Overview
Research Topic: The role of peer tutoring and mentoring in developmental education is the focus of reasearch. I wish to address this topic after observing the positive impacts of peer support networks across various educational settings and recognizing a research gap. This gap is specifically related to developmental education and led me to this concept. My objective or problem I would like to solve, is to fill the existing void in understanding how peer tutoring and mentoring can enhance students' academic success and retention in developmental education programs. The benefits of identifying effective strategies for implementing peer support networks, research in this area can provide valuable insights for both practice and further study. This will ultimately lead to improved student outcomes and more efficient use of educational resources.
Using the literature you’ve reviewed to - date, write a paper, not to exceed 10 pages, that is comprehensive, critical and contextualized. That means that it will provide the reader with a survey of published works that pertain to your investigation AND an analysis of that work. The review is not and should not be just a group of summaries. The literature review is a critical, factual overview of what studies have been conducted before. The brief paper may also provide the reader with a theory base for your study – if you’ve already reviewed such literature. But keep in mind, the literature review is not the place to present research data of your own (unless it has been previously published, that is). You must include no fewer than 5 empirical, primary sources. The sources you use should be timely, current (studies conducted within the last 5-7 years) and scholarly. (Some older sources can be considered and included. This includes landmark and classic studies. Your decision to include such works should depend on the content, significance and contribution to the field.
