The power of knowledgeable peers (in this case undergraduate learning assistants [LAs]) to scaffold learning in ways that can positively influence both cognitive and affective outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), is explored in this study. In terms of the cognitive perspective, we use a metacognitive awareness (MA)…

During the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced teachers to shift their instruction online, further exacerbating the challenges for teachers in orchestrating rich mathematics discussions.
