Student participation and peer-to-peer learning processes in primary education

Abstract

This study considers the influence that classmates can have over a student’s learning process in an individual sport. “Others” are defined as classmates who, through peer relations, become agents of education and establish mechanisms of educational influence during learning processes. From the perspective of the teacher researcher, the goal of changing and improving the author’s own teaching practice is presented as the starting point for the design, validation and implementation of a support-recall-projection (SRP) proposal methodology for intervention. The data analysis showed that the proposal contributed to the development of students basic competences related with independence, decision-making, teamwork and respect for each person’s pace of learning among students of an individual sport.
