Peer Teaching Strategy
Noe B. Magayam
Teaching ALS learners is not easy as teaching school age
learners, it might be because of the span of years, and they stopped in a
formal school in which learners are hardly difficult to recall what they have
learned. Another is, learners, however, can’t focus on the topics due to
work/activities at home, because most of the learners are married and they have
their responsibilities in their own family.
Peer
Teaching is one effective way of teaching adults and out –of-school youth in an
informal setting or classroom setting, it boasted the confidence of the
learners because the one who teaches is not his/her teacher rather his/her
classmates or another teacher who has an expertise in that particular topic or
lesson.
The Peer Teaching
strategy was applied sometimes in the year 2014 and has continued until today.
There are significant implications for this strategy because when this strategy
is not being practiced, the results of the Accreditation and Equivalency Test
(A&E) are low. However, for the seven consecutive years, the performance of
Schools Division of Abra in terms of Presentation Portfolio Assessment (PPA)
and Accreditation and Equivalency Test (A&E) passers has been increased.
In order
to sustain this best practice, there is continuous monitoring and evaluation by
the SBM School Heads, Public Schools District Supervisors and Education Program
Supervisors.
