Advantages and

disadvantages of

collaborative learning

8th October 2020

Collaborative learning is a new teaching method where people learn in small

groups or teams allowing them to consolidate their knowledge on the

concept being discussed. We've already covered what collaborative learning

is on our blog. There are many advantages and a few disadvantages to this

method of collaborative learning. We are going to explain the pros and cons

of this method of learning below.

opportunity for group learning, someone within the group may have the

opportunity to explain something to another student that a teacher or

lecturer has struggled to explain to the same student.

Someone may be in charge of the group

In group situations the best case scenario is that no one is in charge and

everyone works together to complete the task. In some groups it may be the

case that someone decides to be in charge or become the leader of the

group, which can cause group tension. Teachers and lecturers can stop

students being put in charge of groups by stating it at the start of the task

and by encouraging other people in the group to get involved.

Some groups may struggle if they don’t have group work skills

If people have never worked in groups before, they won’t have the skills to

work together. Teachers and lecturers should help initially by explaining the

task and the aims of the group work required. This should help spark the

conversation on the required task.

Social loafing/ introverts may struggle

Social loafing is when someone in group working situations puts in less effort

than the rest of the team. This can often happen when there are people who

are in charge (of the group) that they don’t get on well with or the people

don’t get on well within the group. Introverts can also struggle in groups to

get their voice heard. Teachers or lecturers are told to put people that are

introverts or tend to be social loafers in groups they will work well in, but also

encourage them along the way.
