Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers from some of the best schools in the country have urged their colleagues to embrace \u201cpeer learning\u201d in order to learn from each other, improve teaching skills, but also give feedback about conducted class lessons, to make them better in the future.<\/p>\n

Peer learning is the process where students or colleagues learn with and from each other. This is usually facilitated through teaching and learning activities such as student\u2013led lessons, study groups, peer-to-peer learning partnerships, and group work. Teachers made peer learning observations during EdTech Monday, on November 1, 2021 via KT radio.<\/p>\n

EdTech Monday Rwanda is a Mastercard Foundation and ICT Chamber initiative that aims to spark the EdTech Ecosystem in Rwanda. The initiative brings together EdTech stakeholders, including EdTech entrepreneurs, Education, and technology policymakers, and EdTech consumers to discuss how to tap into the power of technology to increase learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

EdTech Monday Rwanda discussions take place on KT Radio every last Monday of the month and the participating audience differs depending on the topic of the day. This month, the discussions centered on \u201cteachers: leading in crisis, reimagining the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teachers included Callixte Gatera, from Fawe Girls School, Justine Manishimwe from Maranyundo Girls School, and Jean Damascene Musonera from Gashora Girls Academy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere there is a will, there is a way. Information is everywhere, on the internet teachers can always research and see the way things are elsewhere, in other schools, or how their colleague\u2019s work. If a teacher has no lessons, he\/she can attend the lessons conducted by colleagues to learn from, but also give them feedback on how it can be done better, in the future,\u201d Musonera said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLearning from each other is important, this is something I learnt from Gashora school and it can be implemented elsewhere. Teachers of these days should not teach as they were taught. If we don\u2019t adjust to the best and current way of teaching, we are spoiling the future of our children.\u201d Peer learning isn\u2019t just for students at school or college. Workmates can learn from each other through a peer-to-peer organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeer learning is specific evidence-based instructional strategy that is well-known and widely used, particularly in physics. In fact, peer instruction has been advocated as a part of best methods in science classes,\u201d Henderson Dancy, an American researcher said in his research published in 2007.<\/p>\n
