Effects of classwide peer tutoring (CWPT) on the academic performance of 14 mildly handicapped and 36 nondisabled students enrolled in three 10th-grade social studies classrooms were examined. Effects were analyzed using a multiple baseline design across settings with a withdrawal of treatment in two classrooms. Analysis of results indicated that the implementation of CWPT produced an average increase of 2l points on weekly tests. With CWPT 60% of all students earned ‘A’ grades, failing grades were virtually eliminated, and no mildly handicapped students received grades below ‘C’. Anecdotal student and teacher comments were positive. Implications for secondary, mainstreamed students and teachers were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cost effectiveness of four approaches to improving mathematics and reading performance of elementary school children is compared. Peer tutoring is found to be more cost-effective than computer-assisted instruction, and both are more cost-effective than reducing class size or increasing the length of the school day. (Author/JAZ)

A need was determined to evaluate the effectiveness of a tutoring program upon tutee performance in reading and mathematics since program inception. Records were data processed for 232 unique participants within a methodological alternative akin to an institutional cycle design. Variables for each participant extracted from data sources included name, grade equivalent scores in reading and mathematics on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, absentee records, dates of program participation, number of tutoring sessions, and grade level. SAS programs were applied to data processing and statistical analysis. Findings revealed that the tutorial program generally provided beneficial assistance over 3 years. Particularly, students during 1984-85 showed greater average gains in reading and mathematics achievement and more favorable changes in absenteeism than nonparticipating counterparts. Differences, however, were not statistically significant.

The need for a theoretical analysis of the peer tutoring process has been recognized by reviewers of the research in this area. This paper addresses itself to this need by discussing the process of peer tutoring from the various psychological, educational, and social perspectives. The main areas covered in the paper are: definitions of the peer tutoring process, the psychological and educational processes in peer tutoring as a learning and teaching experience, and the conceptualization of peer tutoring in terms of a cooperative social system and as a group reward structure. This theoretical discussion provides both the researcher and practitioner with a framework for studying and implementing peer tutoring for enhancing specific academic and social goals. .overlined { text-decoration: overline; } .struck { text-decoration:line-through; } .underlined { text-decoration:underline; } .doubleUnderlined { text-decoration:underline;border-bottom:1px solid #000; } ***;2-H">Enhanced Article (HTML) ***;2-H/epdf">Get PDF (988K)***;2-H/pdf">Get PDF (988K) More content like thisFind more content: ***;2-H&scope=allContent&start=1&resultsPerPage=20">like this articleFind more content written by: Jiska Cohen

AbstractIn two experiments, cross‐age and peer tutoring interventions conducted within special education settings were compared. In Experiment 1, learning disabled (LD) and behaviorally disordered (BD) students acted as tutors of younger LD and BD students. In Experiment 2, same‐age LD and BD students alternated tutor and tutee roles. In both experiments, tutors and tutees exhibited academic gains. Only in Experiment 1, however, were attitudinal gains observed. Implications for future research and practice are gi

This paper presents the major outcomes of a two-year trial of the Open University"s Cyclops shared-screen telewriting tutorial system. The impact of the system is considered in terms of the human factors of the technology; tutors’and students’experiences of Cyclops; and tutorial activities and their acceptability to the participants. .overlined { text-decoration: overline; } .struck { text-decoration:line-through; } .underlined { text-decoration:underline; } .doubleUnderlined { text-decoration:underline;border-bottom:1px solid #000; } Enhanced Article (HTML) Get PDF (3232K)Get PDF (3232K) More content like thisFind more content: like this articleFind more content written by: David McConnell

A cross-age tutoring program designed to improve school performance of tutors (adolescents classified as emotionally disturbed) and tutees (children classified as educable mentally retarded) was replicated in an urban public school district. Results showed that both tutors and tutees improved on academic and social measures of school performance. (Author/LMO)

This paper reports the results of an attempt to provide some empirical light on the efficacy of the group, after-school tutorial in basic reading and mathematics skills for inner city elementary school students. Students enrolled in KXIRA, a tutorial program in a major Southern city, are compared with non-KXTRA students by means of a matched pairs design. Success of CXTRA is measured in terms of KXTRA students’ improvement over time in the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills reading and mathematics scores compared to the improvement among their matched pair counterparts. In the final analysis, KXTR A achieves success in its mathematics tutorials but not in its reading program. Implications of the findings for both l\XTR A and tutorial programs in general are reviewed.
