I get by with a little help from my friends

    This project explored using peer learning/assessment to improve the confidence and problem-solving skills of Maths GCSE resit and Functional Skills students.
    Areas of learning
    What is this about and what were the main findings?

    By taking away isolation within the classroom, it was hoped that negative emotions and attitudes could be overcome. The two pproaches trialled were ‘student tutoring student’ and the forming of study groups within a session to solve problems, which appear to have had a positive impact.
