How does Peer learning help you improve your grades?

Peer learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves small groups of students and teachers working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Peer learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants interact among themselves. It is through the interaction that learning occurs.

Peer Learning tends to attain a higher level of learning, preserving information longer - enough to be retained by the students as opposed to their experience of learning individually. This is mostly because groups learn through clarification of ideas, evaluation of other ideas furthered by discussions that are retained in their long term memory. Research by Webb suggests that those who have worked on math computational problems collaboratively have earned higher scores. Students who have attained lower achievement formerly, now performed better when they worked in a heterogeneous group.

LearnTeachWorld is a global community of Students and Teachers which helps each other Learn. Students are assured of getting the best knowledge from their peers and teachers through collaborative and interactive learning.

LearnTeachWorld also allows Students to post questions and have other teachers and students around the world to answer them. Students acknowledge the answers or solutions by upvoting them, liking them or following them. Students can also follow other students and teachers and get notified when they post anything on LearnTeachWorld.

LearnTeachWorld allows GroupDiscussionswhere students and teachers can discuss specific subjects/topics. Study groups on LearnTeachWorld can be PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. A Study group interacts with each other through messages, whiteboard and audio/video calls from within LearnTeachWorld.
