Teamwork helps students learn better and promotes friendship.

To a
few people, working on their own can sometimes feel easier. Though
there are some benefits to get involved in group work. Whether it is
forced upon them by their teacher or boss, or it is a study work they
arrange with their friends, group work can be useful in helping you to
deepen your knowledge and understanding of issues.
To begin with, the first benefit is teaching essential social skills such as
active listening and effective speaking. When working as a team,
students learn how to listen to their leaders and coaches in order to
perform their individual roles. Students learn how to listen to one
another in order to function as a cohesive unit. Teamwork teaches
students how to respectfully and confidently express their ideas and
opinions effectively in a group setting. It’s important for students to
recognize that speaking is not the same as talking. Speaking is about
understanding how to communicate with an audience. The way in
which a student speaks to other group members demonstrates his or
her level of understanding and respect for others.
Secondly is to improving their self-confidence. Teamwork teaches
students that their voices are respected and valued. Knowing that she
will be heard helps build a student’s self-confidence, while encouraging
further participation in group activities. This becomes a self-sustaining
cycle: participation in team activities teaches students how to be better
communicators, which in turn helps every member of the team feel
valued and respected. As a result, even the most introverted and
quietest members of the team can become active participants and
learn to enjoy team activities.
The next one is reducing bullying. The second biggest benefits of
teamwork is its potential to dramatically reduce the effects of bullying
on students. When a student knows he/she is valued and respected by
others, he/she will be able to rise above the hurtful acts or comments
of a bully. Being a part of a team that genuinely cares about its
members will also give a student a strong support system. Ultimately,
team members tend to stick together outside of collaborative settings
(like sports practice and clubs), which means they can support one
another in challenging settings. Furthermore, the self-confidence from
team activities may empower a student to stand up for other victims of
bullying who may not have a similar support system.
Last but not least, the biggest benefit is setting up for students’ future
career. The benefits of teamwork almost always translate into success
outside the classroom. There are very few career paths that operate in
isolation. As an employee in almost any industry, people are required
to work closely with others. That’s why employers prefer to hire people
who have demonstrated their ability to work as a part of a team.
Introducing students to collaborative environments early in their school
experiences presents opportunities for them to more productive and
joyful as they work with others in a team-based environment. This
satisfaction will be reflected in their job performance and career
advancement.
In conclusion, teamwork and groupwork can help students with their
life issues and future career. As everyone often said, “Teamwork makes
dreamwork”.
