Question

What is the difference between individual research and collabarative research?

Answer 1

Answer:

First of all, it is necessary to understand that both individual and collective skills are mandatory (nowadays in all companies, industries, and services). Individual education provides useful "how to do" to all students. However, the degree of domain and expertise depends on the intelligence and thinking of each student (logic, abstraction, maths, among others). Collective education promotes the collaborative work, which is necessary for almost all types of professions. The multidisciplinary work enables participation, collaboration, discussion and different perspectives to solve problems or propose new alternatives to face daily and professional challenges.

I think both approaches are necessary and complementary. A module or course should include individual and collective learning and assessment activities.
