TeacherEase
 

Study Data

 

Here is more detailed data on the May 2003 study.

Question #1: Do students whose parent(s) access TeacherEase perform better?
  Without Parent Access With Parent Access Change
Grade 79.6% 87.7% +8.1%
Missed Work 9.3% 5.3% -43.0%
Result: Yes, students score 8% higher and miss 43% less work when their parents access TeacherEase.

Question #2: Do students who access TeacherEase perform better than those who don't?
  Without Access With Access Change
Grade 82.4% 85.4% +3.0%
Missed Work 8.0% 5.9% -26.3%
Result: Yes, students who access TeacherEase score 3% higher and miss 26% less work.

Assertion: Couldn't these improvements be due to the fact that only the "top" students (or their parents)
access TeacherEase and the lower-performaing ones don't? As such, we could be seeing a bias instead
of a performance increase due to TeacherEase. To filter out this bias, we re-ran the study by looking at only
students who eventually access TeacherEase.

Question #3: For students whose parents access TeacherEase, do they perform better
after the first parent login?
  Before Parent Login After Parent Login Change
Grade 80.6% 88.8% +8.2%
Missed Work 8.5% 5.0% -41.2%
Result: Yes, after parents login the first time, students score 8% higher and miss 41% less work.

Question #4: For students who eventually access TeacherEase, do they perform better
after they login for the first time?
  Before Login After Login Change
Grade 81.5% 86.5% +5.0%
Missed Work 8.8% 5.3% -39.8%
Result: Yes, after logging in the first time, students score 5% higher and miss 40% less work.
