“Between formulas and freestyle” – a qualitative analysis of peer tutor preparation and its impact on peer relations

BackgroundPeer tutorials are widely used in medical and health professions education. Some evidence suggests that peer tutorials can have positive effects for student peer tutors and tutees alike. To promote these positive effects, peer tutors are often prepared for their tasks. However, detailed information about this preparation is missing in the literature. The present study thus examines from the tutors’ perspective how peer tutor preparation is conducted, both in interprofessional and uniprofessional contexts, and how this preparation affects peer relations.MethodsA qualitative design was used for the study. For data gathering, three online focus group discussions were conducted with student peer tutors from uniprofessional and interprofessional settings who had a background in health professions. Data were analysed inductively via thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 19 individuals participated in three focus group discussions (n = 6/n = 6/n = 7). From the participants’ perspective, preparation measures were heterogenous. Of a wide range of different measures, some were perceived as more helpful, others as less helpful. In analysing the data, three relevant themes came up which were dereived from the peer tutors’ perspective: roles, eye level, and (self-)trust. All three themes were found to be closely related and appeared to have a direct influence on peer relations. This influence on the learning/teaching process was either positive or negative depending on the respondents’ experiences.ConclusionFrom the peer tutors’ perspective, the preparation they received affected their relationships with their peers in a variety of ways, influenced by the context and the peer tutors’ needs. This finding should be taken into account when planning and implementing future preparatory activities. In addition, further pedagogical considerations and discussions about preparatory activities for peer tutors and their potential impact on social and cognitive congruence are needed.

Cohort Survival of the K to 12 Student Entrants Towards the Development of Strategic Interventions Supportive to Cbea-mmsu Programs

The study was undertaken to determine the cohort survival rate of the pioneer batch of the K to 12 student entrants of the eight (8) degree programs at the College of Business, Economics and Accountancy (CBEA), identify the underlying factors triggering the student dropout and institutionalize an intervention program to support the successful retention and graduation of all students. The Reconstructed Cohort Method was used and places less demand on the availability of detailed data over time. This method makes three assumptions: dropouts never return to school; the promotion, repetition and drop-out rates observed in the last two years remain constant over the entire period in which the cohort is enrolled in school and the same rates apply to all students enrolled in a given year level, regardless of whether they previously repeated a subject. A comprehensive analysis on the data gathered was done to process the underlying factors which will serve as valuable inputs in the design of programs and policies to reduce the dropout rate and support the successful retention and graduation of students. Findings showed that the survival rate of the pioneer batch of the K to 12 student entrants of the different programs range from 55.5% (BS Accountancy) to 97.5% (BSBA HRM) or an average of 81.62%. Overall, the survival rate among the males is 84.14% and the females is 80.86%. Majority (81.03%) of the respondents who were not able to finish their schooling on time indicated academic-related as their reason. Others mentioned about personal/family concern (17.24) and one indicated career concern. Some of the suggested interventions supportive to CBEA programs include: the implementation of an institutionalized Academic Advising Program, conduct of series of Academic Advising workshop, Academic Counseling, referral, group counselling, a more aggressive admission interview, parent/guardian conference, peer tutorial, financial assistance program and documentation of academic advising and counseling sessions. In addition, Guidance counselors must be one of the signatories in the dropping out and shifting forms. A replication research study involving different programs in the university is recommended.

Learners’ Scaffolding Techniques: Their Advantages in Learning Mathematics

This study aimed to examine the extent of advantages of the scaffolding techniques and how they relate to the academic performance of learners in Mathematics. The respondents of the study were the 312 randomly selected Grade 7 learners from a public secondary school in the Division of Negros Oriental during the academic year 2023- 2024. The study employed the descriptive-correlational research design and utilized a validated questionnaire. Statistical methods employed in this study encompassed percentage, mean, weighted mean, and Multiple Regression Analysis. The findings revealed that learners have “very high” perceptions on the advantages of scaffolding techniques in learning Mathematics in terms of one-on-one peer tutorial, group study, teacher demonstration, video tutorial, and self-directed learning. Moreover, the overall academic performance rating of the learners in Mathematics is at the “satisfactory” level. Furthermore, the learners’ perceived effectiveness of the following scaffolding techniques significantly predicts their academic performance in Mathematics: one-on-one peer tutorial, group study, teacher demonstration, and video tutorial. By embracing and enhancing scaffolding techniques, educators can not only elevate the learning experiences of students in Mathematics but also potentially extend these positive outcomes to other academic disciplines.

950 Optimising Remote Near-Peer Teaching for Undergraduate Clinical Orthopaedic Skills - a Series of Quality Improvement

Abstract Aim Undergraduate medical education has changed significantly following the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating the adaption of medical education to an online environment. The aim of this quality improvement project was to develop and refine a series of online orthopaedic teaching sessions to supplement history and examination teaching within the undergraduate curriculum. Method Near peer tutorials, led by final year students, were delivered to year 4 students at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. The series of interactive tutorials ran three times throughout the academic year. Qualitative and quantitative feedback was collected, and the tutorial content adapted and improved for future sessions. Attendees ranked their confidence to deal with orthopaedic pathology pre and post session on a Likert scale to quantify the value of these sessions. Results Attendees ranked their confidence in dealing with orthopaedic pathologies on a 1-10 Likert scale to quantify the effectiveness of the teaching sessions. Cycle 1 for the history and examination tutorials demonstrated a +2.75 (p = <0.001) and +3.15 (p = <0.001) mean improvement in overall student perceived ability. By cycle 3 this was increased to 2.64 (p = <0.001) for the history tutorial and +3.5 (p = 0.027) for the examination tutorial. Conclusions We have demonstrated that traditionally practical skills including history taking and orthopaedic examinations can be successfully implemented in a virtual environment. Online teaching methods can be utilised with great success within undergraduate trauma and orthopaedic teaching. Ensuring session interactivity, limiting session duration, and providing students with live feedback can greatly improve student satisfaction and thus improve the learning experience.

A Study on the Effectiveness Peer Tutorial in Learning Korean Language among Vietnamese Students

A Study on the Effectiveness Peer Tutorial in Learning Korean Language among Vietnamese Students

Interprofessional peer-assisted learning and tutor training practices in health professions education-A snapshot of Germany.

Peer-assisted learning (PAL)-especially peer tutorials-are gaining momentum in health professions education, particularly in interprofessional education. As little is known about the use of peer tutorials or the preparation of tutors in this context in Germany and in other countries, this study aims to provide an overview of these interventions. A cross-sectional study with a descriptive-exploratory design was conducted. German institutions for health professions education were contacted, and individuals with pedagogical responsibilities were invited to participate in an online survey. The survey was informed by two studies in which seven domains were identified as important. These included facts about the institution, the offer of PAL, the use of tutorials, and the design of tutor training. The survey used mostly closed-ended questions. The questionnaire was completed by n = 100 participants. Overall, n = 46 participants indicated that PAL was offered at their institution. Of these 46 participants, 32 (70%) indicated that uniprofessional PAL was offered, 2 (4%) indicated that interprofessional PAL was offered, and 12 (26%) indicated that both forms of PAL were offered. Peer tutoring was the most common format in both cases (73% for uniprofessional and 64% for interprofessional PAL), and mandatory interventions were mostly used to prepare the tutors. These interventions were held by educators or lecturers and were offered mostly face-to-face as workshops or as discussions. Deepening the tutors' social competencies through training was given high relevance. Regarding content, focus was placed on communication, (self-)reflection, and group management. Eighty-eight participants expressed recommendations for future directions in terms of preparing tutors for interprofessional PAL. Minor differences between the use of uniprofessional and interprofessional PAL and tutor training were found. Nevertheless, implementation strategies varied. In future, preparatory measures for tutors should be more uniformly designed and geared to the specific requirements of uniprofessional and interprofessional learning, and that at best on an empirical basis.

Build an arc (accounting resource center) and they will come…or will they?

The authors present one university’s experience creating drop-in, peer tutorial services for students in an introductory accounting class. First, data suggest that students most in need of tutoring support used the services the least. Second, findings appear to support the existence of self-selection bias: 40% of the students who visited the Accounting Resource Center had cumulative GPAs greater than 3.0. These students averaged more visits and spent more time than students who ultimately received a D, F, or W for the course. Results indicate the Accounting Resource Center was used disproportionately more by students who have an established history of success at the university.
