The Relationship between Peer Tutoring and Disruptive Behavior of Second Grade Students.
Winder, Linda; And Others
In an effort to assess the effectiveness of peer tutoring in reducing the frequency of disruptive behavior among students, a second grade class was taught with two alternating methods, direct instruction and peer tutoring. Nine types of disruptive behaviors were recorded during each of the two instructional treatments: out-of-seat behavior, talking, stalling, physical aggression, task incompletion, ignoring of directions, negative attitude, arguing, and disruptive noises. Over a 16-day treatment period, there were fewer disruptive behavior patterns in the peer tutoring group than in the direct instruction group. Stalling and negative attitudes were more frequent in the direct instruction group, while arguing was more frequent in the peer tutoring group. (RH)
