Texas: STAAR Testing Gain Correlation
BACKGROUND
Legends of Learning was launched out of a research study that showed students playing a variety of standards-aligned educational games achieved large and statistically significant increases in test scores. This study was conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education and Human Development and published in The Journal of Learning Sciences. To build on the prior study, a new study was conducted to evaluate the effect Legends of Learning games have on standardized assessments in science in Texas.
