COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Role Differentiation: Getting Study Groups to Work
- Select a maximum of six classmates to join the study group. If it is too large, it tends to be ineffective.
- Establish a purpose for the study group. Some possible purposes are:
- Exchange lecture notes
- Prepare for tests
- Discuss the material in the text and/or in class
- Share the reading load
- Critique each other's assignments
- Create possible test questions
- Organize the study group:
- Agree to a specific location
- Determine a specific time
- Decide if the study group will meet on a regular basis throughout the semester or just meet prior to exams
- Select a leader who is responsible for making sure all members of the group knows what they must do to participate and /or what they must bring to the next meeting
- Decide on the responsibilities that each member must agree to in order to stay in the group
- After each test in the course the group should meet to evaluate the effectiveness of the study group for helping the members to prepare for it and learn the material.
