Brugee

I don't have much a response to this, mostly because I agree with everything that's said.

I especially agree with where he speaks of the importance of introspection. It seems me that many students are focused on learning about the opinions. Understanding various perspectives is one thing; internalizing those perspectives to increase self understanding is much different. I feel collaborative learning allows for the sharing of perspectives among students, but it can often stop short of aiding the student in applying knowledge to themselves. The whole point of gaining wisdom and insight is understand yourself. More emphasis should be placed on this aspect of collaborative learning since the learning style is the perfect set up for allowing students to gain the insight by learning from example.
