KA research : CA schools (SRI) “...positive relationships were found
between Khan Academy use and
better-than-expected achievement
and non-achievement outcomes,
including level of math anxiety and
confidence in one's ability to do
math.”“85% (of teachers) reported that
the use of Khan Academy had
positively affected their students’
learning and understanding of the
material overall”

KA research : Chile schools (Intel)
..”KA as a digital learning
environment changes (how)
students engage with and are
engaged by the math content; it
also changes the way teachers
and students interact with each
other”“…Even though KA may plant the seeds of deeper
pedagogical changes such as mastery learning or
differentiated instruction, teachers did not need to change
their entire teaching model to start using it.. (Light & Pierson
2014)
