School Vision: Stony Point High School will provide a quality education through high expectations and engaged instruction. SPHS celebrates multicultural differences and encourages involvement in our community. All members of our school community will monitor performance and results through process of reflection, inquiry and dialogue.
GOAL: To discover how the use of mathematics videos correlates to student success in completion of mathematics credits on Nova-net and Larson’s.
OUTCOMES:
1. The learner will understand the relationship between using the math videos and the amount of time to complete a math credit on Larson’s and Nova-net
2. The learner will explore the student engagement level and use or non-use of the math videos. They will also explore other options that may help students recover credits at a greater rate based on student input.
3. The learner will explore the student engagement level and use or non-use of the math videos. They will also explore other options that may help students recover credits at a greater rate based on student input.
ACTIVITIES:
1. Observe which students are using the math videos and which are not. Collect data on the amount of time that it takes each student to complete a credit.
2. Gather and compare data to explore the relationship of this outcome.
3. Survey students to gather data on their opinions of the math videos and what they think will help them regain credits at a greater rate.
RESOURCES AND RESEARCH TOOLS:
1. Time, observation of student activity
2. Student achievement data, Graduation data, completion rate of credits
3. Survey-monkey of Google Docs
TIMELINE:
1. 2010-2011 school year
2. Summer 2011
3. 2010-2011 School year
PERSONS RESPONSIBLE:
1. Credit Recovery Department
2. SELF
3. Credit Recovery Department
PROCESS FOR MONITORING:
1. The department will meet to assess the data that we have gathered and compile it to view the outcomes of the data. The assessment tool that we will use will be the reporting options from Nova-net and Larson in coordination with student interviews and personal observation.
2. I will assess the data that we have gathered and compile it to view the outcomes of the data. The assessment tool that we will use will be the reporting options from Nova-net and Larson in coordination with student interviews and personal observation. I will also use information gathered from our registrar or from Minnie.

Heath, how will you go about collecting the data on how long the students will take to complete a credit? Will you have them create a personal portfolio and keep tabs of the time they'd spent looking at the videos and make note of when they complete a credit? It might be a motivating tool for the students to see how long or short it will take them to regain their credit(s).
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the use of survey generating the student opinions on how the math videos help them. This process at least gives them a sense of ownership rather have been told what to do.
This is a good action research project. I am a math teacher and I am very interested in finding a program that help students caught up on gaps that they have in math. This will increase student performance and help teachers fill in the gaps.
