Assessment Results
Another way we look at assessment is by the Meets/Exceeds criteria. We look at what the number and percent of students that scored 60% or higher on the pre and post assessments. The results from this veiwpoint gives a much different picture of student achievement and Classroom Cubed effectiveness. Using the same Composite Solids-Volume assessment data from the 1081 students we see this picture: The pre-test shows that 244 students or 22% scored 60% or higher while 837 students or 77% scored below 60%. The post-test shows that 636 students or 59% scored 60% or higher while 445 students or 41% of the students scored below 60%.
The summary drawn from this data indicates that student knowledge moved from 22% Meets or Exceeds to 59% Meets or Exceeds. The number of students that moved into the Meets or Exceeds group nearly tripled. This has far reaching impact when it comes to State assessment such as ISAT.
Disaggregated Data
Controlled Study
In summary, the independent study done by Rock Island Schools and JTM Concepts indicated that there was significant increase in learning and retention from those classes incorporating Classroom3tm. These results encouraged JTM Concepts and Rock Island Schools to continue Stage I Research and Development. Stage I incorporated simulations that relate to high school and junior high curriculum. Stage II Research and Development is now in process. This stage involves formal data gathering of simulation use in the classroom at different grade levels throughout the District. In addition, Illinois State Standards and elementary curriculum are being incorporated into some simulations that will be used in the District to gather further data in different subject areas. An assessment and resource package is being developed to compliment the simulations being used in Stage II. In addition, a training and implementation model is being implemented to assure successful transition into the classroom.
