Abstract:
Pair-to-pair peer learning (PPPL) is the simplest form of group-to-group peer learning (GGPL). GGPL may be defined as a learning method where two or more peer groups interact and thus increase the knowledge of all group members; while PPPL may be defined as GGPL with group sizes of only two members each. A simple PPPL experiment was conducted and analyzed indicating an increase in knowledge gain as compared to peer learning (PL) alone. The experiment was conducted in an undergraduate engineering lab in a required computer-integrated manufacturing course for two engineering programs, mechatronics and industrial engineering.
