LTC: Peer-Led Team Learning in General Chemistry
Created 7 May 2009; Published 25 May 2009
LTC: Peer-Led Team Learning in General Chemistry: Implementation, Leader Training, and Evaluation
Professor Regina F. Frey, Director of WU Teaching Center and Senior Lecturer, Department of Chemistry; Washington University in St. Louis.
At Washington University, peer-led team-learning (PLTL) groups have been implemented in both semesters of our general-chemistry series, as well as the three semesters of calculus and the two semesters of general physics. Two major differences in our PLTL program compared to those implemented elsewhere are: optional participation in our program, and the development of a peer-leader training program that includes a semester-long multi-disciplinary training course on group facilitation. This talk will focus on describing the implementation and peer-leader training of our PLTL program, as well as the statistical evaluation of our General-Chemistry PLTL program.
