The Effect of Time To Know Environment on Math and English Language Arts Learning Achievements: Initial Findings from USA* Yigal Rosen, Ph.D. Time To Know and University of Haifa yigal.rosen@timetoknow.com Chais Conference on Instructional Technologies Research The Open University, Israel February 2011 * Based on data from Rockman et al evaluation study
1:1 Laptop Teaching and Learning Environment (Bebell, 2007; Lei & Zhao, 2008; O'Dwyer et al., 2008; Weston & Bain, 2010; Zucker & Light, 2009)
Time To Know Digital Teaching Platform (Walters, Dede & Richard, 2009; Weiss & Bordelon, 2010)
Creative Animations for Each Lesson You see, its so easy to multiply (Rosen, 2009)
Research Questions • What is the impact of Time To Know environment on reading, writing and mathematics academic achievements, as measured by Texas Assessment of Knowledge Skills (TAKS) tests, compared to the traditional settings? • Do Time To Know students demonstrate greater mathematics reasoning skills than control students? Participants 127 4th grade students from four elementary schools from the Dallas-area district (59 experimental and 68 control students).
Impact on Reading Knowledge and Skills “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Comparison by Average Scores Reading Scores **p<.01 “Time To Know” students far out-performed the control students in reading.
Impact on Writing Knowledge and Skills “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Comparison by Average Scores Writing Scores **p<.01 “Time To Know” students out-performed the control students in writing.
Impact on Math Knowledge and Skills “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Comparison by Average Scores Mathematics Scores *p<.05 “Time To Know” students out-performed the control students in mathematics.
Percentage of Students in Each TAKS Category: Reading “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Distribution by Standard Levels Below Met Commended Below Met Commended 90% of the students on met standard or commended performance.
Percentage of Students in Each TAKS Category: Writing “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Distribution by Standard Levels Below Met Commended Below Met Commended 98% of the students on met standard or commended performance
Percentage of Students in Each TAKS Category: Math “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Distribution by Standard Levels Below Met Commended Below Met Commended 93% of the students on met standard or commended performance.
Impact on Math Reasoning “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Comparison by Average Scores Advantage of 40% in math reasoning skills among “Time To Know” students.
Implementation of Differentiated Learning “Time To Know” vs. Control Students’ Distribution by Standard Levels Below Standard Met Standard Commended Performance Teaching and learning in Time To Know environment is closing the gap between students.
