The Effectiveness of Khan Academy in Teaching Elementary Math
Evaluating online educational platforms requires studying the design, development, and implementation of the learning environment as well as the learning materials, learners, and learning process to facilitate improvements in teaching and skill acquisition. The accelerated growth of online educational tools has prompted a need for systematic evaluation of online educational platforms. Khan Academy has experienced immense popularity and is used by students worldwide. However, little research has been conducted on the effects of Khan Academy at the individual level. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Khan Academy in teaching elementary math to three participants using objective methods. Participants completed worksheets prior to and following Khan Academy to determine its effectiveness in teaching targeted math skills. Results indicated that Khan Academy was effective for all three participants. Thus, Khan Academy may be an effective tool for acquisition of elementary math.
期刊介绍:
Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
