Conclusion Research Project: Impact on Literacy
Tests revealed:
* Overall, literacy levels increased dramatically even though per phase TTRS was in progress for 1 term only(12 hours=4/25 levels average). * For sustainability in literacy impact longer TTRS intervention is needed.* Reading improved most, followed by Spelling and Comprehension.
ResTTRS E.May-BrennekerBDA308
Teachers unanimous in noticeable improvements in all areas.Parents: 82.5 % noticeable improvementsPupils: 75% noticeable improvementsMost Parents and Pupils said YES to partaking in future TTRS projects.
Conclusion Research Project: Impact on Literacy and Attitude
Surveys revealed:
ResTTRS E.May-BrennekerBDA308ResTTRS E.May-BrennekerBDA308 40
Conclusion Research Project Impact on Typing Skills
* Pupils became familiar with keyboard, 10-finger- typing, using capitals and punctuation, focus on screen instead of keyboard and multi-tasking.
* In max. 30 mins. they managed ca. 4-5 modules. * In 12 hrs. they reached ca. level 4 (out of 25). * WPM speed and accuracy increased steadily. * ICT awareness, confidence and skills improved. * Motivation to practise keyboard skills rose. * Bonus:They enjoyed improving their high scores,
monitoring their successes on progress cards and receiving a regular print-out of their achievements. This boosted their FGF, Feel Good Factor.
ResTTRS E.May-BrennekerBDA308
Recommendation for TTRS Intervention to create and sustain impact on Literacy,
Attitude, Typing Skills
• Program to run for 3 terms rather than 1.• The non-competitive approach needs to be
maintained, each works at his/her own pace.• Avoid running TTRS in lunch breaks.• Monitoring multisensory aspects: see-hear-say-do, is essential.• Consistent high quality delivery is needed, including: Praise, Praise, Praise…..
• Success breeds success!
