Teaching and learning Biology and Geology through peer tutoring

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to present the experience of peer tutoring conducted with students of ESO in the area of Biology and Geology. On the one hand, from a quantitative perspective we analyze their effectiveness of a series of cognitive and emotional variables (achievement, self-concept and attitude of solidarity). And secondly, we examine the perceptions of students regarding those improvements experienced through focus groups. From this initiative we adopt a form of classroom work that meets the demands of society and is part of the inclusive model.
