Topic 1: Do you feel socializing with your colleagues is beneficial in creating a better learning environment? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe that just like in practice settings, a good relationship between learners can go a long way in creating a better learning environment. In practice settings, a good relationship between colleagues in a given team will help to promote teamwork and collaboration. On the other hand, socializing with colleagues in the learning environment will help promote open communication and sharing of ideas and concepts, which will play a significant role in promoting a better learning environment. Open socializing in the learning environment also helps to ease any tension among learners and promote openness during group discussions and performance of various learning activities as teams (Darling-Hammond et al., 2019).
