Personally, I think you can benefit greatly from active learning as memorizing information for exams isn’t as beneficial long-term. Studying actively involves thinking about what you’re doing and why rather than copying notes or reading. Actively working using different techniques, insuring that you know the topic well and are able to understand all aspects and theories rather than just being able to write everything you’ve memorized down for an exam. Additionally, I think that active learning is a lot more motivating and less passive. Eventually, this method should result in more self-confidence in your own work, development and knowledge. I think, that active learning promotes more learning through team work activities, further improving cognitive development.

Co-operative working holds many benefits. For example, the ability to work in a team to reach a common goal is very important in today’s society, in jobs, etc. Additionally, it enables development in social skills which are essential for life. Working co-operatively enhances your learning as you can learn from each other and grow professionally, having team members you can receive help from is also very beneficial. Skills in leadership and communication can be learnt and developed through frequent group work. Being able to think as a team and build decision making skills are more benefits that arise from co-operative learning.
