Event Description

There is a large body of literature that supports the idea that developing mastery of a subject can be achieved through learning-by-teaching. In this workshop, we will discuss some of the ways this type of mastery can be fostered, even in traditional higher education classrooms. Participants will be introduced to a tool to aid in matching learners in study partnerships “study buddies” and we will consider situational factors that may influence the success of specific peer teaching-learning relationships. We will revisit the flow of information in classrooms, consider ways to encourage effective lateral transfer, along with the potential benefits and challenges this approach may bring to learning.
