Abstract

Recent years have seen a great amount of research on collaboration, collaborative learning and collaborative activities in which students essentially work in small groups. Collaborative activities, often organized as project work in schools, are used to develop 21st Century skills in students. Collaboration has been considered as a means to increase student acquisition of content knowledge and develop cognitive skills, like critical thinking and problem solving (Kuhn, 2015). This paper presents the impact of collaboration on developing attributes of kindness among students at middle school level. 152 students from middle school of Bunts Sangha's S M Shetty International School and Junior College , Mumbai, India participated in the survey. Data has been collected quantitatively and qualitatively through deploying a questionnaire to students. The findings of the study support the use of collaborative activities for developing kindness attributes in students. Such research will further strengthen our understanding of the development of kindness attributes through collaboration and will help educators to maximise the use of collaborative activities to develop kindness attributes in students.
