Abstract


The education system has experienced a significant paradigm change in the present pandemic situation. Traditional teaching methods, used as a marvel, will no longer function in the current situation. This shifting paradigm has affected higher education greatly, primarily because of the rapid movement from conventional approaches to advanced and creative online learning strategies. Collaborative learning is one of the most common ways of working and responding to current needs. This study deals with the influence of STAD, which is one of the collaborative learning techniques. In this research, WhatsApp, a typical social media app, is used to form groups of learners. This experiment’s results demonstrate how improved learning can be achieved when collaborative learning is well used.
