Co-teaching is a practice in which "two professionals co-plan, co-instruct and co-assess a diverse group of students. Both teachers provide substantive instruction to all students on a daily, consistent basis. Neither is considered the main teacher of the class; they are equals" (Murawski, 2008, p. 29). Unfortunately, co-teaching in…

Peer education is a widely used strategy in sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programmes for young people, yet measurement of its effectiveness often focuses on a narrow set of outcomes. This qualitative study explored how peer education was integrated into the "Get Up, Speak Out for Youth Rights!" (GUSO) programme in Kisumu…

Climate change and natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical shocks have increasingly disrupted school education around the world in recent years. Whether leading to school closures, school destructions or repeated interruptions in students' learning experiences, these external shocks have translated into lost learning…

Unequitable representation among students of color in higher education remains a persisting challenge. For the few racially and ethnically diverse individuals that make it into college, they are faced with numerous adversities that impede their ability to succeed academically and socially at their institutions, therefore lowering their sense of…

Background: As health coaching is becoming more popular as a health promotion intervention tool, there is a lack of empirical evidence to understand the clients' experience in the peer health coaching program among college students. Purpose: This qualitative study explored the experiences and perceptions of the health coaching clients following an…

One way to build a comprehensive, inclusive, and equitable music education is through the inclusion of popular music in curricula. However, it can be challenging for teachers to bring popular music into the classroom for many reasons. We suggest that since many teachers are educated in the Orff Schulwerk approach, this can be one way to teach…

Research on college student political engagement remains limited, often focused on classroom interventions and studied quantitatively (Bardwell, 2011; Beaumont et al., 2006; Mann et al., 2018). Students' lived experience of their political engagement, however, is "situational, emergent, and co-creative" (Hildreth, 2003, p8). During the…

Education in Japan and other Asian countries advocates the traditional passive style of learning where students learn through rote memorization in a teacher-centered environment. However, this is now changing due to globalization with Japan's Ministry of Education promoting learning strategies to involve students in the learning process actively.…

A study was conducted considering a mathematics learning center as a figured world, that is, as a social space that is treated as if individuals within the space share certain meanings about the space and interactions within it (Holland et al., 1998) from the perspective of the undergraduate peer tutors employed in it (for the larger study, see…

Writing conferences are rich pedagogical settings to explore explanations. In contrast to teachers, writing consultants are usually peer tutors, straddling the roles of instructor and fellow student (North, 1984). This creates a unique situation where consultant-writer dyads must interactionally manage questions of expertise and authority (Carino,…

This phenomenological qualitative study reports the advantages and drawbacks of implementing the Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach (SOFLA) in two mixed ability English classes at the Technical University of Cotopaxi-Ecuador, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It attempted to identify the opinions of eleven students, who were pre-service…

The focus of this paper is on using the Arduino as an educational tool and encouraging equal participation of women in the ICT filed. The purpose is to contribute to the understanding of gender differences in working and learning on Arduino projects.

In response to the paucity of clinical placements available in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, alternate options for prelicensure students were necessary in order for them to complete the fieldwork required for graduation. In response, Curtin University replaced a faculty-led fully-simulated placement with a peer-assisted learning model. This…

This research explores the different types of motivation that inspired students to engage in an online peer-assisted learning (PAL) leader role. An interdisciplinary online PAL pilot programme at a university in the United Kingdom was reviewed to investigate the experience and perceptions of voluntary online PAL leaders. The purpose of the study…

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) aims to bring simulated learning experience but could bring about higher cognitive load and be less accommodating to different cognitive styles. Meanwhile, Peer Instruction (PI), when integrated into IVR-based course, has the potential to address the needs of different cognitive styles and reduce cognitive load.…
