PROJECT CHILD® AND NON-PROJECT CHILD® SCHOOL PERFORMANCE ON FCAT® READING, MATHEMATICS AND WRITING
- Date Issued:
- 2010
- Abstract/Description:
- Project CHILDî (Changing How Instruction for Learning is Delivered) provides an avenue for educational change using a triangulated approach. Using data from the Florida Department of Education, this research studies the Project CHILDî learning approach on preparing students for success on portions of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCATî) using results from fifteen charter schools in the state of Florida, seven participating in Project CHILDî and eight non-participating charter schools for the 2008-2009 school-year. Dispersion statistics such as range and standard deviation as well as independent t tests are computed to compare the percentage of students in grades three to five scoring levels 3 and higher on the reading and mathematics portions, and fourth grade students scoring a 3.5 or higher on the writing assessment of the FCATî. Project CHILDî schools had smaller ranges and standard deviations in the majority of the comparisons. Descriptively, this suggests that students in the Project CHILDî schools are performing closer to the school average. There were no statistically significance differences between the Project CHILDî schools and non-Project CHILDî schools for grade level comparisons, nor on any grade level aggregate outcomes (i.e., grades 3-5 school FCATî reading, mathematics, or writing mean). However moderate effect sizes were seen for reading in grade four and writing assessments in grade four. The non-statistically significant findings were likely due to low power, and the moderate effect sizes suggest evidence of practical significance.
