Research on the Effect of Peer Tutoring on College Students'Learning Outcomes:A Meta-Analysis of 30 Experimental or Quasi-Experimental Studies
The existing scholarship has not reached a consensus on whether and to what extent peer tutoring can affect college students'learning outcomes.The study employs a meta-analysis method to systematically analyze 30 experimental or quasi-experimental studies.The results show that peer tutoring positively affects college students'learning outcomes,with a combined effect size of 0.782.More specifically,peer tutoring plays a significant role in enhancing college students'academic performance and professional skills,but its impact on emotional attitudes is relatively limited.Additionally,the effect is moderated by the length,form,grade level of peer tutoring,and type of curriculum.The university should improve the institutional environment,establish more concerted and sustainable mechanisms,and adopt short-cycle,cross-grade,and group tutoring modes to better enhance the learning outcomes of college students.
