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

Abstract

This study considers the influence that classmates have over a student’s learning process in an individual sport. “Others " are defined as classmates who become educational agents and establish mechanisms of educational influence during learning processes through peer-to-peer relationships. 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 for intervention. The data analysis showed that the proposal contributed to the development of independence, decision-making, teamwork and respect for each person’s pace of learning among primary education students in physical education.
