The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a questionnaire for peer -assisted learning. The population consisted of all students in vocational-training high schools in Tehran in the academic year 1391-92. Through the use of multistage cluster sampling, 979 students ( 519 girls and 460 boys ) in 19 vocation program and 39 classes responded to the peer -assisted learning questionnaire (r=0.87) . For the validity of the questionnaire, content validity, construct validity, and exploratory factor analysis were used. Three factors were extracted, which explained the total variance of the questionnaire for girls (44.81%), boys (46.40%), and the total sample (45.56%) respectively. Results showed that the questionnaire is capable of assessing three factors related to peer -assisted learning: peer-assisted instruction, peer relationships, and a sense of belonging to the peer group. This questionnaire can be used as a measure of peer -assisted learning in samples with regard to, or regardless of gender.
