Sumario:In this paper we present the results of a research in which we investigate the use of a teaching and learning method known as Peer Instruction (PI). The context of the research was an introduction course to physics. PI is a method in which students are encouraged to explain their understanding about conceptual issues to their colleagues and can be confronted with the understanding of their peers. Our research problem was: do student discussions increase the number of students who choose the right answer and affect the confidence level of these people in their answers? The data we obtained show a remarkable increase in the number of right answers and a very significant effect of peer instruction on students' confidence in their answers.
