Zusammenfassung	The Peer Learning Scale measures the extent and quality of collaborative learning experiences among students, capturing the frequency of peer interaction, perceived support from peers, quality of peer feedback, and learning gains from collaboration. Grounded in social-constructivist theory and decades of research on collaborative learning, the PLS assesses a critical dimension of the modern learning environment: peer interaction is not incidental but a core mechanism of learning through explanation, feedback, and distributed cognition.	The University Student Satisfaction Scale measures students' satisfaction with their overall university experience, including instruction quality, academic advising, campus services, and campus climate. Multiple validated instruments exist (e.g., Student Satisfaction Index), each capturing dimensions of the student experience considered critical to retention and institutional quality. This tool enables universities to gather comprehensive feedback on the student experience and prioritize institutional improvements that enhance satisfaction and outcomes.
