Peer Tutoring for Inclusion
Temple, Viviene A.; Lynnes, Michelle D.
ACHPER Australia Healthy Lifestyles Journal, v55 n2-3 p11-21 2008
Peer tutoring is a pedagogical technique that has promise to improve outcomes for students with a disability within existing resource constraints. Published empirically-based papers on peer-tutoring were descriptively analysed. Synthesis of these studies revealed that peer tutoring is effective in inclusive physical education contexts. Evidence from these effective studies has been used to provide a set of practical suggestions for implementing school-based peer tutor programs. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
