Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the effects of collaborative learning environment across different cultural settings. Learning in a collaborative environment teaches us how to quickly adapt and be successful in new areas of interest. Perseverance is one of the main skills that aids learners a lot as they move forward towards achieving their goals. Strong sense of efficacy can enhance accomplishment in different ways. Self-discipline, self-direction and self-motivation are few abilities that must be prioritized by learners. Learners need to pay attention to every detail in order to evaluate given evidences and find out if those evidences actually relate with a conclusion. Details may include trends, cause and effect relationships between different variables, concrete examples and sequence of events. Understanding different relationships such as power-authority and learner-teacher within higher education are highly important for academic and professional success.
