What is Peer Learning?

You need not learn only from a teacher. You can also learn from your classmates, which is called peer learning.

There are many advantages in peer learning.

• Your classmates understand your difficulties better than your class teacher.
• They may have had the same difficulty that you are facing now and may know a way to over come it.
• You are more comfortable to approach your classmates than to ask doubts with your teacher.
• By teaching you, your classmates understand the concepts much more better.

So do not be afraid. Next time you have a doubt, ask your classmates and also teach them when they need help.

It does not mean that you should not ask your teacher anymore. Peer learning is another channel for learning. If used correctly it will bring a lot of benefits to you.
