Abstract

The benefits of the collaborative work can be substantial. It has been proven that students learn the best when they are directly involved in the learning process. Therefore, students involved in a group work tend to learn more than those involved in lectures, for instance.
There are many problems, however, associated with collaborative learning. In each case an attempt to solve them should be taken.
