| Abstract: | Peer learning embodies diverse types and forms and it was extended in curricular areas and in contexts that may be applied outside the school. Considered as being among the most efficient learning strategies, peer learning is more and more encountered in colleges and universities. The possibility that the students learn by interacting with others, more than with the teacher, is a subject that rises the learning researchers’ and practitioners’ interest. The aim of this study was to probe the opinion of students from the Faculty of Letters that study the psycho-pedagogical program according the advantages of developing a pilot program of peer assisted learning destined to improve the results at exams. We have also been interested to learn whether and how students are involved in closed learning/working groups have the tendency to learn and retain more than a certain subject. The results of the study show the fact that the students who learn in small groups, usually, find out more about what had been taught and memorize more than when the same content is presented in other training forms. The benefits of using a peer learning program are felt at different levels: at the participants to the course level, at the students’-facilitators’ level, at the faculty level, at the institution level. |
