Exploring and Implementing Available Writing Educational Technology for Students with Disabilities and Their Peers

“…And, by teaching others how to use Voice Typing, SWDs can practice their skills with the tool, as well. As the tutor, they needed to be able to identify errors that their tutees are making and provide explicit instruction to correct these errors (Lundberg et al, 2022), a skill which requires them to have a deeper understanding of the tool.…”

“…Numerous studies dating back to the 1980s have shown that using peer tutoring and other variations of peer-to-peer learning strategies increase engagement and improve academic outcomes for SWDs (Cook et al, 2017). Both the tutor and the tutee benefit from the experience and have shown improvement in academic achievement, social skills, and academic engagement (Lundberg et al, 2022). Peer tutoring has been shown to increase time on task, provide opportunities for practice, give regular feedback, and allow for frequent opportunities to respond (Bowman-Perrott et al, 2016).…”

Utilizing Proximity for Increasing Student Knowledge Retention: A Near-Peer Tutoring Program Needs Study

“…Nevertheless, these pale in comparison to the tried-and-true practice of peer-to-peer education summed up in the classical (or at some institutions, infamous) medical school motto, "see one, do one, teach one" [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Numerous studies have demonstrated the utility and effectiveness of peer-to-peer tutorial sessions and the ability they have to improve learning of both the tutor and those who are being tutored [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Peer tutoring has been utilized at several academic centers and in numerous programs around the globe [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

As defined by the article by Shenoy and Petersen [15] and the article by Olaussen A et al [16], the program proposed for use here would be a near-peer tutoring (NPT) endeavor, in which, for our study in particular, senior medical students removed from having taken the courses would act as near-peer tutors for students.…”
