Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

The process evaluation also described many positive aspects to the intervention. Schools were largely positive about the online tuition, and confident that it was beneficial for their pupils in terms of improved comprehension, verbal fluency and confidence in maths. Pupils were also generally positive about the impact of the intervention on their own maths capabilities. Teachers commended the programme for its clarity and simplicity, good content and objectives linked to the curriculum.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
This trial was a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial. A pragmatic design was chosen to reflect as closely as possible the implementation of the programme in ‘real life’. Consequently, teachers were given significant freedom in choosing eligible pupils for the study as they would do in ‘normal’ teaching practice. This enables the results to be generalisable to similar pupils and schools outside the trial. A total of 64 schools were randomly allocated to be offered the intervention for their Year 6 pupils either in 2014/2015 (intervention group) or in 2015/2016 (acting as the waitlist control group during 2014/2015). Teachers at all participating primary schools were asked to identify eight Year 5 pupils, plus three reserve pupils towards the end of the academic year who they believed would benefit from online maths tutoring in their final year of primary school (Year 6); randomisation was carried out after teachers had identified potential pupils.
