Abstract
Background: Collaborative learning(CL) is a shift away from the typical teacher-centered or lecture centered milieu in college classrooms. CL is an education approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Objectives: To study the impact of CL on academic performance and perception among I year MBBS students. Materials and Methods: Students were divided into two groups, study group (n=50) and control group (n=50). Pretest consisting of Multiple Choice Question’s(MCQ’s) and Short Answer Question’s(SAQ’s) were given to both the groups. The study group was exposed to the CL method. After the learning is over the post-test was given to both the groups. Focus group discussion was done to the study group after the post-test. Results: The pre-test score was 8.55 and the post-test score was 12.85 which was statistically significant (p< 0.05). The perception of CL using Focus Group Discussion was satisfactory. Interpretation and Conclusion: CL leads to better achievements and thus improves the critical thinking, self directed learning, communication and leadership skills among the students.
