Collaboration Can Teach us New Things

Having a strong desire to learn is necessary for our education. Sometimes we may struggle either retaining information or processing new ideas. It is normal and acceptable for that to happen. When we feel that we need additional help, working with others is a good way to do so. If we feel that there is a subject we need to work on more, we can reach out to our peers to help us. One way to do this is by starting a study group. The benefit to this is that each member can contribute their own knowledge to the situation and help out one another. Learning in a group has the added benefit of providing motivation toward each member involved which is good as it promotes positivity. New ideas can expand our mind and this is only possible by having multiple perspectives which occur naturally within group settings.

Collaboration Helps us Perform Better

Self-efficacy is something that many of us strive to work towards. This can include other elements within it such as independence and individual performance. In order to be our best possible self, we need to recognize when we need to work with others to help our own performance. There are many things we may not know how to do. This is where others come in to help us. Having a tutor work with you on certain assignments for example can help improve your grades. It can also let you improve core areas within your education such as reading or writing with the proper help. Doing our best is a good thing and we may need additional resources or people to help us with doing so. It's important to remember that collaboration is needed as it can help us perform better.

Collaboration Reminds us we Need Others

We need others for many reasons. We each have a different skillset and that is only more evident the more we spend time with people. In group settings, some may be more inclined to a leadership position while others may be more proactive with what tasks they are assigned to. We need this dynamic as it is impossible to do everything by ourselves. Independence is a good thing and collaboration is just as important. We may not be able to see how our contribution matters in the moment but when we scale back and look at things from a broader perspective, our work and efforts do matter, and so do others. We need people to help us when we are unsure of how to do a task and they equally may require the same. As students, we're in this together and it's good to help ourselves and others in achieving their goals.
