Abstract

This literature review provides a systematic synthesis of research on collaborative learning in primary science education from 2014 to 2024. It examines effective strategies and student outcomes, focusing on upper elementary grades with a variety of methodological approaches. The review identifies strategies that enhance cognitive, affective, and social competencies in students, categorized under Personal Factors, Behavioral Patterns, and Environmental Influences. Personal Factors include individual attributes such as leadership and regulatory skills. Behavioral Patterns involve group dynamics and interactions, while Environmental Influences encompass teaching strategies, technology support, and cultural factors. Collaborative learning significantly impacts student competencies, fostering cognitive improvements in conceptual understanding and problem-solving, affective gains in motivation and self-confidence, and social development in communication and cooperation. Despite these positive findings, the review acknowledges certain limitations, such as the dominance of English-language studies and a reliance on case studies. It recommends that future research explore the long-term effects and scalability of collaborative learning across diverse educational contexts. The review concludes by underscoring the importance of continued innovation in collaborative learning to enhance student engagement and academic success.
