Overview of the Impacts of Inquiry-Based and Peer Teaching Strategies on Mathematics Achievement

Abstract

This study looked at Overview of the Impacts of Inquiry-Based and Peer Teaching Strategies on Mathematics Achievement’. Beyond the face-to-face (traditional) teaching style, inquiry-based and peer tutoring strategies represent a comprehensive and innovative approach to teaching mathematics. It suggests that students' attitudes and academic performance in mathematics are significantly impacted by the two approaches. According to this research, peer tutoring and inquiry-based learning are viable and highly successful learning strategies. Accordingly, the study found that both teaching styles offer students a friendly learning environment, which is reflected in their mathematics achievement. It has been seen that inquiry-based and peer tutoring strategies increase students' mathematical confidence, fostering a positive mathematical mind-set that supports good academic accomplishment in the subject. It unequivocally states that the combination of peer tutoring and inquiry-based techniques is promising. Based on the findings, it is recommended that: the government and non-governmental organisations should organize workshop, seminars and lectures on appropriate use of inquiry based and peer tutoring methods.
