Small Fish in a Small Pond: The Impact of Collaborative Learning on Academic Success for Less-Prepared Students in a Highly Selective STEM Environment
Micari, Marina; Pazos, Pilar
Higher Education Research and Development, v38 n2 p294-306 2019
This study examines academic outcomes for university students engaged in a supplemental peer learning program in a selective institution. Using a matched sample of 1266 students, half enrolled in the supplemental program and half not enrolled, we find that participating students on average earned higher grades in linked courses. Using a subsample of students in a chemistry course sequence, we find program participants were more likely to remain in the sequence than non-participants, and that the impact was greater for students with lower levels of preparation.
