  • The researchers in the field of cognitive science and learning science suggest that the teaching activity induces the elaborative and meaningful learning. Actually, lots of research findings have shown the beneficial effect of learning by teaching such as peer tutoring. But peer tutoring has some limitations in the practical learning context. To overcome some limitations, the new concept of "learning by teaching" through the agent called Teachable Agent. The teachable agent is a modified version of traditional intelligent tutoring system that assigns a role of tutor to teach the agent. The teachable agent monitors individual difference and provides a student with a chance for deep learning and motivation to learn by allowing them to play an active role in the process of learning. That is, The teaching activity induces the elaborative and meaningful learning. This study compared the effects of our teachable agent, KORI, and peer tutoring on the cognition and motivation. The field experiment was conducted to examine whether learning by teaching the teachable agent would be more effective than peer tutoring and reading condition. In the experiment, all participants took 30 minutes lesson on rock and rock cycle together to acquire the base knowledge in the domain. After the lesson, participants were randomly assigned to one of the three experimental conditions; reading condition, peer tutoring condition, and teachable agent condition. Next, participants of each condition moved into separated place and performed their own learning activity. After finishing all of the learning activities in each condition, all participants were instructed to rate the interestingness using a 5-point scale on their own learning activity and leaning material, and were given the comprehension test. The results indicated that the teachable agent condition and the peer tutoring condition showed more interests in the learning than the reading condition. It is suggested that teachable agent has more advantages in overcoming the several practical limitations of peer tutoring such as restrictions in time and place, tutor's cognitive burden, unnecessary interaction during peer tutoring. The applicability and prospects of the teachable agent as an efficient substitute for peer tutoring and traditional intelligent tutoring system were also discussed.

  • In order to increase students' academic achievement effectively and at the same time to draw active participations from students during the computer lab, we applied the reciprocal peer tutoring education model. We focused on a short-term application of the reciprocal peer tutoring to computer operating system lab education with as little preparation as possible. 61 college students majoring in computer engineering participated in this research; half of them studied in the reciprocal peer tutoring setting, and rest of them did in the normal lab setting. Results show that students who participated in the reciprocal peering tutoring lab have higher academic achievement and better satisfaction on overall education and the class's professor. We hope that our method will be easily used in other universities' computer lab education.

  • The grade-schooler could develope computer literacy education with the Peer tutoring system which is method of one higher level learner can teach and help another learner. This system can hold the result in common each other, also a progress to get the successful result. Moreover, they do the project in cooperation. After the application of the peer tutoring, the basic of computer ability increase in quality. We have side-effects which are increased the interest of computer function after real teach and learning process. And we get good atmosphere which is confidence each other and helping mood in studying another school work. If this study should process changed form, it will be developed more regular system than this study.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a instructive strategy model of cooperative learning for practical class in technical high school. To achieve this purpose, this study has conducted related literature investigation and interviewed with professionals for reconstruction of practice contents. As a result, 15 steps instructional strategy model of cooperative learning was designed and this model based on traditional 4 steps model, Jigsaw and STAD model which have been verified as effect. To complete the final project, all the team members must cooperate themselves and tutor their peers with learning guides which are constructed as a modular system. This instructional strategy model which is correlated with modular instruction, peer tutoring and cooperative learning is expected to enhance students' school work of psychomotor domain as well as cognitive domain and affective domain.

  • This review of the literature explored the experiences and effects of peer-assisted learning in basic medical education. Peer-assisted learning is most commonly utilized to teach clinical skills (including technical skills) and medical knowledge (76.4%). It has also been used, albeit less frequently, to facilitate small-group discussions including problem-based learning, to promote students' personal and professional development, to provide mentoring for career development and adaptation to school, to give tutoring to at-risk students, and to implement work-based learning in clinical settings. Near-peer learning is a common type. The use of active learning techniques and digital technology has been increasingly reported. Students' leadership had frequently been described. Student tutor training, programs for teaching skills, institutional support, and assessments have been conducted for effective peer-assisted learning. There is considerable positive evidence that peer-assisted learning is effective in teaching simple clinical skills and medical knowledge for tutees. However, its effects on complex skills and knowledge, small-group discussions, personal and professional development, peer mentoring, and work-based learning have rarely been studied. Additionally, little evidence exists regarding whether peer-assisted learning is effective for student tutors. Further research is needed to develop peer-assisted learning programs and to investigate their learning effects on student tutors, small-group discussion facilitation, personal and professional development, peer mentoring, and peer-led work-based learning in the clinical setting in South Korea. Formal programs and system advancement for a student-led learning culture is needed for effective peer-assisted learning.

  • 현재 학교수업에서 학습자간 학습 능력의 차이를 해결하기위해 개별 학습과 수준별 학습을 이용한다. 그러나 수업시간 중에 수준별, 개별학습을 진행하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 이에 해결방법으로 동료 지도학습 방법, 웹기반 개별지도 학습방법 등이 적용되고 있으나 이 또한 동료끼리의 열등감 문제, 즉각적 피드백 부족 등으로 많은 문제점들이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효율적인 동료지도학습 방법을 적용하는 방법으로 SNS를 기반으로한 학습지원시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템을 적용함으로써 기존의 동료지도학습 방법에서의 시.공간적인 제약 문제를 해결하였고, 개별학습과 수준별 학습이 가능하며, 자기주도적 학습이 효과적으로 이루어질 수 있다. 또한, 누구나 학습자와 교수자의 입장이 될 수 있으므로 동료끼리의 열등감 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 교수자로서의 역할 경험은 자아성취감을 고취시켜 학습의 흥미도를 높일 수 있다.
