Peer Teaching Model Ross Reynolds Presentation
What is Peer Teaching? • to structure a learning environment in which some students assume and carry out many of the key operations of instruction to assist other students in the learning process • Reciprocal Style of Teaching – observer the tutor/ the doer the learner • “I teach you, then you teach me”
History of Peer Teaching • Classical Greek Period • Aristotle/ Socrates • Andrew Bell was the first to implement peer teaching • the idea of learners getting involved in their learning, instead of passively receiving information from an instructor
History Cont. • Method became popular in the 1900’s • Peer teaching has shown to be an effective in increasing achievement in several subject areas such as math, science, language.
Curriculum Incorporation • Students will benefit from this model by: • Learning the skill • Giving and receiving correct feedback • Accurate assessment of the skill • Being able to record results of the doer
Skill Based Approach • Have many cues that the students can understand ( clear and catchy) • Make the skills simple (break them down into parts) • Use task cards when needed for visuals • Use direct instruction • Mastery of the skill • Easy to measure the skills
Peer Teaching Model Domains • Psychomotor • Cognitive • Affective/ Social
Implementation of the Model • 4 components to increase rate of success • 1. Introduce skill cues • 2. Analyze the performance • 3. Give or Receive the feedback • 4. Use skill analysis sheets
Role of Teacher in Model • Monitor the observers, don’t speak to the person doing the skill. (talk to observer of the skill) • Give feedback to the observer • Answer any questions the observer may have • Prepare evaluation sheets • Still be in charge of classroom
Role of the students in model • Decide who is the doer and the observer • As the doer perform the task when ready • As the observer watch the skill being performed looking for correct the aspects of the skill, then give the doer feedback about the performance • Switch the roles of doer and observer when needed
Disadvantages of Model • The observer may give the incorrect feedback to the doer • The observer may get distracted by other things going on ( not pay attention to the doer) • Teacher has to teach how to give the proper feedback ( takes time out of the class) • Some of the students may play favorites with one another • Students may not like the feedback from a peer
Advantages of the Model • Increased physical activity • Increased learning time • Observer has to cognitively think, doer works on skill • Improve on socialization during the class • Learn the skill better when watching someone else and giving feedback
