I believe that the majority of people do have a basic instinct to interact and work as a group. There are a few people, that for some reason, do not have this basic instinct. The majority of people enjoy being social and do not like working alone. People tend to work harder, if other people are dependent on them. People also like competition and by working together, there is a feeling of competition or showing others how well they can complete a task.
When people interact with other people and work together, they fill the need for socialization. They get to use their strengths and the other people make up for the weaknesses. There is not one person who is good at everything and working together helps to compensate for any weaknesses.
Constructivist principles stress collaboration and using technology would work well. Since the world has become so technologically advanced, real world experiences would be easy to come up with. Also, using technology can help make tasks more complex (Driscoll, 2005). When people learn to use technology, there is really no limit to what can be accomplished.
