Peer teaching
Peer teaching (also Peer Teacher , Peer-Assisted Learning , Peer Group Education ; from English : "peer" = the equal, the equal age, the equal) describes a special form of knowledge transfer and practical training by a selected and trained member of a group.
Peer teaching plays e.g. B. an increasing role in the further training of teachers, in the care of young people and in medical studies.
Especially among problem-laden youth groups, education and information can be brought into the focus of the problem much more quickly by peers of the same age. Research on medical studies emphasizes that peer teaching is a way of intensifying clinical teaching even when medical resources are scarce.
Here it is also evident that peer teaching goes far beyond the German-language term auxiliary scientist (HiWi) for students in higher semesters.
