Abstract

This article reports the findings of a study on the implementation of interteaching in a language communication module taught at a technical college. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of this instructional methods on students' engagement in learning. The construct of social validity was used to assess the value and effectiveness of interteaching as a social and educational practice. Goals, procedures, and outcomes, as chief indicators of the degree of social validity, were integrated in a Likert-type aggregate sale designed to measure learners' cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement in intereaching sessions. Twenty-eight first-year students participated in the study. The findings of the study indicate that the participants perceived interteaching sessions as helping the process content (cognitive engagement, procedures, and outcomes) and develop willingness to learn for own satisfaction (emotional engagement, outcomes). The psychometric properties of the scale designed to measure the impact of interteaching in student engagement suggest that the scale is well suited for use in research, though it should be developed further and applied to similar context with larger sample sizes.
