Cignition Group Tutoring: Impacts on Students' Math Knowledge and Perceptions. Middle Years Math Grantee Report Series
Pratt, Catherine; Chojnacki, Greg; Conroy, Kara
Mathematica
Cignition delivers virtual tutoring in math and ELA, led by experienced educators. Their approach focuses on data-informed instruction and collaborative learning that encourages student-to-student interaction to build students' conceptual understanding. After a 2020 efficacy study of its 1:1 math tutoring offering, Cignition developed a group tutoring offering to reduce the per-student cost of tutoring while maintaining the quality of learning. In this setting, students are encouraged to collaborate with each other while working together on open-ended tasks as the tutor facilitates the session using video conferencing tools and interactive whiteboards. This study aims to provide evidence on the impact of remote, virtual tutoring on student fractions knowledge and perceptions of math using a randomized controlled trial design. Specifically, it examines math achievement, confidence, and enjoyment. This report is one in a series of six reports on math tutoring programs. The goal of this report series is to inform the tutoring field more broadly and support the provision of high-quality tutoring to as many students in the priority communities as possible.
