Peer Learning Experiences of Undergraduate Academic Coaches
Katie H. Dufault
Learning Assistance Review, v28 n2 p1-42 2023
Research on peer academic coaching is limited and primarily focused on the outcomes of students receiving coaching. However, the peer coach also learns through experience. This qualitative study aims to understand peer academic coaches' perceptions of their coaching roles and experiences. I collected interview and artifact data from three participants. I found the coaches' definitions were congruent with the peer coaching (Blair, 2018) and peer education (Damon & Phelps, 1989) frameworks. Participants' experiences represented both peer tutoring (as a coach) and peer collaboration (among the coaches). Implications include recommendations for peer coaching programs and areas for future research.
