Abstract | Connections Academy is a full-time, tuition-free, virtual public school program that served more than 70,000 K-12 students in 27 states in the 2017-2018 school year. Pearson sought to explore how Connections Academy schools perform compared to the alternatives. This Research Report presents findings from two research studies: one quasi-experimental study with Connections Academy students enrolled in GradPoint credit recovery courses during 2015-2016; and one quasi-experimental matched comparison study with students enrolled in a representative sample of Connections Academy schools during the 2013-2014 to 2015-2016 academic years. Our aim in using correlational and comparative study designs was to seek out possible relationships between the use of Connections Academy and students' performance to identify areas of focus for potential future research using more rigorous causal study designs. The report also summarizes the context surrounding the findings, including the research that informed the design and development of the product, the history of the product in the market, how educators use the product, and its intended outcomes. The findings are inseparable from their surrounding context and the design of the studies that produced them. To learn more about these elements, follow the links to our Technical Reports in the Research studies section. (ERIC). |
