Music classrooms have incorporated elements of cooperative peer learning for generations. Whether sharing an instrument or composing a song together, peers interact in many meaningful and spontaneous ways. While the principles of peer-assisted learning (PAL) might be familiar to many music teachers, the process and structures of reciprocal peer…

This meta-analysis investigated the effects of peer tutoring interventions on the academic achievement of Emergent Bilingual (EB) students from preschool through Grade 12. Fourteen studies, including peer-reviewed journal articles and unpublished dissertations published between 2010 and 2021, were analyzed based on study characteristics, student…

The acceptance of students with special needs by their peers with typical development is of critical prominence for students with special needs. This study, which uses the mixed method as the research design, aims to find out the effectiveness of the same-age tutoring method in order to determine the effect of peer-mediated skill generalisation…

This study was conducted to determine the description of learning with the peer tutor method implemented through situation-based learning. The urgency of this study is to find out the problem posing ability of elementary school students as an intellectual skill that students must possess to support future competition. From the existing problems,…

Using a national database, this study examined the relationship between the language of instruction models and the frequency of peer-mediated learning activity on English learners' reading achievement (N = 1,004). Results from the Multilevel Modeling (MLM) analyses revealed an interaction between the language of instruction and the frequency of…

This research aims to examine the effect of peer teaching on the academic success of primary school fourth grade students. The biggest difference of this research from other researches is the application of a different method in peer teaching. This research is in the pretest-posttest experimental design with an unequal control group. The research…

Peer tutoring methods were implemented in a 2nd grade classroom using an alternating treatments design with a baseline. In the baseline phase, 18 participants spelled words they had not yet learned. During the treatment phase, teacher-led spelling instruction was alternated each week with peer tutoring for spelling. Peer tutoring for spelling was…

Nationwide, low numbers of students are entering STEM-related fields. This is especially true for underrepresented populations and students from rural areas where access to STEM enrichment programs is limited. This qualitative study researched the impact of Micro STEM Fests on 1st to 5th grade students and investigated participating teachers'…

Questions regarding the construction of mathematical authority have implications for learning, specifically for students' views of themselves as mathematics learners and doers with valuable contributions. We consider the ideas proposed by eight first-grade students who had the most airtime during 12 lessons of a classroom teaching experiment. We…

Purpose: Elementary-aged peers often need support for them to have positive interactions with classmates with autism who are minimally speaking (i.e., fewer than 30 functional spoken words). This study examined whether peers could learn to use responsive interaction strategies to support inclusive play and communication within a peer network…

Reading and writing are enormously valuable, influencing every area of life beyond school. However, reading and writing difficulties are on the rise, especially among second-language students. The primary objective of this study is to design a classroom intervention that simultaneously promotes reading and writing and is easy to implement. In a…

Peer-mediated instructional strategies (e.g., peer tutoring) have been effective at teaching academic responses in previous research. This study extended the literature by programming for inference-making, or derived relations. Across two experiments, researchers investigated the use of peer tutoring and inference-making to teach…

This study aims to investigate the effects of the child-to-child teaching approach on students' level of social responsibility in primary social studies courses. A mixed-method experimental intervention approach was adopted in this research. The study participants were 5th-grade students, students' parents, and a social studies teacher. The social…

The research aims to examine the effect of "peer assisted learning" and "learning together" techniques on 6th grade female students' reading comprehension achievements and attitudes towards reading. The research employed a quasi-experimental model with pretest -- post-test control group. Data collection tools of the research…

Dialogue and reasoning are central to mathematics. Despite a substantial body of research illustrating the benefit of talk in the classroom, an educational debate remains in schools about how much time and empowerment should be given to children to talk in lessons. For many teachers, particularly post-pandemic, there is a professional concern…
