Julie E. Doty; Nathan E. Thompson – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Near-peer tutoring (NPT) programs are popular vehicles to supplement traditional delivery of medical school curricula, including for anatomy laboratory (AL) content. While NPT programs can result in improved preclinical coursework performance for tutees, little to no data specifically show a benefit of NPT in AL course performance. In 2021, NYIT…

Devers, Erin E.; Devers, Christopher J.; Miller, Paul D.; Alayan, Alexandra; Robertson, John; Baquet, Zachary; Ho, Nina; Echeverry, Shawnie; Heavner, Shayla K. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2022
Many factors contribute to the achievement gap in the U.S. As an intervention to help narrow the gap, tutoring presents a potentially powerful solution. Decades of research suggest that tutoring is an effective, evidence-based approach to improve student success, with effect sizes ranging from 0.4. to 2.0. As many school systems in the U.S. move…

Lutfun Nahar; Riza Sulaiman – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Studying and solving geometry questions are the most challenging parts of mathematics for visually impaired students (VIS). This study begins with the needs assessment to identify the needs of VIS, which shows that technology-assisted effective teaching and learning are not available for VIS to learn geometry. Therefore, this study focuses on…
