Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL)

Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is an educational approach where students facilitate their own learning through collaborative group sessions led by trained student leaders rather than traditional instructors. Participants work together to solve problems, discuss concepts, and deepen their understanding of course material, benefiting from shared perspectives and peer support. This method encourages active engagement, critical thinking, and teamwork, often improving academic performance and confidence. PLTL leverages the idea that students can effectively guide each other’s learning, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances mastery of complex subjects.
