Primes

• Mediator Availability Constraint
  • Topping (2005) reviews two decades of evidence that peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and peer assessment can effectively offload portions of the mediation load when carefully structured.

    This sourceTwo-decade review of peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and peer assessment; synthesizes evidence that carefully structured peer mediation can substitute for portions of expert mediation, supporting scaling-strategy reasoning about reducing mediation-dependence.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Topping's review covers the same three peer-learning forms and discusses effectiveness, but the abstract does not state they can offload mediation load.

    “Developments in forms of peer learning 1981–2006 are reviewed, focusing mainly on peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and peer assessment.”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

Domain-specific

• Peer Learning
  • Topping's review treats peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and peer assessment as major forms within a developed peer-learning field and emphasizes benefits to helpers as well as those helped.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
