Imagine that a professor requires students to learn as much as possible about a subject in a short period of life. Is it better for the professor to require students to work together in a group or is it better to require students to work alone?
It is conceivable that every teacher all hopes their students can learn most in the class. Therefore, this raises the question that it is better for students to work together or work alone. I take the position that cooperation can benefit the students most.
First, the students can learn more in a group because they can organize what they learn in the class well. To elaborate, when students discuss, they should express their opinions, which will help them think deeply and organize what they want to talk. On the contrary, if students only work alone, then they will lose the best chance for them to rethink their perceptive. Take myself for example. When I was a freshman, my political science professor always encouraged us to work together in a group. In the group, I often expressed my thinking about the lecture. But because I was willing to share my perceptive, before taking out, I should check my idea was in logical reasons and speculate how to express them well. Through this process, I could consider my own opinion deeply, causing me to create other thought-provoking ideas.
Furthermore, by working in a group, students can learn other student's opinion and fully understand the topic. It is inevitable that the teacher has the generation gap with us. Still, if the students can work in the group and discuss the lecture, students can change the teacher's language into students' own language, which makes them can easily realize the lecture. Take my friend Jimmy for instance. He was a hard-working student but had a serious problem about interpreting teacher's language. Thankfully, in the group discussion, he exerted himself listening to teammates' opinions about the lecture, which helped him to review what the teacher said in the lecture and used his language to remember it. Nevertheless, if our school did not have a discussion time, then my friend Jimmy could not take advantage of this time to enhance his learning.
Many people may argue that if students work in a group, it might appear free-riders. However, even if I cannot disavow that the free-rider is a main problem in the cooperation, I insist that we have many ways to solve this problem. For example, the teacher can give the students chances to value their teammates or create some measures to punish free-riders. Hence, we should not become penny wise and pound foolish. The benefits of the teamwork surpluses the disadvantage. We should not because of a little problem to give up a good chance to help students learning.
In conclusion, I hold the belief that the teacher should require students to work together because it can not only help them organize the lecture well but also help students to understand the lecture more. However, we should design some measures to prevent free-riders from happening.
