Overview: In our department, we have implemented Peer-to-Peer Learning as a pedagogical approach to enhance learning outcomes, encourage collaboration, and build a supportive academic community. This method allows students to learn from each other, share knowledge, and collectively solve problems.

Key Features:

Collaborative Learning Environment:

1. • Students are encouraged to collaborate in small groups where they can share insights, discuss concepts, and learn from their peers’ perspectives.

   • Collaborative learning helps a deeper understanding of the subject matter and promotes critical thinking.

Facilitating Active Engagement:

1. • Peer learning empowers students to take ownership of their learning process, increasing their motivation and engagement in coursework.

   • By teaching or explaining concepts to their peers, students reinforce their own understanding.

Development of Soft Skills:

1. • Peer-to-peer learning also aids in the development of essential soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving, all of which are valuable in professional settings.

Mentorship:

1. • Peer mentoring builds confidence in both the mentor and the mentee, while fostering a sense of responsibility.

Diverse Learning Methods:

1. • Peer-to-peer learning is not limited to group discussions. It includes activities like peer assessments, collaborative projects, study groups offering a variety of interactive learning experiences
