| Peer-Led Team Learning has several winners: students, leaders, and the institution. The focus of this presentation is to provide quantitative data on the impact on student peer leaders in the context of first semester general chemistry. Student leader gains have been identified as some of the most compelling data resulting from PLTL. Student leaders have long self-reported significant gains in a variety of professional development attributes. The Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) is a helpful tool to identify the elements in the course that best support student learning and those that need improvement. While many interventions to enhance student learning have been introduced over the years, their role will be presented and assessed from the perspective of student leaders. Leader SALG evaluations will be evaluated and differences between the typical chemistry populations and leader groups assessed and contrasted. Other gains that will be measured include leadership development, sociability and communication skills, and improved thinking and critical skills. Several instruments will be described and their efficacy assessed, and primary gains identified. |
