To begin the study, I used students
State Test scores from 4th grade as
well as their lexile levels to determine
if they were performing below grade
level. I then group students randomly
into two groups, one control group and
one treatment group. I also gave
students a benchmark assessment
provided by the district to use as my
pre-test data. The treatment group
participated in the supplemental
online lessons on Schoology while the
control group did not. The final
benchmark test given by the district
served as my post-test. The results of
the action research showed that
students that received the
supplemental instruction had
significantly higher benchmark scores
at the end of the year. The implications
of this action research are that the
supplement instruction was a huge
factor in increasing student
achievement for students that are
performing below grade level.
This is a great resource for
students that need that additional
practice and are entering their
current grade performing or
reading below grade level. Overall
the action study enlightened me
on may aspects of student
achievement and allowed me to
really see how blended online
learning could really benefit
students in many different ways.
