This qualitative, phenomenological study examined undergraduate peer mentors' perceptions of the mentoring roles and their perceived student learning through their mentoring experiences. The participants' experiences were connected to the sociocultural theory of learning and self-determination theory. The study revealed four themes from 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 Fourteen studies, including peer-reviewed journal articles and unpublished dissertations published between 2010 and 2021, were analyzed based on study characteristics, student…

Biology and art have been linked throughout history. Early scientists, such as Leonardo de Vinci and John James Audubon, used sketches and painting to document their findings. Even early hominids left evidence of their world through cave art. Histology, the microscopic study of tissues and cells, relies on defining shape and spatial relationships…

Teachers need technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) for teaching with technology, and its assessment is crucial for research and practice. Previous literature reviews on TPACK assessment were not specific to a content area (e.g., mathematics), although, by definition, the TPACK framework includes content-specific knowledge facets.…

Background: Effectively supporting and promoting mental health education for at-risk populations is crucial. In New Zealand, risks in relation to the suicide for young farm labourers, alongside the stress associated with the transition to university and the vulnerability of rural communities, place agricultural students in a vulnerable position.…

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…

Introduction: Peer health education programs for adolescents in schools and for adults in prison are effective at increasing health knowledge and improving leadership skills. However, there have been no peer health education programs in juvenile detention facilities despite proven benefit in similar environments. We created a pilot study to…

This research aimed to examine the improvement of teachers' abilities to integrate the project approach with multicultural education. A total of three female teachers from a kindergarten in the northeastern region of Thailand participated in this research. The research procedure began with the three teachers developing lesson plans. This was…

This study aimed to study the effects of implementation of the peer-assisted aesthetic learning model using multimedia to enhance undergraduate students' songwriting skills for children's songs, to assess young children's satisfaction with the composed children's songs, to explore undergraduate students' satisfaction with the model, and to…

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…

The paper deals with the investigation of theoretical and practical issues on the organization and management of EFL peer learning. Lack of understanding of the mechanism of peer learning as a system of relationships and interactions hinders creating the conditions for effective education. The study aims to identify and systematize the key…

Burnout is experienced for many reasons, such as prolonged exposure to stress. This can present in three stages being emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal unaccomplishment. Many educators experience different stages, pathways, and types of burnout throughout their career. This is unfair to teachers as most enter the profession to…

Science identity impacts undergraduates' persistence in their science courses and careers. Here, we investigated science identity in learning assistants, undergraduate peer educators who provide academic and social support in science courses. Understanding learning assistants' science identities has particular value because of their dual role as…

Objective: Performance of Cognitive Refocusing Treatment for Insomnia (CRT-I) relative to stimulus control treatment (SCT) remains unknown among college students. This pilot trial compared single-session, electronic-based, peer-led CRT-I to SCT, and as well as awareness-based (AC) and no-treatment (NTC) controls. Participants: College students (N…

This study's purpose was to determine whether the use of course-embedded learning assistants compared to sections that did not use course-embedded learning assistants in intermediate algebra courses impacted student performance at a community college. The sample was composed of 5,738 students who were enrolled in an intermediate algebra course…
