Efficacy of ASSISTments Online Homework Support for Middle School Mathematics Learning: A Replication Study
The purpose of the project was to conduct a replication study of the impact of a fully developed, widely adopted intervention called ASSISTments on student mathematics outcomes. Findings from a previous IES-funded efficacy study, conducted in Maine, indicated this intervention led to beneficial impacts on student-learning outcomes. The current study examined the impacts of this intervention with a more diverse sample and relied on mathematics coaches (instead of the intervention developers) ...

Talking Math: Improving Math Performance and Engagement Through AI-Enabled Conversational Tutoring
The purpose of this project is to develop a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) tutor (CAIT- pronounced as "Kate") to support independent math practice for middle school students who struggle with math and, otherwise, may not have access to after-school tutoring. CAIT will be integrated into ASSISTments, an existing, freely available, and evidence-based online math platform with widely used homework assignments from open education resources (OER). Through this work, the project team ...

Improving Children's Math Skills through a Personalized Early Learning Technology Solution: An Efficacy Study
Mathematics education, especially at early grade levels, continues to be an important focus for national education improvement efforts, and more districts are introducing technology as part of their solution. The researchers will conduct an initial study to generate evidence of the efficacy of My Math Academy, a widely used, game-based, supplemental online curriculum that enables personalized learning through embedded assessments, adaptive learning trajectories, and a performance dashboard t...

Improving Conceptual Knowledge in Upper Elementary Science with Scaffolded Sketch-Based Modeling
This project will focus on the development and pilot testing of Science Sketch, a sketch-based science learning environment to support upper elementary students' conceptual understanding of science with an emphasis on modeling. To develop an understanding of core ideas in science, students must develop models to explain their observations, share models within their classroom community, test their models in investigations, and revise their models based on evidence. Drawing is a promising appr...

An Efficacy Study of the MathSpring Personalized Learning System That Responds to Student Affect
This purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of MathSpring, an online intervention that provides individualized affective and strategic support to students as they solve math problems. The need to improve students' mathematics achievement is well recognized. According to the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 34% of American public-school grade 8 students score at or above proficient in mathematics.
