Since the early 1800's, children have been taught and encouraged to
function as instructional agents for their classroom peers.
However, it was not until the last decade that peer-mediated
intervention was studied in a rigorous, systematic fashion. The
purpose of this edited volume is to provide an up-to-date and
complete account of empirical research that addresses the general
efficacy of classroom peers as behavior change agents. As a result
of various social and legal developments, such as the passage of
Public Law 94-142 and its accompanying demand for indi vidualized
instruction, peer-mediated interventions seem likely to prolif
erate. As I have noted elsewhere (Strain, this volume), close
adherence to the principle of individualized programming has
rendered obsolete the "adults only" model of classroom instruction.
Whether the utilization of peers in the instructional process comes
to be viewed by school personnel as a positive adjunct to daily
classroom practices depends in large mea sure on our ability to
carefully design, conduct, and communicate the findings of applied
research. I trust that this volume will function both to accurately
communicate existing findings and to stimulate further study. My
colleagues who have generously contributed their time and skill to
this volume have my deepest appreciation. They have performed their
various tasks in a timely, professional manner and, in my opinion,
have provided considerable insight into the problems and potentials
of peers as instructional agents."
