Enhancing Student Learning Achievement in Basic Agriculture Education and Smart Technology Through Cross-Peer Learning

Peer learning is an effective approach that enhances student learning in various academic fields. However, little is known about how peer learning specifically improves student achievement in basic agricultural education and smart technology. This research used a pretest-posttest design to examine the impact of cross-peer learning on student learning achievement in these subjects. The study involved two groups of students, 17 from Darunsikkhalai School for Innovative Learning (DSIL) and 23 from Mechai Bamboo School (MBS), selected by convenience sampling. For one week, MBS students tutored DSIL students in basic agriculture, while DSIL students tutored MBS students in smart technology. Data were collected before and after the intervention for both groups. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed significant improvements in the learning achievements of both groups. This study adds to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting the important role of peer learning in enhancing students' content knowledge in basic agricultural education and smart technology.
