Undergraduates Leading Undergraduates: Peer Facilitation in a Science Workshop Program
Micari, Marina; Streitwieser, Bernhard; Light, Gregory
Innovative Higher Education, v30 n4 p269-288 Dec 2005
This article presents the results of a study investigating the experiences of undergraduates acting as peer leaders in an extensive peer-led team learning program in introductory undergraduate sciences and engineering courses. In an effort to understand the facilitator experience in the program better and to report initial findings on the benefits derived through a peer-facilitation experience, the study identified multiple areas in which peer facilitators reported experiences of growth and the ways in which they understood and responded to this growth.
