“…Higher education research on peer teaching/learning consistently shows both the peer learner and the peer-teacher experience significant gains in learning from the collaborative interactions (Cottam, Menzel, & Greenblatt, 2011;Kiyama & Luca, 2016). Additionally, the peer-tutoring students display deeper levels of understanding of the concepts of the subjects they teach to other students (Benware & Deci, 1984) and achieve greater mastery of the course content (Philipp, Tretter, & Rich, 2016), and show positive impact on overall student engagement and retention in students with underdeveloped basic-academic skills (Callahan, 2009;Peck, 2011;Flores & Duran, 2013). Furthermore, peer tutoring is more cost-effective compared to faculty or staff tutoring and more educationally effective as it allows the learner to seek academic assistance from a similar-age peer, which is less threatening to the learner's selfesteem compared to seeking help from authority figures (Gross & McMullen, 1983).…”

“…Aun cuando se perfilan diferencias en términos de formación y funciones entre el ayudante graduado vs. el ayudante de pregrado, el estudiantado que asiste a ayudantías con este último grupo reporta avances en la construcción de sus aprendizajes y, además, las personas ayudantes reportan logros para sí mismos (Gordon, Henry y Michaux, 2013;Hogan, Norcross, Cannon y Karpiak, 2007;Philipp, Tretter y Rich, 2016a;Sari, Çeliköz y Ünal, 2017).…”

“…En esta misma línea, las personas ayudantes reportan haber obtenido aprendizajes profundos al ejecutar ayudantías. Particularmente sobre contenidos y habilidades propias de la disciplina, en formas de enseñar, en aplicar lo aprendido a su propia experiencia como estudiantes, en mayor seguridad, en habilidades para entender la perspectiva de otros, tanto como en habilidades comunicativas (Deshler, 2015;McKeegan, 1998, Odon, Ho y Moore, 2015Philipp et al, 2016a;Weidert, Wendorf, Gurung y Filz, 2012).…”
