Introduction

Collaborative learning is an instructional approach that involves students working together to learn. By working in groups, students can share ideas, support each other, and develop critical thinking skills. Collaborative learning has been shown to be effective in promoting student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement.

This study aims to investigate the following research questions:

• How does collaborative learning impact student achievement?

• What are the most effective collaborative learning strategies?

• What factors contribute to the success of collaborative learning?

By addressing these questions, this research will provide valuable insights into the benefits of collaborative learning and its potential to improve student outcomes. The findings of this study can be used to inform the design and implementation of effective collaborative learning activities in higher education.
