Duran, D., & Topping, K. J. (2017). Learning by teaching: Evidence-based strategies to enhance learning in the classroom. Routledge.
This book, based on the previous Aprenseñar (Duran, 2014, 2016) provides an essential overview of “learning by teaching”, unpacking the underpinning theory, research evidence and practical implications of peer learning in a variety of classroom contexts. It locates this phenomenon in current conceptions of learning and teaching, far removed from traditional ideas of one-way transmission of knowledge. Exactly what happens to promote learning by teaching is explored. Examples of learning by teaching are discussed and it is noted that this happens in school, university and the workplace, as well as through the Internet. Learning by teaching within the student body is then explored, and many different methods described.

Topping, K., Buchs, C., Duran, D., & Van Keer, H. (2017). Effective peer learning: From principles to practical implementation. Routledge.
The aim of this book is to help practitioners establish well-structured and effective peer learning projects using a variety of methods. It introduces and defines cooperative learning (mutual peer interaction) and peer tutoring (directional peer interaction) – outlining general organisational principles that will help practitioners implement peer learning in either of these forms. The authors consider how to prepare and train learners to undertake their roles effectively, and how to organise and monitor the process of interaction as it is happening. They then look at how these systems actually operate in the classroom, exploring how the organisational principles work in practice and giving many practical examples. Amog them some of the GRAI educational programmes are presented.

From the widespread perception that teaching can be a good way to learn, this book invites us to discover through scientific evidence that actually teaching others, in certain circumstances, can report learning for who is teaching. For this reason the book has been titled Aprenseñar -from aprender (learning) and enseñar (teaching) a new word in Spanish that the author has fabricated for the occasion, and which summarizes his idea, the possibility of learning by teaching.

It also was an opportunity to present this work to the educational community in general. This publication has the texts of interventions (conferences, workshops and communications), the posters that were presented and a photo report of the sessions. The texts are reproduced in the language in which they were presented due to the diverse origins of the participants.
