How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work a1.?

The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people.

Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are h2., also did well in working together to solve problems. This finding was true for many countries.

But this was not true for every country. Chinese students, who also did well on tests, s3. just average collaborative(合作的) skills.

“One r4. might be that Chinese parents and teaches focus too much on grades,"said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. " Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.”

“However, collaborative skills are very important for p5. students for today’s society,”he added."Luckily, more Chinese educators are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.

Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend(趨向于)to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more active attitudes(態(tài)度) towards relationships, which means they are much e6.to communicate with.

PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to e7. students to collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
