In our research, we discovered a fascinating phenomenon: children’s strong inclination towards learning from their peers rather than solely relying on traditional classroom instruction.

What intrigued me even further was the kids’ indifference towards the competitive aspect of their relationship with peers. Instead, they found joy and ease in discussing challenging subjects or topics with their classmates, creating a relaxed environment that was conducive to effective learning.

Would like to know your opinion and feedback on this! 💡
