Students are termed "multitaskers," and it is likely that they easily fall prey to other subjects or topics that most interest them. They occasionally took heed or gave close and thoughtful attention to the lectures they were on. In the current educational system, our young generations receive materials from their leftovers, and their…

Peer tutoring is beneficial as a method of education because it allows students with different learning styles to work together in comfortable settings to complete academic assignments that will improve their grades. Peer tutoring gives students of all skill levels the chance to collaborate, democratically, and amicably work on academic…

In many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains, instruction on foundational concepts heavily relies on visuals. Instructors often assume that students can mentally visualize concepts but students often struggle with internal visualization skills--the ability to mentally visualize information. In order to address this…

The present paper evaluates the processes of reading acquisition in Latin from the component-skills approach and discusses how advances in reading in modern foreign languages could be adapted to the specific needs of Latin as a historical language. Compared to the holistic and socially embedded approaches to modern foreign language acquisition,…

In 2020, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) faculty within a United Kingdom university implemented an online personal tutoring model. This model aimed to deliver a consistent experience to ~1000 students, supporting learning and fostering a sense of belonging during a global pandemic. Here we describe and evaluate a Curriculum…

In spring 2024, the authors surveyed 190 American School District Panel member districts about what interventions (e.g., tutoring, additional staff, additional instruction time) they were still using during the 2023-2024 school year to assist with students' learning recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related setbacks.…

Despite recent interventions aimed at reducing inequity in the Romanian education system, educational gaps persist and, in some respects, are even widening. International assessment results indicate significant disparities in student performance. These same gaps are also evident in national testing. In this context, targeted interventions from the…

This study examines the impact of educational robotics and cross-age peer tutoring in primary education and focuses explicitly on the outcomes for tutors and tutees. Forty students from a public school in a European country participated, with fifth graders as tutors and fourth graders as tutees. Using the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Set, both…

Outcomes-Based Contracting (OBC) ties vendor payments to performance metrics, aiming to enhance accountability in public education. This study examines its implementation in tutoring services through the Southern Education Foundation pilot program. Interviews with district leaders and vendors reveal that OBC fosters collaboration, improves service…

High-dosage tutoring or high-impact tutoring refers to a type of tutoring proven to be effective at closing learning gaps and improving student outcomes. This systemic approach uses an empirically supported model and is delivered by a consistent, trained tutor on a near-daily basis and takes place during the school day for 10-36 weeks. In the wake…

The paper considers digital tutoring platforms as commercial products in the shadow education sector. In particular, it focuses on relatively new platforms which purportedly act as tutors themselves: web-based learning software providing "intelligent tutoring systems.' The question is not how effective and beneficial these platforms are for…

When students are first learning to program, they not only have to learn to write programs, but also how to trace them. Code tracing involves stepping through a program step-by-step, which helps to predict the output of the program and identify bugs. Students routinely struggle with this activity, as evidenced by prior work and our own experiences…

In this study, we investigate a program designed for young adults with intellectual disability to learn how to calculate the value of a collection of coins and notes with procedural fluency. In the first half of the paper, we establish the importance of financial literacy for people with intellectual disability and the need to address mathematical…

The researchers conducted a qualitative case study to describe the teaching and learning of a third grade student with a learning disability as he worked on multiplicative tasks with a tutor. The student's strategies, at participatory and anticipatory levels of understanding, were analyzed to inform instructional decisions we made to support the…

Derived math fact fluency becomes more imperative across all mathematical content areas during a students' mathematics development. However, many of them struggle to automate the most basic math facts sufficiently and therefore are not able to deal with more complex mathematical problems. This leads to the fact that many of them are already left…
