Abstract
In this study, we explored peer relationships in the college classroom and how they affected students' perceptions of classroom connectedness and organizational assimilation. Participants were 170 students enrolled in a variety of classes at a large mid-Atlantic university. Students enrolled in a course with information peers reported lower levels of classroom connectedness, familiarity with coworkers, and job competency than students enrolled in a course with either collegial peers or special peers. No differences were found between special and collegial peers on any outcome variable. Results indicated that students with higher-quality peer relationships experience greater feelings of connection with their classmates and are knowledgeable about the tasks they need to perform in the classroom.
