Why co-operation, not competition, works!
|
|
|
Hello,
Most experienced trainers and faciliators naturally encourage their learners to learn
together - whether it's in pairs, consultancy trios, small groups, or as a whole
group - size permitting! Co-operative learning appeals both to our Interpersonal
and Intrapersonal intelligences (Gardner, Harvard).
Here's 5 reasons why we encourage our groups to co-operate, and not
compete, in the learning environment: provides a multi-sensory memory link; can
be used to access all intelligences; serves as a useful reminder where
points may have been missed; motivational in reminding learners how much they
have learned; and invariably humorous, providing a positive emotional state.

When Stella founded our unique development community, the
Brain Friendly Learning
Group, in 2007, a significant aim was to encourage co-operation between
learning and communication professionals, so that we all benefit from learning
together. As we go to print, the BFLG
Forum has just
been launched, and participation is for members only.

Maximising Impact Works!!
Regular readers of Training Journal may have seen the very favourable review of
our unique 1-day introduction to the entire brain friendly model.
David Apparicio, FITOL, said "As a seasoned presenter, I was refreshingly
surprised at how much I got from the day. It renewed my excitement about how
engaging and inspiring I can make my presentations.
Maximising
Impact works". Read the full review

of how NOT to set up meeting and learning environments!)
