Abstract
The research described by Lydia Tien, Vicki Roth, and Jack Kampmeier (J. Res. Sci. Teach. 2002, 39, 606-632) clearly suggests that peer-led team learning workshops in the organic chemistry course studied both increased the level of student achievement and increased the retention of students in the course. The benefit appears to apply to all groups, regardless of gender or ethnicity.

Impact of Supplemental Instruction in Entry-Level Chemistry Courses at a Midsized Public University
Kenneth A. Rath, Alan Peterfreund, Frank Bayliss, Elizabeth Runquist, and Ursula SimonisJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPImpact of Supplemental Instruction in Entry-Level Chemistry Courses at a Midsized Public University
Kenneth A. Rath, Alan Peterfreund, Frank Bayliss, Elizabeth Runquist, and Ursula SimonisJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPThis paper examines the impact of supplemental instruction (SI)—nonremedial workshops that support regularly scheduled courses—on four different chemistry courses: General Chemistry I and II, and Organic Chemistry I and II. Differences in how SI impacts ...
