Description
The Handbook of Peer Tutoring is the authoritative resource on the emerging interdisciplinary field of peer tutoring in higher education. Addressing multiple audiences such as undergraduate tutors in advanced trainings, students immersing themselves in the research of learning and writing centres, professionals seeking to understand the history and current state of the field, and researchers specialising in peer-led learning, the book gathers the voices that define the current state of the field into one volume.
In doing so, it brings authors and ideas from previously discrete areas of study—learning centres, writing centres, the scholarship of teaching & learning, communication, composition, developmental education, psychology, and others—into conversation with one another. It advances the case for a single, shared scholarship of post-secondary peer tutoring that spans numerous disciplines, professional communities, and continents.
Each contribution within the volume establishes the state of the research with respect to a specific question or topic and proposes directions for future research. Collectively, the volume both synthesises and advances the state of the field, while also providing a roadmap for its future growth.
