Investigating the effect of distance between the teacher and learner on the student perception of a neuroanatomical near-peer teaching programme

摘要

PurposeNear-peer teaching (NPT) is a highly valuable resource for the education of medical undergraduates with benefits to the students, teachers themselves, and the faculty. To maximise the effectiveness of such teaching programmes, the aim of this study was to determine how the student learning experience, and underpinning social and cognitive congruencies changes as the learner–teacher distance increases.
