A generic term for a variety of educational strategies for peer learning, not specific to one-on-one education.

Students and teacher giving each other praise.

Advantages

• Give students the opportunity to connect with others.

• Peers can help each other.
• Can create friendships in and out of the classroom.
• Learn from different view points.

Children in Africa collaborating effectively.

Disadvantages

• Conflicts can arise.
• Distractions can occur
• Some student prefer to work alone.

Although all students have different paths, they all ultimately would like to understand the lesson, learn from it and apply it in the next class session. With the help of their peers, they could be able too have things explained to them again or exercised a different way. Collaborative learning around the world is beneficial to all students in their own unique ways.

Thank you!
