| Popis: | Peer tutoring (PT), as a pedagogical technique, is a form of collaborative learning that consists in a student (tutor) teaching a certain knowledge to a peer (tutee). Widely studied within the literature, it has been implemented in different contexts and educational levels. However, little is known about the multiple application methods of PT, which vary according to each educational situation. Therefore, using a documentary method, a meticulous description of the PT implementation variables and their numerous variants is presented, using the classification presented by Topping (2015) and Leung (2015) as a guide. In addition, new variables previously not considered are proposed. For this purpose, 26 empirical studies of PT were thoroughly selected and analyzed. All the articles were focused exclusively on developing academic skills, reading, writing and mathematics, and took place in different educational levels, primary, secondary and higher education. Furthermore, a first approach to the analysis of the most predominant PT implementation variables in each educational level and academic ability is presented. The article concludes with its scopes and limitations, proposing new research horizons. |
