Flexi Test Prep Efficacy
Overview
- Four classes (76 students from 7th and 8th grade) used Flexi to prepare for their final.
- The students took a pre-test and a post-test, five days apart while using Flexi to study.
- Qualitative data was also collected on attitudes toward Flexi
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to obtain quantitative metrics reflecting Flexi’s efficacy as a study tool. We want to perform an analysis of this data to look for specific connections between Flexi usage and performance.
Methodology
Students took the grade 7 pre-test and grade 8 pre-test, in the form of CK-12 quizzes, on Tuesday, May 28. The tests were designed to reflect the actual final and were based on the curriculum resources. The grade 7 Flexi tutorial and grade 8 Flexi tutorial were delivered on Wednesday, May 29. Students studied with Flexi as homework. Students took the grade 7 post-test and grade 8 post-test, on Monday, June 3th.
Key Takeaways
- Students improved by a full letter grade (8.5 points) from the pre-test to the post-test.
- Students who asked 5 or more questions were over twice as likely to improve.
