With a Little Help from my Friends: Integrating Self-directed Peer Learning to Improve Word Problem Completion in Developmental Math
This mixed-methods study assesses the impact of a peer consultation intervention intended to alleviate known bottlenecks in engaging developmental math students with word problems. Our findings suggest that peer consultation, in which students are provided autonomy in choosing with whom they consult, has the potential to significantly strengthen students’ ability to shift from written to mathematical representations as well as decrease anxiety and increase positive engagement in mathematics education as a whole. Implications for overcoming similar bottlenecks outside of mathematics are discussed.
