Abstract

Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) is a teaching method that could improve students’ skills. Research investigating the feasibility of applying PAL in the Information Studies/Science (IS) field concerning the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) courses settings is scarce, and there is a demand to explore this realm. In this research, systems thinking examines the ICT courses as a system with inputs, outputs, and feedback. A holistic manner of enquiry demanded the exploitation of a case study. Seventy-four PAL attendees from four sections of female students completed a short survey at the end of their ICT-related courses. The survey aimed to gather data on the attendees’ opinions regarding the PAL as a peer-learning system. The research framework admitted the data through phases; It integrated a new take on the “old-fashioned” SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. Then it developed a PAL integration framework to structure its practical implementation in the ICT courses. Finally, the study showed the potential of using SWOT analysis in managing educational methods and evaluating ICT skills by using PAL in the IS field.
