K-12 - Quantitative Research; Andrew A. Zucker, Robert Tinker, Carolyn Staudt, Amie Mansfield and Shari Metcalf
Technology Enhanced Elementary and Middle School Science (TEEMSS) is a physical science curriculum for grades 3-8 that utilizes computers, sensors, and interactive models to support investigations of real-world phenomena. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of TEEMSS on 181 students in grades 3-8 attending elementary and middles schools in three states. Of the 15-unit TEEMSS curriculum, the study examined eight science units and the results showed significant learning gains for all eight.
