Small Learning Groups
In small groups, participants often feel more comfortable contributing their ideas, asking questions, and engaging in discussions. This increased participation can lead to deeper learning and understanding of the material.
It provides personalized attention, collaborative activities, increased motivation and opportunities for peer teaching. Instructors can adjust the pace, content and activities to accommodate different learning preferences and abilities with the group.
Overall, small learning groups offer a conducive environment for active learning, collaboration, and personal growth, contributing to a richer and more fulfilling educational experience for students.
