What Does the Research Say?: Volume 1 Does Technology Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning?

By Glenn M. Kleiman

This research brief, the first in a planned series, focuses on research into the effectiveness of the Enhancing Missouri’s Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies (eMINTS) program. This brief summarizes the research results on four key questions: 1) Does the eMINTS program increase student learning? 2) Does the impact of the eMINTS program on student learning differ for different groups of students? 3) Are the increases in student learning in the eMINTS program tied to specific changes in classroom practices? 4) Does the approach of the school principal influence the impact of the eMINTS program? It also considers the debate about what research methods can provide valid data for drawing conclusions about these questions.
