Reflection #5

Team work is work performed by a group of people who come and work together. The quantity of team work may be measured by analyzing the effectiveness of the collaborative and cooperative learning in the following ways: communication, collaboration, balance of contributions and effort. Decreasing the quantity of students in a better way, which can give them the opportunity to share their strengths and recognize their weaker skills. The characteristics, those are required in a cooperative learning environment are safety and team work but it also needed to be seized to a smaller size.

Collaborative learning is a way to reveal information and gain knowledge as a team to explore a pivoted question or dig into a deeper source of information. Cooperative is basically the same thing as collaborative learning but s branch that gives the students the needs to work together but think differently. Because they are all a different piece of the puzzle, they are account able for their own worth. Both cooperative and collaborative learning are a good way of learning because it gives students the opportunity to increase their knowledge life skills, and to help them to think as an individual and to combine knowledge as a whole.

Suppose a group of students were discussing Romeo and Juliet, the students would share their insights and their points of view on the story. That would be a good example of collaborative learning because the students are working as a whole but thinking as one. Although each student thinks differently, together they have one purpose. The muscles of the heart beat at their own rhythms but beat at once. New Maranatha Evangelical Baptist Church and Philadelphia Baptist Church are also an example of collaborative learning. The members at New Maranatha Evangelical Baptist Church and Philadelphia Baptist Church get together as one to learn about God (the Bible) and to teach others about the words of God.
Whenever New Maranatha Evangelical has a conference, Philadelphia Church closes his church to collaborate with them. And Maranatha does the same for Philadelphia Church. This is mostly like a project. The members of both churches invite friends and family to the conference. At the conference, the people will take notes and later on ask questions. The learners will learn by participating. The pastors become learners at time, and the learners become leaders.
