Student Growth through Design-Centered Learning: Report from the Learning Studios Pilot. Executive Summary
Digital Promise Global
Digital Promise Global commissioned research in order to learn more about how students and teachers made use of the technology, document areas of growth experienced by the participants, and understand the effects of implementation context on technology use and learning. The study also sought insights related to challenges and best practices that could inform the broader field. The study was conducted during the initial pilot year of the program between May 2016 and May 2017. Teachers were asked to complete a series of four surveys: baseline, mid-course, post, and follow-up. Teachers were also invited to a brief phone interview at the start of the program to ask about their implementation plans and progress to date. Students were asked to complete three surveys: baseline, post, and follow-up. Additional teacher interview and student focus groups were conducted to collect qualitative information about changes in engagement, agency, empathy and design thinking in students. This report presents a summary of key findings from the exploratory research. The first sections focus on context of implementation, including students' and teachers' familiarity with the technology and confidence as makers and designers. The subsequent sections highlight results related to the focal outcome areas of engagement, agency, collaboration, and design thinking. [For the full report, see ED611799.]
