LIST of MY AR CONCLUSIONS


AR Conclusions:

1. Collecting data is certainly worth it, but it can yield far different results then one originally intended. 
2. Low-achieving students will  not retake tests but they might fix answers for points back.  
3. I need to consider a re-testing policy for my classroom. 
4. Students can easily score themselves on level on engagment during a small amount of class time.             5. Students they are very aware of the academic choices they are making on a daily basis. They choose.
6. Level of engagement may be indicative of their grade. This is intriguing to me.  
7. 45% of my students do not study outside of class time but 90% work hard during class time.
8. Students worked in groups 70% of the time during my 5 weeks of data collection.

From here, I am interested in figuring out which style of teaching gets my students the highest levels of active engagement. Are groups a factor?  And would a high level of student engagement then correlate strongly with higher grades and academic success? If I can get my students more engaged then could I raise their grades?
