The purposes of this study were, on one had, to determine the impact of a peer tutoring program on preventing academic failure
and dropouts among first-year students (N = 100), from Civil Engineering, Economics, Pharmacy, and Chemical Engineering careers; while, on the other hand, to identify
the potential benefits of such tutoring program on the cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies and social skills of
student mentors in their last year of studies or already in a postgraduate program (N = 41) at the University of Granada (Spain). After building and selecting the measurement instruments necessary to gather
demographic and academic relevant information on both samples, and assigning first-year students to either an experimental
or control group, the intervention consisted of ten 90-min tutoring sessions during the first semester lead by student tutors
who, in turn, had undergone four 3-h training sessions on tutoring contents like planning and time management, cognitive and
metacognitive learning strategies, motivational strategies and the use of materials designed ad hoc for this program. The results show differences in favour of the treatment group on grade point average, performance rate,
success rate and learning strategies and, also, statistically significant pre-post differences for the tutors on learning
strategies and social skills. 相似文献

Over the past two decades, the Spanish educational system has undergone various legal reforms. However, judging by the low educational performance of Spanish students as reported by the OECD for the year 2001, it seems that additional reforms are necessary. Several factors may account for the failure of previous reforms to attain the desired results. These include: (a) educators' low expectations that further reforms will succeed, (b) lack of financial resources, (c) institutional lack of commitment to implement the structural and administrative changes called for and (d) the adoption of questionable theoretical models for making appropriate structural, curricular and educational decisions. This essay presents some suggestions for implementing a reform program that would bring about substantial changes in these areas. 相似文献
