The Effectiveness of Cross-Age Tutoring with Truant, Junior High School Students with Learning Disabilities.
Lazerson, David B.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n4 p253-55 Apr 1988
This study determined the effects of using truant and tardy junior high school learning-disabled students as tutors for younger learning-disabled pupils. After six weeks of tutoring, most of the 16 tutors showed a significant increase toward an internal orientation of locus of control and a decrease in truant/tardy behaviors. (Author/JDD)
