching and learning in which learners work together in small groups to achieve a shared goal.”
According to Edutopia, collaborative learning involves “students working in pairs or groups to solve problems, complete tasks, or create products, with a focus on interaction and shared responsibility.”

A related term is cooperative learning, which is often more structured, where each student has a specific role within the group to ensure participation and accountability.
