Description¶
The article uses Wildt's didactic triangle model as a framework for theoretically classifying the peer teaching format. The triangle describes "the interdependence of teachers, learners and knowledge," with teaching promoting learning processes and requiring adopting the perspective of learners. In PT-BET, students take on both teacher and learner roles: in the teaching role they examine the structure of learners' answers and provide guidance, while in the learning role they reflect on and deepen their own knowledge. The didactic circle complements this by describing the flexibility of teaching and learning, including methods, content, social forms, and evaluations that can be adapted depending on emphasis. Together, these frameworks shaped the development and evaluation of the PT-BET intervention.
