Poster Title Peer Tutoring Effect on Metacognition
Abstract Metacognition is the knowledge of knowledge. (Schraw, 1995) Metacognition is necessary so individuals know how to learn and how they relate to others. While studies have been conducted exploring the benefits of peer learning, this knowledge was only investigated once. A single non-repeated experiment cannot reliably prove or deny important scientific discoveries. In a previous study metacognition was researched to find the distinct types of learning in a classroom and the formulas for learning. (Pooja K. Agarwal 2018 2019) It is important to learn about peer learning to find the significant effects and benefits, to learn metacognitive strategies with themselves and their peers. With this information, we can improve our lives with peer tutoring. The data will be collected by means of a questionnaire/survey. An unpredictable number of participants will be selected based on availability. The survey will include structures of a Likert Scale. Participants will answer how often they participate in peer tutoring, and they will be urged to not continue the survey if they do not participate in peer tutoring at all. Participants will describe how confident they feel with peer tutoring, how effective peer tutoring appears to them, and whether they feel it is best to learn with others or alone. The significance of this study is that individuals will discover the best methods to further their education and learning.
