description After the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be even more important to provide scientific guidance to students by further leveraging the advantages of remote learning, especially in terms of collaboration and flexibility. This study employs a quantitative research method, analyzing the experiences of middle school students in Tianjin, China. A questionnaire featuring Likert scales and closed-ended questions was used to ensure consistent and measurable responses. The data was then evaluated using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results show that students show high flexibility and willingness to collaborate in remote learning, and they generally appreciate the flexibility of remote learning in terms of time management, teacher contact, and learning content. but they have difficulties in task coordination, expressing opinions, and maintaining enthusiasm for group work. In addition, students need better guidance in collaborative learning to improve these interactions. Future research should focus on how to improve communication skills and improve task allocation to guide students to reasonably use the advantages of collaboration in remote learning, to help educators solve the problems found in this study and to improve the learning outcomes of remote education.
