Ω

This report describes the findings for the evaluation study of the effects of Promethean ActivClassroom on student achievement conducted by Marzano Research Laboratory (MRL). During the 2008-2009 school year, 79 teachers from 50 schools throughout the country participated in independent studies regarding the effect of Promethean ActivClassroom on student achievement. The study was conducted in two phases. Phase I involved an analysis of student learning with and without Promethean ActivClassroom as it relates to demographic information and teacher self-reported experience with the technology. Phase II involved an analysis of student learning with and without Promethean ActivClassroom as it relates to teacher behaviors as evidenced in videotapes of teachers using the technology in their classrooms.

The evaluation study involved 1,716 students in the treatment group and 1,622 students in the control group. In the treatment group, teachers used Promethean ActivClassroom to augment their instructional practices. In the control group, teachers used strategies and materials to facilitate instruction without the use of Promethean ActivClassroom. The specifics of Promethean ActivClassroom can be found at Promethean’s website
