Abstract:
Students need to be endowed with generic skills so as to meet the challenges of an ever changing and knowledge-based information society like Hong Kong. Traditional education systems that focus on memorization and examination cannot satisfy these new demands. So there is a need for the shift of learning and teaching (L&T). This paper shares the experience of launching "Peer Tutoring" in Advanced-Level Pure Mathematics subject in one school. It focuses on how peer tutoring influences students' learning behaviors and attitudes, learning effectiveness and skill promotion. The change of roles for students and teachers, advantages and limitations of peer tutoring will also be discussed.
