Simple Like That !

Group work can harness the natural propensity of humans to interact, and—most important—make learning for a wide variety of students more engaging, memorable, and equitable.
Recent research by neuroscientists points to the existence of a “social brain” that enables humans to interact with each other. They identified four regions of the brain associated with functions that allow humans to “read” others’ states of mind and predict what they will do.
Consensus that work on the social brain does argue for expanding the group learning and cooperative learning projects in schools. We can work together to achieve more than the sum of the individuals in the group. This is because we can share experiences.
Group work can also work against factors known to inhibit learning, such as the fear of making mistakes or becoming discouraged.
Group work can also increase engagement because individuals can be assigned roles that allow them to be “experts in something,” so that they can be challenged at a level appropriate to their understanding.

Através de jogos dramáticos é possível fomentar, junto dos alunos, uma excelente plataforma imaginativa, uma excelente preparação para lidar com as contingências da comunidade, favorecendo o trabalho cooperativo, o auto-conceito, a confiança no outro e a criatividade.
