Reciprocal Learning for Engaging Activities
Reciprocal learning involves pairing students to work on a worksheet where one has answers and coaches the other to solve problems. By splitting the worksheet into sections, students take turns coaching each other, promoting a deeper understanding in subjects like math and science without simply providing answers. This interactive method encourages coaching skills and active learning, making the worksheet more engaging.
