q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

From the practical learning support sub-theme of the interview analysis: participants described reminders of upcoming deadlines, help organizing tasks, and repetition-friendly subjects. One teacher noted PAs could "train students with calculation equations."

"PAs were seen as effective learning companions in math and foreign languages because they could rehearse learning tasks with students that are more effective with repetition."
