At OakEdu, we make the student conscious that she/he is a part of social groups, a member in good standing. In particular, she/he will feel she/he is an important member of the class sessions. Everyday this feeling of belonging to a group will be lightly reinforced. The student will share the goal of the group, usually the classroom, that is excelling in learning, acquiring and sharing knowledge. In order to achieve this social skill, OakEdu maximizes the number and quality of interaction between students and/or tutors, in a cooperative atmosphere. The classroom environment is small and face-to-face talk is consequently very easy. Group rules are agreed upon, everybody can express her/his opinion; the leader, usually the tutor of the session, acts as a referee to decide ultimately in indecisive situations. When there is more than one student, they can teach, correct and help
each other. In real time the knowledge can be shared quickly. Questions
fuse and answers emerge, thus building up understanding and teamwork.
Worksheet, multiple choices forms and textbooks are easy to hoodwink,
but not when the students are talking or explaining, in their own words,
"in live". At first the concept has to be clearly understood
and if the student can explain it then it is an added clue that the concept
is understood. However, given the situation a practice worksheet is required
to reinforce, repeat, apply, implement and fix the concept in the mind.
