Öz

Amaç: Akran destekli öğrenme, benzer sosyal gruplardaki kişilerin birbirlerine öğrenme konusunda yardım ettikleri, kendilerinin de öğretirken bilgi ve beceri kazandıkları işbirlikli bir eğitimdir. Yeni bir bilgiyi edinmenin en ideal yönteminin o bilgiyi öğretme ve aktarma olduğu bilinmektedir. Akran destekli öğrenme, destek sağlayan kişilere ve akranlarına bilişsel, davranışsal ve sosyal katkılar sağlamaktadır. Fakültemizde, intörnlerin klinik öncesi sınıftaki öğrencilerin mesleksel beceri eğitiminde görev aldıkları bir uygulama başlatılmıştır. Bu uygulamayla, önceki yıllarda mesleksel beceri eğitimi alan intörnlere uygulamaları pekiştirme ve eğiticilik deneyimi kazanma fırsatı da sağlanmıştır. Bu makalede, 2021-2022 akademik yılında Fakültemizde uygulanan akran destekli eğitim deneyiminin paylaşılması amaçlanmıştır.
