| Abstract | This project aims to serve the national interest by improving the efficacy of Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), an evidence-based teaching practice in STEM education. PLTL prepares students who recently completed a course to return to the course and lead new students in small group work. Approximately one-third of introductory chemistry instructors report using Peer-Led Team Learning in their teaching. The research literature has documented improved student achievement associated with this teaching |
