To realize and enhance active learning classes,undergraduate learning assistants (LAs) appear as catalysts. LAs are undergraduate students whohave typically completed the particular course and return to assist with its instruction. PracticingLAs increase interactive engagement of the students in active learning classes by providing near-peer help. The processes of facilitating student learning are also construed as a learningexperience of LAs themselves.The generalized LA program developed by the Learning Assistant Alliance has three coreelements [5].

essay: This assignment encouraged students to critically read and analyze literature in the engineering pedagogy field. Students chose one of the module topics described above and were asked to choose at least three readings on this topic out of a list provided by the instructors. The essay prompt required students to challenge the perspectives and assumptions of the readings’ authors in order to develop their own opinions on the topic. 3. Peer observation and reflection: Students observed and were observed teaching by a peer from the class. Observers were asked to provide constructive feedback on strengths and areas for growth, after which the observed student would write a reflection on the process and how

Previous research hasfound that “social support from peers will make individuals more resilient in dealing withproblems and foster academic self-confidence” [21]. This suggests that individuals feelsupported and encouraged by their study buddies, leading to a belief in their academic abilities.Furthermore, interacting with study buddies can facilitate constructive criticism and feedback.Interactions with colleagues around teaching and learning, including conversations aboutinstruction, peer observation and feedback, and advice seeking about instruction, illustrate thatcollaborative interactions with study buddies can increase an individual's belief
