Overview
- Sixteen students (8 math and 8 science) were chosen to participate in a live tutoring study.
- Students took a pre-assessment, mid-assessment, and post-assessment.
- Tutors used Flexi as a resource to tutor the students with as little human intervention as possible.
- 7 members of the content team participated in the tutoring, using Flexi with students and discussing their attitudes and behaviors.
Purpose
This study aims to work directly with students to study their attitudes and behaviors while using Flexi. The performance of the student will be considered and the reasons for their progress or lack of progress will be analyzed.
Methodology
Sixteen students (8 math and 8 science) were chosen to participate in a live tutoring study. Students took a pre-assessment, mid-assessment, and post-assessment. Tutors used Flexi as a resource to tutor the students with as little human intervention as possible. Seven members of the content team participated in the tutoring, using Flexi with students and discussing their attitudes and behaviors.
Key Takeaways
- Students felt that the personalized AI tutor and human interactive support were the most beneficial modalities (Also considered Flexbook, My Lessons learn flow, Adaptive Practice) with the stand-alone chat and follow-up questions identified as the most helpful resources.
- 100% of students showed improvement when using Flexi as a supplemental tool during tutoring.
- Potential improvements identified by the students were more support for students with lower reading levels, the ability to ask more than 3 follow-up questions, and improved ability to find lessons and lesson resources.
