The purpose of this study was to implement peer tutoring strategies to teach student s with reading comprehension learning disabilities (RCLD) who ex perience learning and emotional problems due to their learning disabilit ies . T his study examined the effects of the peer tutoring strategies on reading comprehension and self - concept of tutees andtutors , and analyzed and compared differences in the four peer tutoring strategies.

By comparing and analyzing the effects in implementing the peertutoring strategies, this study at tempted to examine the effective st rategies that cont ributed to improving tutee's reading comprehension and self - concept . This study also examined the effects on the reading comprehension and self-concept for those student s with RCLD who participated as tutors .
The subject s of the study were recruited from ten elementary schools in the Pusan metropolitan city in Korea. The tutees were 40 students with RCLD recruited from the fourth grade, and the tutors were 10 fouth graders from regular classes, 10 fouth graders with RCLD, 10 six th graders from regular classes , and 10 sixth graders with RCLD.
After having five pre- training sessions run by special education teachers (special education teachers whose students participated in the study ), the tutorsran their peer tutoringsessions with the tutees .

The cross - age peer tutoring was more effective than the same- age peer tutoring in reading comprehension. Also the regular peer tutoring howed more improvement in reading comprehension than the peer tutoring by the students with RCLD. Therefore it is desirable to place academically advanced and older students for peer tutoring to promote cognitive improvement of tut ees .
Secondly , there were no differences among the peer tutoring strategies in terms of improvement of self- concept of the tutees . This suggests that ability and age of tutors may not be that important in tutee ' definitional improvement .

본 연구의 목적은 학습장애로 인하여 학습과 정서상의 문제를 겪고 있는 독해학습장애아에게 또래지도(peer tutoring )전략을 적용했을 때 또래학습자(tutee)와 또래지도자(tutor)의 독해력 및 자아개념에 미치는 효과를 밝히고, 4 가지 또래지도 전략간 효과의 차이를 비교 분석하기 위한 것이다. 연구의 대상으로 또래학습자는 4학년에서 독해학습장애아 40명을 선발하였고, 또래지도자는 4학년 일반아 10명, 4학년 독해학습장애아 10명, 6학년 일반아 10명, 6학년 독해학습장애아 10명 등 총 40명을 선발하였다. 연구 결과를 종합해보면 독해학습장애아에 대한 또래지도는 또래학습자와 또래지도자 모두에게 인지 및 정서적 향상에 효과적인 전략이며, 특히또래학습자의 인지적 향상을 위한 또래지도는 또래지도자의 능력과 나이를 고려해서 적용해야 한다는 결론을 내릴 수 있다.
