A study of the strategies of peer tutoring in computer literacy education

A study was conducted to analyze the strategies of peer tutoring in computer literacy education. The study focused on creating a learning environment where the child has a peer as a teacher, and where they can then enjoy learning literary competence together. The investigation aimed to examine the attitudes that a tutor and a learner should acquire in this challenge of peer education, and to research changes in attitudes of a learner through observing how methods are applied when a peer-tutor teaches their peer learner and by analyzing their conversations in the whole process. The results of the research showed that a peer-tutor should have attitudes, such as modeling, rewarding, and querying, while a peer-learner should have attitudes that include asking for help, seeking confirmation, and understanding his/her peer-tutor's mind. It was also found that the learner could come to better understand and cooperate with their peers, and even had a strong desire to learn more.
