Online Fidelity in Mathematics
Martin Kollman
Online Fidelity in K-6



Online material and assessment programs provide
successful fidelity for teachers and elementary
students in mathematics.
Online programs offer a profound understanding of
fundamental mathematics that incorporate both
expertise in mathematics and an understanding of
how to communicate with students.
Online programs assist in achieving higher levels of
retention in mathematics, based on Kansas
standards, than traditional classroom pedagogy and
assessment.
Online Learning Mathematics



Students who used computer-based
instruction scored at the 64th percentile
compared to students in the control
conditions without computers who scored at
the 50th percentile.
Students on average learn 5% - 12% more
in less time.
Students generally develop positive
attitudes towards learning with computerbased instruction than without.


Only 11% of KS students perform below at 4th
grade vs. 18% national
Students report 18% less anxiety in
computer-base instruction.
3rd & 4th grade student have an overall 3.9
rating out of 5 being most positive with
online BAIP tutorials.

Next Steps




Continue to confer with eDL staff on
existing data collected through system
access.
Review previous teacher attitudinal
survey
Review previous student tutorial
attitudinal surveys
Develop teacher new attitudinal survey
for sample schools.
