Departing from Lectures: An Evaluation of a Peer-Led Guided Inquiry Alternative
Lewis, Scott E.; Lewis, Jennifer E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n1 p135 Jan 2005
An experiment is conducted comparing two sections of general chemistry to evaluate the effectiveness of peer-led guided inquiry (PLGI) methods in terms of assisting student understanding in college-level general chemistry course. The pedagogical focus of PLGI is on student-student interactions within small groups, with a peer leader acting as a facilitator for those interactions.
