Impact of Collaborative Learning on Student`s Academic Performance in Teacher’s Education Program

Abstract

Creating a classroom environment for learners to participate actively and engage is an integral element of a comprehensive educational initiative for actively learning students in higher education institutions. Students collaborate to attain goals through collaborative learning. The idea behind collaborative learning is that students may help each other learn and build a deeper comprehension of the subject matter by working together. The study examines the influence of collaborative learning on the academic performance of students at B.Ed. Levels focusing on social factors such as interaction with peers, interaction with teachers, and social media usage influence CL and collaborative learning to improve the student's academic performance. Social constructivism theory was used to observe student performance. Data have been collected through questionnaires from four private universities. Findings were evaluated through SPSS version 22; the composite reliability of the instrument was measured as α=0.954. The results of the regression analysis confirmed and accepted all three hypotheses. It can be concluded that all three independent variables - student interaction with peers, interaction with teachers, and social media use- positively impact collaborative learning and help students improve their academic performance and achieve their goals. The results of this study suggest that collaborative learning is an effective approach to enhancing academic Performance in higher education (B.Ed. Honors) and that social factors play an important role in promoting collaboration among students. The findings have implications for teaching and learning practices in higher education, where collaborative learning may be especially beneficial. Overall, this research highlights the importance of collaborative learning in promoting academic development in students.
