In this talk, I reflect on my transition from individual-focused lecture-based learning to fostering collaborative growth through Group Problem-Solving (GPS) in physics. Drawing from my experience assisting PH2100 (University Physics I) at Michigan Tech, I discuss how GPS encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving resilience. This approach deepens conceptual understanding, builds peer connections, and prepares students for research and industry. I also explore its adaptability beyond physics to other STEM and humanities fields. This session invites educators to reflect on their teaching practices and consider structured collaborative learning as a scalable, impactful approach in education and professional settings.
