The Study How the Collaborative Learning Improve Student’s Achievement at Higher Level

Abstract

 This study demonstrate how collaborative learning approach affect or improve student’s achievement. The study was directed by three objectives and three research questions. Survey studies and mix-method approaches were among them. Examining in-depth papers that emphasize collaborative learning to raise student accomplishment is the goal of this study. The effect of collaborative learning (CL) on critical thinking abilities has been the subject of numerous studies. Later, this study also looked into how students felt about CL. A combination of methods was used. As the samples are chosen participants for a quantitative inquiry, 225 students 101 male and 124 females from an education department at a university were included. The quantitative data were analyzed using independent sample t-test, mean, stander deviation, degree of freedom, t value, two tailed p value and the qualitative data were analyzed using an interactive model of analysis. The results showed that CL significantly and favorably affected students' academic performance. The students believed that CL improved their emotional intelligence, motivation to learn, cognitive growth, and open-mindedness. However, the most popular tools for gathering and analyzing research data were the t-test, ANOVA and ANCOVA. In light of the study's findings, a number of suggestions have been made for further research, chief among them the necessity of broadening the range of study designs that emphasize critical and creative thinking abilities. Qualitative studies on the growth of critical and creative thinking abilities must be conducted more frequently. Researchers are advised to select a more suitable data analysis method.
