I was just wondering if there is any research out there that says that, under so and so conditions, tutoring works. I am designing a bit of research the end of this quarter that hopes to answer the question, "Does tutoring work?" I am tutor coordinator for UAB Athletic Department, and much of our budget goes to fund tutoring. I am not convinced that intentisive tutoring is better than study hall. That is what I would like to know. I will be comparing the grades of "Yes tutoring" bunch vs "No tutoring" bunch. Also taking into account other variables such as number of hours tutored, class level, mandatory tutoring vs non-mandatory tutoring, etc. etc. I hope that my research indicates that tutoring helps, because we are spending thousands and thousands of dollars for little gain. Anyone know of any research? Stacy Kinnell Athletic Academic Advisor/Tutor Coordinator UAB Blazers
