Have you ever wondered why Finland always rates high on Pisa’s performance and well-being results? Finland’s education system has become well-known around the world, yet many still don’t understand why and how it can be used in their own classroom. The Finnish educational system is focused on collaborative learning, which uses collaboration as a powerful tool to increase student motivation and participation in the learning process.
