"I Must Be Good if I Can Teach!"--Peer Tutoring with Aggressive and Withdrawn Children.

Lazerson, David B.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v13 n3 p152-57 Mar 1980

The study involving 60 withdrawn and aggressive elementary school students tested the hypothesis that Ss would benefit from participating in daily learning sessions with peers having similar behavioral problems. After 5 weeks of peer tutoring, almost all Ss who actively participated in the program showed higher gains than control Ss in self-concepts and behavioral improvement. (Author/CL)
