Student Supports - Beta

What is the Student Supports Feature in ASSISTments?

Background
‍

From a study run in ASSISTments, we found that students who received supports were more likely to answer their next problems correctly without requesting additional supports (such as hints, explanations, or show answers), without impacting their likelihood to give up or wheel spin, compared to the students who did not receive student supports.

For more information on the study and to view  a video of March Thanaporn Matikorn (Researcher) and Dr. Neil Heffernan (Founder of ASSISTments) discussing the “Effectiveness Of Crowd-Sourcing On-Demand Assistance From Teachers in On-Line Learning Platforms,” please click here.

For the Student Supports Beta, ASSISTments is  encouraging middle school teachers to use and report out on Student Supports. Students whose teachers enable  the Student Supports Beta,  will gain access to thousands of hints and explanations embedded in the Utah Math, Illustrative Math, OpenUp, Eureka Math/Engage NY curricula for 6th, 7th and 8th grade.
