student

peer tutoring

friends are less threatening than a teacher

Both tutor and tutee benefit.

a study has shown that out of 4 tutees, 3 take fewer learn units to become competent in spelling when tutored by a peer than a teacher (daniel J moran and richerd w malott, Evidence based education methods, (elsevier inc, 2004), pg307, key instructional components of effective peer teaching, R.D. greer et. al.)

group learning

develop interdependence

Able to accept help and support others

Self-esteem and self-efficacy increased

gain social skills

responsibility

Able to be accountable for ones own actions

better communication

Able to express one’s grievances verbally

counselling

open-ended questions and reflection essays

To understand the problem better

Students better able to reflect on their actions and understand the root of their anger

thus the next time a conflict like that occurs, the student will be able to think it through, instead of blind anger.

hypothesis

the best solution to the problem of disruptive behaviour is the method of EFFECTIVE TEACHING.
