Peer-to-peer learning and collaborative knowledge building in face-to-face and online environments
Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the method of peer instruction or peer instruction, as an active methodology. From the origin of the method in the early 1990s to the present day, this methodology has been successfully employed in several educational institutions, especially in higher education courses, as well as in basic education schools. This article aims to briefly discuss the use of the teaching method created by Eric Mazur who realized the need to bring better results to his classes through the active participation of his students. To this end, bibliographic research was used as a work methodology, since the field of reflection that is presented here is the result of the readings and contributions of several theorists who deal with the theme in question, that is, the active methodologies and among them, peer instruction. At the end of the preparation of this text, it was possible to conclude through the readings and studies that the peer instruction method can be easily applied in different learning environments, whether for face-to-face or online classes and without great costs, as it does not require technological resources to be executed.
