Cognitive Tutor® Students Make Noted Gains

December 14, 2004

Results released from an independent study conducted during the 2002-03 school year showed that math students who used Carnegie Learning's software and text-based Cognitive Tutor® Algebra curricula in the Kent School District, made significantly higher knowledge gains than their peers who used the traditional text only curriculum. The study, led by researcher Dr. Gary Plano of Seton Hall University, involved 779 ninth grade students in seven junior high schools and one k-12 school in Kent, Washington. The results indicate that the Cognitive Tutor program produces knowledge gains for all students, most especially for students who struggle to learn English.
