Private tutoring and traditional classes: A comparison of students’ learning achievements in chemistry
Year: 2022
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Private tutoring has been popular among Cambodian students, specifically in urban areas. It is not a compulsory requirement by the government, schools, or teachers. However, it is more generally motivated by several reasons. This study aims to compare the achievements of high school students who attended private tutoring in a chemistry subject and those who did not. To collect the data, the first author divided Grade 11 students into two groups. A total of 30 students from each group were randomly selected for the study. The results of the study revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. However, the students who attended private tutoring received somewhat higher mean scores than those who did not. This study recommends that future studies should include a larger sample size with the same or with other subjects at other educational institutions. Studies using a qualitative or mixed-methods design are also recommended.
