Online Fidelity in Mathematics Martin Kollman
Online Fidelity in K-6 • Online material and assessment programs provide successful fidelity for teachers and elementary students in mathematics. • Online programs offer a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics that incorporate both expertise in mathematics and an understanding of how to communicate with students. • Online programs assist in achieving higher levels of retention in mathematics, based on Kansas standards, than traditional classroom pedagogy and assessment.
Online Learning Mathematics • Students who used computer-based instruction scored at the 64th percentile compared to students in the control conditions without computers who scored at the 50th percentile. • Students on average learn 5% - 12% more in less time. • Students generally develop positive attitudes towards learning with computer-based instruction than without. James Kulik (1994)
BAIP – Math (K-12) • Affects grades 3 – 10 • 187 school districts • 3,777 students with IEPs (K-12 enrollment — 452,908 in 2008) • 276 research-based lessons • 417 online student tutorials • Currently only State of Kansas
Sample Two Kansas Schools • 3 yr participants: Mulvane and Olathe • Rural (5,500) vs. Suburban (92,962) • Representative Student Body • Gender • Race • SES • Achievement
Fidelity - Teachers • Transference from BAIP to Teacher • Access – System, lessons, tutorials • Patterns in usage • Retest tutorials • Survey and interview teachers who accessed lessons and used tutorials • Popular items • Uses in classroom • Observed effect on teaching strategy • Observed effect on student learning • Enrichment/Special Needs
Fidelity - Student • Outcome • Scores on KS standardized tests • Scores on tutorials • Access to BAIP System • Attitudinal Survey • Tutorial • Test & Retest
Student Demographics • Gender • Race • SES • Time enrolled at school • Students with disabilities • Students with enrichment
Kansas Elementary Students • Look at both students below and above basic Math • Only 11% of KS students perform below at 4th grade vs. 18% national • Students report 18% less anxiety in computer-base instruction. • 3rd & 4th grade student have an overall 3.9 rating out of 5 being most positive with online BAIP tutorials.

Next Steps • Continue to confer with eDL staff on existing data collected through system access. • Review previous teacher attitudinal survey • Review previous student tutorial attitudinal surveys • Develop teacher new attitudinal survey for sample schools.
