Peer-led team learning: evaluation, dissemination, and institutionalization of a college level initiative

This book is a real-world study of Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), a method inwhich undergraduates work together, under the guidance of a peer leader, in course-connected workshops. PLTL is intended to complement lecture. The text explains how the method evolved into a teaching/learning model. The evaluation uncovered six critical components for successful implementation. Evaluation at each new site looked at implementation, comparing methods, materials, training, and organizational arrangements with what had been found to work effectively. Those disseminating the model used the critical components to frame their presentations. Dissemination of the method is carefully documented and analyzed.A comprehensive analysis of program development, implementation, dissemination, and institutionalization A study over a 10 year period, with data from dozens of institutions, scores of faculty, and hundreds of students A model that can be used for the development and study of other programs Grounded in solid theory, with a thoroughly practical approach INDICE: 1: Plan and Context of the Study. 2: Development and Implementation of Peer-Led Team Learning. 3: Dissemination Strategies. 4: Adopting and Adapting: Successes and Limits. 5: Indicators of Institutionalization. 6: Study ofFormer Leaders. 7: Impact on Minority Students and Women. 8: PLTL and the Goals of Higher Education. 9: Issues in Implementation, Dissemination and Institutionalization. 10: Evaluation Strategies: Developing a Program Model.
