Resum

El document informa de les dades d'un projecte de tutoria entre iguals en línia. En el projecte, estudiants de 78 anys de 9 a 12 anys d'Escòcia i Catalunya es van tutoritzar mútuament en anglès i espanyol mitjançant un entorn gestionat en línia. Es va informar que hi havia guanys significatius en la primera llengua (alumnes catalans) i actituds cap a les llengües modernes (tant alumnes catalans com escocesos) per al grup experimental comparats amb el grup de control. Els resultats van indicar que els estudiants es tutoritzaven mútuament usant tècniques piagetianes de correcció d'errors durant el projecte. La correcció d'errors proporcionada pels tutors als tutelats es va centrar en la sintaxi morfològica, més específicament en la correcció dels verbs. El suport entre iguals proporcionat mitjançant l'entorn en línia es basava predominantment en els tutors que donaven la resposta correcta al tutoritzat. Es van observar taxes elevades d'impacte sobre els missatges corregits del tutoritzat. S'analitzen les implicacions per a una iniciativa de tutoria entre iguals que té lloc mitjançant entorns en línia. S'exploren les implicacions per a la política i la pràctica. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

abstract = "The paper reports data from an on-line peer tutoring project. In the project 78, 9-12-year-old students from Scotland and Catalonia peer tutored each other in English and Spanish via a managed on-line environment. Significant gains in first language (Catalonian pupils) modern language (Scottish pupils) and attitudes towards modern languages (both Catalonian and Scottish pupils) were reported for the experimental group as compared to the control group. Results indicated that pupils tutored each other in using Piagetian techniques of error correction during the project. Error correction provided by tutors to tutees focussed on morph syntaxys, more specifically the correction of verbs. Peer support provided via the on-line environment was predominantly based on the tutor giving the right answer to the tutee. High rates of impact on tutee corrected messages were observed. The implications for peer tutoring initiative taking place via on-line environments are discussed. Implications for policy and practice are explored. {\textcopyright} 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
