本研究的重点是对本科有机化学课程的所有学生实施同伴主导的团队学习 (PLTL) 教学方法,并对 8 年多的学生成绩进行评估。将 1996-1999 年经历过以学生为中心的教学并由同伴领导者进行小组活动的学生(治疗组)与 1992-1994 年经历过传统背诵部分(对照)的学生进行比较。定量和定性数据显示,学生的成绩、保留率和对课程的态度在统计上有显着改善。这些发现表明,利用本科生领导者实施建立在社会建构主义基础上的同伴主导的团队学习模式是影响本科生科学课程变革的可行机制。 2002 Wiley periodicals Inc.

This study focuses on the implementation of a peer-led team learning (PLTL) instructional approach for all students in an undergraduate organic chemistry course and the evaluation of student outcomes over 8 years. Students who experienced the student-centered instruction and worked in small groups facilitated by a peer leader (treatment) in 1996-1999 were compared with students who experienced the traditional recitation section (control) in 1992-1994. Quantitative and qualitative data show statistically significant improvements in student performance, retention, and attitudes about the course. These findings suggest that using undergraduate leaders to implement a peer-led team learning model that is built on a social constructivist foundation is a workable mechanism for effecting change in undergraduate science courses. 2002 Wiley Periodicals Inc. J Res Sci Teach 39: 606-632, 2002 Various science councils advise that the classroom should incorporate group activity because it influences how students learn and reinforces the collaborative nature of the scientific enterprise (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1989; National Research Council, 1996, 1999; National Science Foundation, 1996). This emphasis on student-centered instruction marks a shift from the traditional instructor-centered paradigm, which provides few opportunities for students to become actively engaged in the learning process. In contrast, students working in small groups have opportunities to negotiate meaning and construct conceptual understanding in a community of learners (Brown & Campione, 1994; Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer, & Scott, 1994). Small-group instructional methods have been implemented in undergraduate science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education (e.g., Brown & Blackburn, 1999;
