This study is a discourse analysis of the transcribed talk recorded between tutors and students in a university peer tutoring program. We focus on STEM tutoring sessions, showing how tutors and students co-construct relational identities in and among the technical, highly task-oriented work of solving math and science problems. Using Grounded…

Within medical education a reduction in curriculum time for subjects, such as anatomy puts pressure on educators to ensure the same learning outcomes are conveyed in less time. This has the potential to impact negatively on student experience. Near-peer teaching (NPT) is often praised as an effective revision tool, but its use as a frontline…

According to the recent MAA National Study of College Calculus (Bressoud, Mesa, & Rasmussen, 2015) more than a third of US Calculus I students come in contact with undergraduate mathematics peer tutors (UMPTs) and mathematics tutoring has the ability to influence affect as well as academic learning, but, undergraduate mathematics tutoring is…

Peer-mediated interventions (PMI) are implemented for skills teaching for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly within the context of early learning environments. PMI have several potential advantages in comparison to adult-led intervention; however, there is a lack of research evaluating the use of PMI with younger…

In fall of 2017, the Center for Academic Program Support at the University of New Mexico revamped its Online Learning Assistant (OLA) Program, which focuses on embedding undergraduate peer tutors in multidisciplinary fully online courses. Students who had an OLA during the Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 semesters, were surveyed to better understand the…

This paper recounts the development and implementation of the "Peer Leader Training Manual" for the Story-Sharing for Sexual Health Research (SSSH) Study conducted in Toronto, Canada. In the disciplinary integration of health and adult education, the community-engaged health research reported here reflects the successful partnership of a…

Women in STEM are underrepresented and face challenges in balancing work and family. Therefore, mentoring is an important career intervention that focuses on individual's well-being and professional career. This study introduces a voluntary, flexible, context-sensitive and informal peer-based mentoring model. Twenty-six female STEM professors from…

Lack of diversity in the science community is a serious concern for social justice, scientific productivity, equity and efficacy. The first year of undergraduate education is of critical importance in increasing diversity in these fields. Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) has previously been shown to be associated with higher student achievement in…

In the United States, 350,000+ fatalities are due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (CPR Certification HQ, 2018). If patients do not receive quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within the first few minutes of the attack, they will perish. According to the American Heart Association (2019b), healthcare (HC) providers have reduced CPR…

The aim of this study was to implement on-the-job training (OJT) in a distance learning environment. To achieve this, job analyses were conducted on spring semester beekeeping activities at a vocational school in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye, and content and activities were designed with an OJT environment prepared. Participants received…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures globally, leading to significant learning regression in academic performance, skills, and ethical development. This study aims to: 1) synthesize and develop an adaptive micro-learning model based on Dhamma principles using mixed reality (MR), 2) compare pre- and post-test results, and 3) assess the…

Contribution: This study identifies the types of interaction that contribute to student learning with student-led tutorials (SLTs). The quality of these interactions include peer discussion, student tutor presentation, joint reasoning, and constructive feedback. Background: The introduction of SLTs in an advanced electromagnetics bachelor course…

Young people's involvement in community-based research is a well-established interventional model, but not nearly as widespread as it should be. Although young people have valuable insights to share, their voices are often missing from the research process. To address this void, Youth Enrichment Services (YES) engages youth from under-resourced…

The purpose of this study was to describe the standard process of mathematical reasoning in learning on pyramid volume concepts. The study was a study with descriptive qualitative approach, carried out by peer teaching in the classroom. The subjects of this research were Class B Postgraduate 2018 (S2) students, State University of Malang. The…

One often overlooked challenge of undergraduate research (UR) is access to information. Growing student diversity, including first-generation students, and increasing calls for a better-trained workforce suggest that higher education should be providing more support for UR. The authors propose that higher education needs cost-effective, impactful…
