Researchers at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation conducted an intrinsic, longitudinal multiple-case study of 7th-grade mathematics teachers’ implementation of ASSISTments and its impact on their instruction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study examined teachers’ use of ASSISTments in three instructional contexts: in- person only, remote only, and both in-person and remote. Our findings indicate that teachers in all contexts changed their instructional practices for homework review and for determining whether their students had understood lessons. Teachers used the ASSISTments auto-generated reports to focus their homework reviews, based on their students’ performance, and to provide instructional interventions and/or re-teaching. They also used the instructional suggestions provided by the ASSISTments platform to plan lessons to re-teach concepts or to review prior instruction with their students.}, booktitle={Artificial Intelligence in Education.

Researchers found mixed results, with approximately half of these 13 states increasing achievement post-policy, and the other approximately half not, evidencing that states’ adoptions of similar A-F policies may not realize increased student achievement as intended and, rather, yield more-or-less random results. Policy implications are discussed, also given seven of these 13 states are Republican/Republican-leaning and one is Democratic/Democratic-leaning, which also has implications for others looking to potentially adopt such relatively conservative, educational policy approaches towards reform.}, number={1}, journal={Cogent Education}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Amrein-Beardsley, Audrey and Geiger, Tray and Winn, Kevin}, editor={Sammy, King Fai HUIEditor}, year={2022}, month={Dec} }
