Mathematics is all around us.
From going to school, buying foods and etc., we use mathematics. But even
though we use it every day some people find difficult in this matter. In
school, according to some students mathematics is a nightmare for them. Some
students taking course that doesn’t have math at all because for them number is
their enemy. That’s why taking up a course in the field of mathematics is a
challenging one.
When we are in first year in college those who are majoring in
mathematics find it easy but when we are in our sophomore year we realize that
our knowledge in math is just a dirty part of our fingernail compare to the
whole anatomy of mathematics. When we encounter problem solving every moment
seems to be dreadful. Only few of my classmates understand this matter that’s
why Peer tutoring was implemented in Sets of Students Majoring Mathematics.
Peer teaching is a method by which one student instructs another student in
material on which the first is an expert and the second is a novice. It was
done only once.
The goal of Peer tutoring is to help other
classmates to understand the lesson clearly but even though we implement this
activity still in our final exam we find the word problem difficult. Thus still
we are hoping that we will still implement this program for us to help also
other classmates to cope up with the lesson but the question is what if also
the tutor doesn’t understand the lesson? How he/she can teach other classmates
if she/he doesn’t understand the topic?
As quoted, “you cannot give what you don’t have”. But I believe that peer
tutoring still help us to understand the lesson and it will also help to build
camaraderie in our journey.
