This study explored the learning effectiveness for freshmen in peer tutoring. An interview was mainly implemented to conduct the research, together with a quantitative survey to assess the outcome. Eight freshmen who failed accounting were selected as the tutees in the one-by-one peer tutoring; eight volunteer senior students were trained as the tutors. Findings regarding peer tutoring implementation and learning effectiveness are as follows. First, in-service peer tutoring training is helpful to clarify tutor role in the program, mainly focusing on the helping skill and time management. Meanwhile, based on the confusion of tutor role and time management problems, continuous group supervision is a must to strengthen the implementation of peer tutoring. Thirdly, peer tutoring is able to promote tutors' self-efficacy and professional learning. In reference to learning effectiveness, tutees are satisfied with peer tutoring and tutors' performance. On the other hand, individual guidance from the tutors elicits tutees' learning pressure and responsibility as well, coupled with tutees' significant improvement in academic performance on accounting in the school year. In conclusion, several suggestions are further proposed to enhance and extend peer tutoring for freshmen. |
