Abstract

This study investigated the effect of peer tutoring strategy to the academic performance of Grade 11 students in Statistics and Probability during the 2nd semester of School Year 2018 – 2019 at the Isabela School of Arts and Trades – Main.

The semestral grades were the main data used in this study. The results revealed that the performance of the respondents after the intervention were significantly higher than before their exposure to the intervention. Based on the findings, there was an increase in the performance of Grade 11 students in using Peer Tutorial. It is recommended that teachers teaching mathematics should use Peer Tutorial when teaching lessons in Statistics and Probability. Furthermore, a similar study should be conducted to further test the effectiveness of Peer Tutorial.
