Abstract

Many children lack the resources and opportunities to improve their studying skills. Specific skills include improving their peer mentoring abilities, ranging from learning to listen, guide, or collaborate. By giving students the knowledge on studying and being in charge of their work with their peers, they become more engaged with the content and develop a sense of competency. Interactions will also help students improve their prosocial behavior. To test out my theory, I worked with seven students involved with the First Tee of Monterey County. They varied in ages but learned what studying is and what it entails. They then had an activity where they practiced improving their skills. By the end of the project, the students reflected on what they learned and how they put it into practice. The students left the project with a better understanding of managing their time studying and why it is beneficial to their learning.
