The Effectiveness of Peer Tutoring in Elevating the Academic Performance of KUPTM Students

Abstract

In most higher-learning institutions, peer tutoring is becoming a phenomenon. Peer tutoring is an instructional learning method involving students teaching other students. Students work in pairs to help each other understand a subject or do an academic assignment. Peer tutoring works best when students of different skill levels collaborate. This study's primary purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of peer tutoring in elevating the academic performance of KUPTM students. The research site has been chosen to be conducted within KUPTM due to the samples mostly being in the range of age from 18-31 years old. This will ensure that the researchers will receive answers and responses in a more matured and structured form. Furthermore, this research's specified area is justified to be in KUPTM because the ground objectives of this particular research are to explore the functionality of peer tutoring programs as the element of elevation in the success and performance of KUPTM students.
