SMT: Adaptive Learning in K-12 Math Education

• In Event: Roundtables Thur2
  In Roundtable Session: SMT - Roundtables Thur2

Short Description

Adaptive learning or personalized instruction continues to be a popular trend in educational technology. In this session we will present a review of the literature on the usage of adaptive learning systems in K-12 math education. In terms of improving math achievement, the research is mixed on the whether or not adaptive learning systems have a significant positive impact. However, I will present my findings on why the literature may not be telling the whole story.
