All rights reserved.The purpose of this study was to capture the peer research mentoring experience of pre-service school counselors who were involved in a Peer Research Mentoring Program deployed at an undergraduate level Research Methods course. We used a qualitative case study and employed criterion sampling to recruit 10 pre-service school counselors who had completed the Research Methods course at an international university in Northern Cyprus as research mentors. We paired up the research mentors with pre-service school counselors who were enrolled in the course. Upon completion of a training module, the peer research mentors guided their peers in developing an effective research proposal. We collected data through qualitative surveys from 10 peer research mentors and 9 mentees. Data were subjected to content analysis. The results indicated that the peer research mentoring process enabled the research mentors to gain first-hand research mentoring experience; updated their knowledge and skills regarding conducting research; increased their research self-efficacy and research interests, and improved their communication skills.

Research on teaching practicum - a systematic review Lawson, Tony; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Gündüz, Müge; Busher, Hugh (2015-07-03) The aim of the present study is to conduct a systematic review research which focuses on research studies into the school practicum. In order to identify the main issues and also to provide a contemporary picture of practicum, 114 studies published on the topic are reviewed and analysed in terms of: (i) aims, (ii) main participants, (iii) methodology used and (iv) the main outcomes emerging. Many of the reviewed studies take pre-service teachers as their main participants. The review also shows that many pr...
Generating actionable predictions regarding MOOC learners' engagement in peer reviews Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Er, Erkan; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Asensio-Perez, Juan I. (2020-12-01) Peer review is one approach to facilitate formative feedback exchange in MOOCs; however, it is often undermined by low participation. To support effective implementation of peer reviews in MOOCs, this research work proposes several predictive models to accurately classify learners according to their expected engagement levels in an upcoming peer-review activity, which offers various pedagogical utilities (e.g. improving peer reviews and collaborative learning activities). Two approaches were used for traini...
