Education system now a days promotes collaborative work among learners. During classroom discussion, learners are given time to work together with their peers or classmates. The teacher then will give instruction on what should they do as a team. Some teachers even prepare differentiated activities to let the learners choose what activity they are interested to do. By doing this, learners has a feeling of belongingness in school. They tend to produce excellent outputs after working together becuase they involve themselves in doing the given task to them.
This is just one of the approaches that a teacher can integrate to promote life-long-learning among learners. The intellectual ability of the learners are being tested as they practice working as a group because they will be able to share their own knowledge and understanding among their groupmates. Also, they can do brainstorming to better understand some points that are not clear to them. In addition, as they do group activities, we teachers can also promote to our learners the concept of decision making becuase they need to strategize to finish the task in a given time.
In conclusion, I agree that it is really important to integrate group activities in class to help every learners to become holistically equipped. I also believe that by doing this, we can also help each learner to develop their social and communication skills.
