...Paolo Virgil G. Mariano BLOCK EN Ian Steven Corsame Homework in ENLRES “Educational Outcomes of Tutoring: A Meta-Analysis of Findings” A meta-analysis of findings from 65 independent evaluations of school tutoring programs showed that these programs have positive effects on the academic performance and attitudes of those who receive tutoring. Tutored students outperformed control students on examinations, and they also developed positive attitudes toward the subject matter covered in the tutorial programs. The meta-analysis also showed that tutoring programs have positive effects on children who serve as tutors. Like the children they helped, the tutors gained a better understanding of and developed more positive attitudes toward the subject matter covered in the tutorial program. Participation in tutoring programs had little or no effect, however, on the self-esteem of tutors and tutees. The tutoring programs offered in many elementary and secondary schools today differ in an important way from yesterday's tutorial programs. In most modern programs, children are tutored by peers or paraprofessionals rather than by regular school teachers or professional tutors. The use of peer and paraprofessional tutors has dramatically affected the availability of tutoring programs. No longer a luxury available only to aristocratic elites, tutoring programs today are open to boys and girls in ordinary classrooms throughout the country. Hundreds of teachers and researchers already...

...Marketing Project Juan G Martinez Jr October 18, 2013 Marketing Management 522 Professor Ken Ninomiya 1.0 Executive Summary 2.0 Situation Analysis At this present time, the tutoring industry is not showing any signs of slowing down as the number of students in school continue to grow. It is also important to point out that as the number of students increase, so does the concern of the parents that seek tutoring for their children. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of students who were attending public and private schools was at approximately 75.9 million as of the fall of 2010. The current trend is showing that the number of students attending school will continue to increase at a rate of approximately 6% per year through the year 2019 (Digest of Education Statistics 2010). According to an article that went over the best industries to start a business, the tutoring and exam preparation industry was rank seventh as it relates to the fastest-growing industries that are hospitable to small business. It was also indicated that the year-over-year growth rate of this industry was measured to be at 7% (Lagorio-Chafkin 2010). However, there is an opportunity that has not clearly been taken advantage of to its fullest potential within the tutoring industry. As of the fall of 2010, there were approximately 20.6 million people who are enrolled in college with the trend demonstrating an increasing rate of students attending at 14% (Digest of Education...

Sañosa February 1996 ABSTRACT This study attempted to assess the effects of peer tutoring on the achievement in and attitude towards Physics of high school senior students of Naval Institute of Technology, SY 1995-1996. Five high school senior students with the highest grade point average from first year to third year high school in English, Mathematics, and Science were used as peer tutors. The subjects of the study were fifty high school senior students randomly selected and assigned into two groups, the peer tutored or experimental group and non-peer tutored or the control group. The two groups answered the achievement test in electromagnetic energy and a scale to measure attitude towards Physics before and after the conduct of study. The result indicated that students in both groups increased their level of achievement during the study. Morever, with the use of two-tailed test, it was revealed that the level of achievement of students in...

...Research Spotlight on Peer Tutoring NEA Reviews of the Research on Best Practices in Education Found In: teaching strategies 145 Peer tutoring is a term that’s been used to describe a wide array of tutoring arrangements, but most of the research on its success refers to students working in pairs to help one another learn material or practice an academic task. Peer tutoring works best when students of different ability levels work together (Kunsch, Jitendra, & Sood, 2007). During a peer tutoring assignment it is common for the teacher to have students switch roles partway through so that the tutor becomes the one being tutored. Since explaining a concept to another helps extend one’s own learning, this practice gives students the opportunity to understand better the material being studied. What does the research say about peer tutoring? In reviews of peer tutoring programs, researchers found: * When students participated in the role of reading tutor, improvements in reading achievement occurred * When tutors were explicitly trained in the tutoring process, they were far more effective and the students they were tutoring experienced significant gains in achievement * Most of the students benefited from peer tutoring in some way, but same-age tutors were as effective as cross-age tutors (Burnish, Fuchs & Fuchs, 2005; Topping, 2008) Some benefits of peer tutoring for students include higher academic achievement, improved relationships with peers, improved personal...

...Introduction Shuell (cited in Ertmer & Newby, 2013 p.45) defines learning as an “enduring change in behaviour, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience.” It is from this central motif that I will discuss my own philosophy of knowing and learning through the support of relevant educational theories and my personal experiences of tutoring this semester at Thomastown West Learning Club. I will also evaluate the theories critically and analyze their limitations and/or benefits when implemented during tutoring. My philopshy of knowing and learning is that no one learner is the same and learning effectively requires the tutor to understand the student through their education level,...

...planning, learning theory, and training needs analysis Benoitte Muzitu Professor JEANETTE HORNER-SMITH BUS 407 07/28/2011 1. The training process model refers to steps which are taken in order to ensure company growth, and business change. When managing any training process, it is usually recommend that company leaders work closely with functional department heads and Human Resources personnel in following a systematic approach to training. A good system will help attack training problems using a “rifle” approach, rather than a “shotgun” approach. The following are five generic steps or phases in the model that we as trainers simply call A.D.D.I.E. These steps will help build a training program, and will increase chances of assembling an effective program. By analyzing the need, or performing a “needs assessment,” is crucial in identifying the information that must be addressed in the program. This is where the question, “What do we want our employees to get out of the program?” is asked. A great way to complete this phase is to perform a “gap analysis” by comparing current results to the desired performance. Another way to perform this phase is to treat team members as stakeholders in the process, much like we treat customers. Get their help by asking for specifications for the training. After all, they know where they need help...particularly when it comes to delivering a better product or dealing with customers. This analysis is also useful in creating metrics that...

...subjects. Many parents and concerned citizen feel as if not enough time is spent preparing students for the CRCT test. The Peach County Schools Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) group meets once a month to discuss strategies on how to improve students’ academic grade which will lead to passing the CRCT test. The PTO group agrees that students need extra help outside of school. Currently, Peach County School’s does not have the funding to operate an afterschool program. To improve student’s academic grade and CRCT results a free afterschool tutoring program need to be organized. My Challenge Living in a small community where resources are limited for a tutoring program for the school-age children. All students deserve the opportunity to learn. Most of the classrooms are overcrowded. The teacher’s main focus is to teach each lesson in a timely matter which can be a struggle for most students. Research shows that well designed-tutoring programs will increase academic achievement for elementary students. Student will also show improvement in behavior and social skills. While much of the literature on effective after-school programs...

...EDA 535 ADA vs. ADM May 28, 2014 Distributing funds into a school can be quite a challenge, especially in a situation where there is only one funding source. Because the schools in the state are not allowed to levy local taxes, a plan will have to be created to ensure that appropriate actions are in place to make sure that there is an equalized distribution of funding. “Average Daily Attendance (ADA) counts are based on the numbers of children actually in attendance in a school or district each day. Average Daily Membership (ADM) measures the numbers of children enrolled to attend a specific district throughout the year” (retrieved from schoolfinance101.wordpress.com). For example, at a particular school in a district there is a population of 1,000 students with 90% attendance and the weighted pupil units per district is $5,000. When using ADM, the weighted pupil units will remain at $5,000. However, if ADA is being used, the actual WPU would be $4,500. This would be a $500 decrease. With the aforementioned definitions of ADA and ADM, I would choose to use Average Daily Membership when distributing funds. Because ADA uses attendance rates, schools with lower attendance rates would suffer. Research shows that “districts with high poverty concentration and high minority concentrations have lower attendance rates for reasons beyond control” (retrieved from schoolfinance101.wordpress.com). Unfortunately, Louisiana has several districts with both high poverty and high...

...87 .,~. Peer Tutoring and the "Conversation of Mankind" by Kenneth A. Bruffee The beginnings of peer tutoring lie in practice, not in theory. A decade or so ago, faculty and administrators in a few institutions around the country became aware that, increasingly, students entering college had difficulty doing as well in academic studies as their abilities suggested they should be able to do. Some of these students were in many ways poorly prepared academically. Many more of them, however, had on paper excellent secondary preparation. The common denominator among the poorly prepared and the apparently well prepared seemed to be that, for cultural reasons we may not yet fully under stand, all these students had difficulty adapting to the traditional or "normal" conventions of the college classroom. One symptom of the difficulty was that many of these students refuSed .help when it was offered. Mainly, colleges offered ancillary programs staffed by professionals. Students avoided them in droves. Many solutions to this problem were suggested and tried, from mandated programs to sink-or-swim. One idea that seemed at the time among the most exotic and unlikely (that is, in the jargon of the Sixties, among the most "radical") turned out to work rather well. Some of us had guessed that students were refusing the help we were providing because it seemed to them merely an extension of the work, the expectations, and above all the social structure of traditional classroom learning. And...

...During my time at the school I have noticed the behavioral and academic struggles of these children. The dialogue that is used, the lack of vocabulary and effort, and the disrespect was mind-blowing. One of the main things that struck me was the fact that some students were much farther ahead than others. I helped several students with their homework and some of them were very efficient in language and mathematics, while others struggled with simple words and basic calculations. The students that were farther ahead seemed annoyed at the other student, and this seemed to cause a negative effect on academic performance. From my own analysis, I believe that the students that were struggling more academically were the ones who are embellished in poverty and suffer more at home. The teachers had a major impact on the attitude in the learning environment. I noticed that when the teacher was yelling and barking orders at the students, the students seemed to behave worse and contained a negative attitude. When the teachers had an optimistic tone and were supportive the students seemed to behave better and achieved higher academic success in completely the required homework. Allen Elementary may be filled with poverty stricken students, but I believe that the resources that the school can provide can help increase the chances for academic...
