This document compares traditional and collaborative learning methods. In traditional methods, the teacher is the sole educator and students are passive receivers of information. In collaborative methods, both the teacher and students actively participate in the learning process. Students have defined goals, draw from multiple sources of information, and communicate ideas bidirectionally. Evaluation focuses on helping students understand problems and improve. A survey found that collaborative teaching led to more creativity and better student performance compared to traditional teaching where students merely memorized facts and teachers were less satisfied.

1. Collaborative vs. traditional
learning

2. Teaching method is:
 The chain of procedures done by the teacher inside the
class room.
 The old (traditional) method
mainly depends on the teacher without the student
participating in it, and the student is just a receiver for
information that the teacher presents to him…
without letting him be a part of it.

4. The modern teaching method :
 an interactive method which depends on the
teacher as well as the student, since the student
receives and sends information in the class.

8. The effects of old method on the
student:
 1.A receiver of information only.
 2.Not allowed to participate.
 3.Depends on memory only

9. Modern teaching effects:
 1.Plays a positive role.
 2.The student is sender and a receiver of information.
 3. The student is allowed to say his own opinion.

10. Is it Really worth!!
 Survey : “ at At-teba school – Jeneen”
its proofed at 30 teachers as a fifty fifty division…
the result was that the collaborative teachers was
excellent, satisfied and the students performance
seems creativity
on the other hand the old learning teachers
themselves cannot give a good response and there is
no improvement in students performance.
