No More Chalk and Talk!

4. Why is Collaborative Learning so Important?
Research has proven that Collaborative Learning:
Engages students beyond reading, listening, and note-taking
Increases critical thinking skills
Fuels long-term memory retention
Enhances quick concept absorption
Promotes educational ownership
Builds communication competencies

5. Research Based Rule The Rule of 10 & 2 Maximum: 10 Minutes of Lecture
Minimum: 2 Minutes of Collaboration

6. Research Indicates
Learning is optimized when students are actively engaged in the process. Research on instruction shows that most of us remember:
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we both see and hear
70% of what we have discussed with others
80% of what we have experienced personally
95% of what we teach someone else

7. Collaborative Activity
How long have I been lecturing?
Take out your Gray sheet…

11. Types of Learning Styles
There are many different types of learning inventories, but three main learning styles:
Visual
Audio
Tactile/Kinesthetic
By integrating collaborative learning, you will automatically be appealing
to different learning styles.

12. Tips for Different Learning Styles
Pink Sheet
Auditory: Record a Summary of What you have learned (Group Discussions: The role of the scribe)
Visual: Take notes, make pictures of
concepts, create graphs, and create charts
(Group Concept Maps: Colored Markers and
a white board)
Kinesthetic/Tactile: Use models, real
objects, create using technology, and
materials that can be touched
and moved. (Small Groups: Acting out a
Concept)

13. Hand-Outs Different Types of Learning Style Inventories
Yellow: 2 Copies- Basic Inventory
Orange and Purple: More in-depth
Inventories
Know your own learning style: Complete one of the Yellow sheets and discuss with your
Neighbor.
Do you feel the inventory is correct? Why/Not?
