CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Peer tutoring has become a popular approach to help

students improve their academic performance. Academic

performance is a critical factor in determining a student

future success and opportunities. However, not all students

have access to have the same resources and support system that

can help them achieve their academic goals. One such resource

peer tutoring, which involves student teaching and learning

from each other in a supportive and collaborative environment.

As far as peer tutoring is concerned, it is teaching strategy

where a group of student interact to help each other’s

learning by one student occupying the role of tutor and the

other the role of tutee. Usually, peer tutoring involves the

linking of intelligent students with less intelligent one’s.

The researchers aim to investigate the effect of peer

tutoring to the academic performance of Grade 10 students of

Julio Ledesma National High School and to explore the benefits

of peer tutoring the factors that contribute to its success on

the challenges that may hinder its implementation.

This study will provide valuable insight into the

effectiveness of peer tutoring as a means of improving

academic performance. The researchers seek to determine the

effect of peer tutoring to the academic performance of Grade


10 student in Julio Ledesma National High School. This study

will focus the Grade 10 student in JLNHS, it will also include

a survey to gather feedback from the Grade 10 student

regarding their experience with the peer tutoring.


CHAPTER 2

RELATED REVIEW OF LITERATURE

In study by Perrott and Davis (2013), Peer tutoring is an

instructional strategy that involves students helping each

other learn content through repetition of key concepts. This

meta-analysis examined effects of peer tutoring across 26

single-case research experiments for 938 students in Grades 1–

12.

In study by Ullah and tabassum (2018), it was found that

the mean score of the experimental group was significantly

better than that of the control group. It was concluded that

peer tutoring enhanced the academic achievement of students in

the experimental group significantly as compared to the

control group; hence, it was an effective method of

instruction for teaching Biology at secondary level.

In study by Abdul Raheem (2017), peer tutoring has

generated a great deal of scholarly interest in the field of

education. It is viewed as an essential instructional strategy

for inclusive education because it constitutes one of the

strongholds of cooperative Learning. This study examines the

effect of peer tutoring and the moderating effect of gender on

the academic performance of economics students in Ilorin-South

Local Government of Kwara State, Nigeria. Two intact classes

in two different secondary schools were selected for this


study. The Experimental (peer tutoring) group had a population

of 40 students while the control (conventional instruction)

group had a population of 38 students.

A study by Bridget Wolfe (2018), The benefits of the use

of peer tutoring are innumerable. With the rising criticism of

the American education system and the decline in the

affordability and availability of resources to assist

classroom teachers, the use of peer tutoring has been proven

to be a Cost-effective method to increasing student

achievement in the classroom, they also found that “training

improved Outcomes, structured procedures improved outcomes,

and that same-age tutoring was as Effective as cross-age

tutoring”
