Abstract

This study examined the impact of peer tutoring as a method for mitigating bullying behaviours among kids. The investigation was driven by a specific purpose, which led to the formulation of the research question and the accompanying null hypothesis. The research design employed in this study was a non-equivalent control group, which is a type of quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted in the Wukari Local Government area of Taraba State, Nigeria. The population of the study had a total of 698 students, out of which 378 were selected as the sample for the study. The data collection tool employed was FBS, and the data was evaluated with an independent t-test. The study's primary conclusions suggest that instructors possess knowledge of peer tutoring as an effective method for mitigating anti-social behaviour in secondary school pupils. Furthermore, the study indicates that teachers have a considerable understanding of implementing these tactics inside their classrooms. According to this, it is recommended that teachers and parents should consider using peer tutoring as a technique to reduce bullying behaviour among secondary school students, as it has been found to be one of the most effective methods.
