Declining usage of undergraduate physics tutoring

POSTER

Abstract

Undergraduate tutoring centers are a common feature of collegiate institutions. It provides opportunities for peer-teaching and peer-learning, which has been found to be a very effective way of enhancing learning in and out of the physics classroom. However, overall usage of these services seem to be declining across the United States. Data from a private, aeronautical-focused institution explores this phenomenon and its impact on student perceptions and learning.
