Communication Curriculum Development Education Educational Evaluation Higher Education Instructional Design Pedagogy Personal Relationships Teacher Education Student-Teacher Relationships Communication Basic Course Peer Tutoring Peer Modeling Personalized System of Instruction Individualized Communication Student Engagement Classroom Climate Affective Learning Communication Competence Recent instructional research has suggested that students have expressed their need to be actively and emotionally engaged in the classroom. Student engagement decreases student attrition and increases student retention. Instructors who promote positive communication and facilitate relationship developments in the classroom influence positive classroom climates, which helps satisfy the social and emotional needs of students. Although student-centered instructors can satisfy these needs, the instructor-student ratio in the classroom may keep some students invisible, therefore, potentially unengaged. Instructional methods have begun to recognize the relational and individualized communication potential of peer learning, specifically peer tutoring. Moreover, peer learning engages students through observational and vicarious learning experiences of positive student models. This project explores the inclusion of peer tutors as positive student models embedded within the communication basic course and the potential affects this may have on student engagement, classroom climate, affective learning, and communication competence. 2012-04-24 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1334202323 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1334202323 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
