Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of peer tutoring
programs in enhancing social science learning in educational settings. It
examines the shift from traditional teacher-centered learning to
learner-centered approaches, emphasizing the importance of cooperative learning
and positive interpersonal relationships among students. Peer tutoring, wherein
students teach and assist their peers in learning, is highlighted as a
significant instructional strategy. The study reviews literature on peer
tutoring, including its historical development, theoretical foundations, and
empirical evidence supporting its benefits. Various studies demonstrate the
positive impact of peer tutoring on academic achievement, social integration,
and skill development among students, particularly those with special needs.
The findings underscore the need for learner-centered, active classrooms where
peer tutoring facilitates meaningful learning experiences and fosters
collaborative problem-solving. Overall, the study advocates for the adoption of
peer tutoring programs as a valuable educational tool to promote student
engagement, academic success, and positive learning environments.
