Because they want to see if we are actively participating and interacting with each other

It is because they want us to be more confident and be able to engage with different people stepping outside of our comfort zone, as well and trying to meet some possibly who are share similar interests to us.
During these moments, there is a bit of awkwardness at first but then once you can start of the conversation it is pretty depending on of course the person your talking to.
This is quite beneficial as it allows people to not only try to find similar views or interests but also trying to agree on something during the discussion. Which is quite important as trying to make sure everyone can agree and relate to something. It is also extremely useful as students can make new friends who have similar interests.

As different students have different views, they can critically discuss their opinions on a specific topic learnt from the lessons. Students can reflect on others’ views that they could not think of.

They are mostly engaged, actively listening and interpreting different views.
