What is

Collaborative Pedagogy

Collaborative pedagogy is a type of learning theory where students work with their peers to find solutions to problems. Using peer instruction, students may teach one another and, in the process, clarify their own misconceptions. Interpersonal engagement and peer-to-peer interaction are at the heart of collaborative pedagogy. Collaborative pedagogy can help promote a greater sense of belonging among students, expose students to diverse points of view and equip learners with the soft skills needed for their careers.

Collaborative pedagogy refers to the idea that the best learning happens in small groups or pairs. As opposed to absorbing information in isolation, students work together to solve complex problems or complete learning activities. Educators step aside and let partners or groups self-direct their own learning process. Put to practice, the collaborative pedagogy model may involve students developing a business strategy for an organization of their choosing.
