ABSTRACT

The research and case studies reported in the preceding chapters contain many useful suggestions for making a tutoring scheme work. To help readers pull it all together, Appendix A offers a checklist of those matters to which attention must be directed if a scheme is to work. The suggestions made are the fruits of scanning the research literature, practical experimentation, and more particularly listening to numerous accounts of the gritty details of tutoring schemes that somehow seem to slip through the cracks of formal research procedures. The object, therefore, of this short, concluding chapter is to emphasize a few key issues. (Those requiring more detail are referred to Peer Tutoring by Goodlad and Hirst, 1989.)
