Abstract
ABSTRACTInter-teaching is teaching pedagogy that incorporates elements of behavior analytic approaches, including study guides, contingencies to induce self-regulation, students teaching each other, and the instructor only teaching materials that students report they have not mastered. Six of seven experiments in six papers found Inter-teaching to be more effective than teaching as usual, although one research group has published most of these data. Thus, Inter-teaching met criteria for a promising intervention, but not an evidence-based intervention. Future research should (a) operationalize this treatment package to clarify the independent variable, facilitate measurement of treatment integrity, and permit behavioral skills training of instructors; (b) conduct a component analysis since the only effective components may be contingencies for studying before class and for frequent quizzes; (c) develop automated online forms of Inter-teaching; and (d) analyze Inter-teaching in terms of the number and quality of teaching trials and the learning channels incorporated within Inter-teaching.
