Collaboration is when a group of people come together to work and contribute ideas on a project, objective or mission.
When studying, often collaborating is a useful tool to share ideas and knowledge. It often assists with problem-solving, helps us learn from one another, sparks new ideas and often opens up new channels of thought and inspiration which alone we may not have been able to think of or achieve.
Here are four resources to work collaboratively when studying:
1. It leads to a higher retention rate – collaboration lays the foundation for a more open and connected conversation.
2. We can learn from one another – as bio individuals we all work and think differently, therefore, when we collaborate we each bring a different skill set and background to the table which enables us to learn different perspectives. Ideas and concepts which we may not have thought of.
3. Helps groups to problem solve – when working in teams or in a collaborative situation we can often bounce ideas off each other and find solution to problems which we may need to solve.
4. Creates flexibility and creativity – collaboration and teamwork allows for more reactivity and versatility conversation.
So next time you’re working on a project or studying for an upcoming test, considering collaborating with team members. Coming together to brainstorm ideas and share knowledge not only can increase your productivity, but it can help with problem solving.
It is also important to remember that beyond your studies collaborating in the workplace and working together is also an important tool and asset.
