Collaborative learning

David Wendt

With the introduction of the new education model, collaboration has taken on a more central role in Utrecht University education. But working together is something you have to learn. And as a teacher, you also have to know how cooperation adds something. How do we actually do that? And did you know that students can also learn a lot by working together in education? 

In the light of the new educational model, this workshop, based on experiences in the bachelor of law, will address the question of how we teach students to cooperate, and how collaborative learning can enhance the student's learning process.
