Multicultural study groups: long-term gains for peer facilitators.

This retrospective qualitative case study employs Personal Meaning Maps and semi-structured interviews to explore five former peer facilitators’ narratives to elicit any long-term perceived value of once acting as a peer facilitator in a peer-led multicultural self-study group. Utilizing the content dimension of learning framework, the study concludes that the former peer facilitators perceive a wide range of long-term benefits such as the consolidation of knowledge, the development of skills and competencies, and a positive impact on their personal growth and professional identity.engHigher educationInternational higher educationLong-term gainsMulticultural self-study groupsPeer facilitationjournal article2025-09-021308-1470
