Exploring students perspectives on learning by teaching

“…These results led to the adaptation of the format in various classes to foster these qualities in the students (Weilemann and Brune, 2017;Balta et al, 2017;Deb, 2017). The attempts were ranging from classes, in which the students would even provide self-made learning material like task sheets for their fellow students and then hold presentations about a subject for the class to other formats, to those that were more focused on peer instruction as an additional training to motivate the students (Balta et al, 2017;Deb, 2017;Natsis et al, 2017).…”

“…The focus of the studies varied from Natsis et al's approach, which mostly evaluated the perception of the group work by the students, or to Deb's research of the motivational effect in a beginner's programming class but both students' perception and learning effect at the same time have not been covered in research on IS education yet (Deb, 2017;Natsis et al, 2017). Therefore, a study that addressed both students perceived learning outcomes and motivational effects of the method LbT was executed with a sample of undergraduate students at a German University of Applied Sciences.…”
