“…And peer support has been proven by convincing evidence as a strategy to support reading (Chairinkam, & Yawiloeng, 2021;Chun, & Cennamo, 2022;Ebrahimi, & Sadighi, 2022;Nguyen, 2022;Taheri, & Nazmi, 2021;Yawiloeng, 2021;Xu et al, 2022). In addition to peer support, expert/teacher support was also stated in the literature as an effective strategy for improving reading performance (Ebrahimi, & Sadighi, 2022;Li, Innoeduca.…”

This study, carried out within the design-based research framework, aimed to create a digital environment for students with learning problems to read better. The social constructivist approach was used in this study, which generally focuses on the assumption that reading is an active, interactive, dynamic, and social language skill. The instructional content, built on a learning management system, was developed in line with this strategy. Focus on the problem, understand the problem, define the design goals, outline the solution, create the solution, and test the solution stages. This results in effective and efficient digital teaching material that students with learning problems can use in their reading processes. The study clearly showed the development process of digital material, as well as a deep theoretical discussion.

“…So, structured and supervised helping behaviours in educational contexts may foster students' attitudes towards learning. Although previous researchers in the field have analysed one or even two of these variables, the literature in the field that includes moderation analysis among these variables or other student related variables is still scarce (Johns & Mills, 2021, Xu et al 2021…”

In this study reciprocal peer tutoring was implemented in middle school mathematics classes for a six-month period. The effects of this methodology on students' mathematics achievements, mathematics anxiety levels, attitudes toward mathematics, and mathematics self-concepts were examined. Study participants included 768 students in grades 7 to 9 (12 to 15 years old). Statistically significant differences and positive effect sizes were reported for mathematics achievement, mathematics anxiety level, and mathematics self-concept (Hedge's g average value of 0.28). No significant statistical differences were reported for mathematics attitude. Students' repeating condition acted as significant moderators for mathematics anxiety. The main conclusion is that reciprocal peer tutoring can be very beneficial academically and psychologically for middle school mathematics students.

“…In this research, peer tutoring was employed in combination with math digital tools in a middle school mathematics setting; students used the same digital tools and shared the same resource (tablet) and space (classroom), so they worked alongside each other rather than being physically separated. The novelty of our research resides in the fact that the majority of peer learning studies that include the use of digital tools involve remote learning, distance learning, or online interactions [21][22][23][24][25]. Several authors have recently indicated that even though information communication technologies (ICTs) enable pairs or groups of students to efficiently communicate at a distance, the physical distance between them may significantly alter not only the way they interact but also the way they help themselves and learn while they share their knowledge [26][27][28][29][30].…”

Peer Tutoring and Math Digital Tools: A Promising Combination in Middle School

Peer tutoring in combination with math digital tools was employed with middle school students learning mathematics. A total of 112 students in 9th grade (14 to 15 years old) participated in the study. A pretest–posttest with control group design was used. Students worked with systems of linear equations during the experience. The effects of the intervention of peer tutoring in combination with math digital tools on students’ mathematics achievement were examined using quantitative methods. The way students in the experimental group learned and their motivation towards using digital tools compared with students in the control group were analysed qualitatively. Statistically significant improvements and a large effect size were reported for students’ mathematics achievement in the experimental group. No statistically significant differences were reported between the pretest and the posttest for the control group. The qualitative analyses revealed that students in the experimental group achieved a higher level of autonomous learning, showed a greater association of mathematical concepts, helped their peers more, did more exercises and problems than students in the control group, and enjoyed the experience.
