Abstract:

Active learning is a process of learning in which teaching strives to involve students in the learning process more directly than in other methods. In this paper the researchers describe on methods that we implemented successfully to potentiate active learning, by means of peer-teaching strategies. We collected data from 461 first-year students enrolled in Life in a Digital World course (one of the university’s general education courses). They were divided into groups and assigned to study a particular topic to teach their peers. Researchers used a survey methodology to collect the data from students before-after the activities to measure their student’s self-efficacy in learning. The results showed that after learning by peer-teaching strategies there were significant increase in students’ self-efficacy in learning. The recommendations for this study will be discussed under the Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) research.
