Peer Learning Scale

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.
