Keywords:
Students as co-teachers, Cooperative group learning, Partner learning, Peer tutoringAbstract
In this article, we begin by providing reasons for students and teachers to collaborate, and then we define teaching so that it is feasible to consider students as co-teachers. We briefly explain the methods that allow students to become co-teachers. Through thee vignettes, we show the student co-teachers in action and illustrate five elements of the cooperative teaching and learning process in action. We summarize the emerging research base on students as co-teachers, provide a method for student co-teachers to be assessed, and examine perceived challenges to engaging students as co-teachers.
