| Read this report | Coming Into Being: A New Capacity for Learning This white paper by national thought-leader Bruce Connolly describes JASON as a "premier model" of personalized, next-generation learning for 21st-century skills. JASON, Connolly explains, has "brought into being a model that will help improve the life options for all of our learners." | Read this report | West Virginia Summary Report - Making a Difference in Science Education This report describes a promising partnership between Glenville State College, a consortium of West Virginia school districts, and the JASON Project for the purpose of promoting greater interest and higher achievement in science among upper elementary and middle school students in one of the country's highest-need regions. | Read this report | JASON Summary Evaluation - EDC's Center for Children and Technology This Executive Summary draws from years of scientific research on The JASON Project (1990-2011) and Immersion Learning (2003-2011). Both programs chart a new vision for 21st-century education, with a theory of teaching and learning that is aligned with major 21st-century science education and evaluation frameworks. Highlights of the findings from multi-year implementation practices and evaluation studies of The JASON Project and Immersion Learning are presented below. | Read this report | WIDA Prime Correlation The WIDA PRIME correlation was used to analyze The JASON Curriculum: Monster Storms, Resilient Planet, Infinite Potential and Tectonic Fury using the WIDA English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards, PreK-Grade 12 instructional materials for English Language Learners. | Read this report | CCT Multiyear independent evaluations by the Center for Children and Technology indicate the JASON curriculum has: - had a positive impact on students' science learning,
- positively influenced their perceptions of scientists and of becoming scientists, and
- helped diverse students grasp a deeper understanding of complex scientific content, concepts, and technologies.
| Read this report | SRI Independent researchers at SRI International also found that teachers who completed JASON's online graduate courses made statistically significant gains in content knowledge compared with a control group. | The George Washington University Researchers from The George Washington University, whose Ashburn, VA, campus houses JASON headquarters, now are preparing to conduct independent, evidence-based research into the effectiveness of Operation: Monster Storms. Their research will be designed in the university's Graduate School of Education and Human Development. |
