Collaborative Research: Teaching to Learn - Peer Learning Using Smart Devices

同伴学习可以为学生提供一个有吸引力的学习环境，培养工程师创新所需的高阶认知技能的发展。这个由俄克拉何马大学诺曼校区与塔斯基吉大学和宾夕法尼亚州立大学帕克分校的合作伙伴领导的合作项目正在使用移动智能设备来促进同伴学习。开放式解决问题的能力是这个项目提高学生的一个关键成果。在以教为学（TeatoL）的环境中，参与者既是教师又是学习者，并将共同从彼此的经验中学习。该项目正在发展对学生如何(a)理解自己的认知过程，(b)对同伴教学做出反应，(c)可以进行同伴批评和反思，(d)使用移动设备和社交网络来加强学习的新理解。此外，该项目将更好地了解“扁平”教室如何影响学习，以及同伴学习对代表性不足的STEM学生的影响。

Peer learning can provide students with an engaging learning environment that nurtures development of higher-order cognitive skills needed by engineers for innovation. This collaborative project led by the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus with partners from Tuskegee University and the Pennsylvania State University, University Park is using mobile smart devices to facilitate peer learning. Open ended problem solving ability is one key student outcome being enhanced by this project. In the Teaching to Learn (TeatoL) environment participants serve as both teacher and learner and will collectively learn from each other's experiences. The project is developing new understanding in how students (a) understand their own cognitive processes, (b) respond to peer teaching and learning, (c) can develop peer critique and reflection, (d) use mobile devices and social networks to enhance learning. In addition the project will develop a better understanding of how "flat" classrooms impact learning, and the impact of peer learning on underrepresented STEM students.
