Abstract

This study examines the impact of an online math learning program on third through fifth grade math achievement in Louisiana. Employing Zearn Math usage metrics and administrative data from the Louisiana Department of Education, the results indicate that grade levels that programmatically used Zearn Math scored, on average, about .03 standard deviation units higher on Louisiana’s statewide math assessment. A placebo test using English-language arts scores and several robustness checks suggests that this may be an underestimate of the true effect. These findings come at a crucial time because pandemic-related school closures have led to a 20-fold increase in public school spending on Zearn-related materials between July 2019 and July 2021, and its presence continues to expand across the nation.

衡量 Zearn Math 在路易斯安那州的成效
本研究探讨了在线数学学习项目对路易斯安那州三至五年级数学成绩的影响。利用路易斯安那州教育部提供的 Zearn Math 使用指标和管理数据,研究结果表明,使用 Zearn Math 课程的年级在路易斯安那州全州数学评估中的成绩平均高出约 0.03 个标准差单位。使用英语语言艺术成绩进行的安慰剂测试和几项稳健性检验表明,这可能低估了真正的效果。这些发现出现在一个关键时刻,因为与大流行病相关的学校停课导致公立学校在 2019 年 7 月至 2021 年 7 月期间用于 Zearn 相关材料的支出增加了 20 倍,而且 Zearn 在全国范围内的影响还在继续扩大。
