Mutual Peer Tutoring: Effects of Structuring Tutorial Interaction to Scaffold Peer Learning.
King, Alison; Staffieri, Anne; Adelgais, Anne
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n1 p134-52 Mar 1998
A study involving 58 seventh graders in same-gender dyads in three mutual peer tutoring conditions demonstrates that tutorial interaction can be structured so that same-ability age mates can scaffold each other's higher order thinking and learning. Scaffolding is not necessarily restricted to situations in which one partner is more knowledgeable or competent. (SLD)
