| Meta-Principle: Help Students Learn from Each Other |
| Help students learn from each other calls for orchestrating social supports so learners can benefit from the ideas of others. Encouraging students to listen and learn from others, takes advantage of the collective knowledge in the classroom community. First, encouraging students to analyze and build on ideas from peers can introduce new perspectives and motivate students to interpret their own ideas. Second, when students interact, they connect to the cultural aspect of learning by bringing to light the alternative views held by learners and the criteria used to interpret ideas. Third, by enabling students to question peers and authorities, social supports can encourage the deliberate nature of learning. |
