Scientifically Based Research
This scientifically based research report, prepared
by Educational Support Systems, outlines the research basis for
the product design, content and instructional utilization for
the netTrekker classic product. The netTrekker classic product
and its database of over 180,000 educator-selected online resources
align with each state's academic standards.
Educators will be able to use this report as a research reference
when preparing No Child Left Behind (NCLB) proposals and plans
that incorporate the use of netTrekker classic as an instructional
and learning resource.
The No Child Left Behind Act mandates that all electronic learning resources
(ELRs) purchased by school districts be designed with a scientific
research basis. The rationale is that NCLB assumes that research-based
and -evaluated programs will have a higher probability of increasing
student academic achievement. This means that educators must
have access to research-based ELRs in order to justify the use
of NCLB funding for their purchase.
Purpose of Report
-
Provides the research basis for netTrekker classic's user interface
and selection of the content.
-
Suggests research-based strategies for using netTrekker classic in
schools in ways that will maximize the probability of producing measurable
improvement in student learning.
