Bayside Christian College: Analysis with PAT-M Data

An investigation into how students achieve an average of 1.4 years of learning every 12 months, according to PAT-M results.

Overview

Bayside Christian College conducted research into the effectiveness of Maths Pathway through the analysis of PAT-M results. They scrutinised that data to identify the rate of growth in maths attainment from year to year and whether that growth is more rapid than the stated norms. Moreover, they compared this against Maths Pathway dosage data to probe whether any positive results are associated with the usage of the program.

Key findings

After the in-depth investigation into the effect of Maths Pathway on student progress and analysis of key data points, researchers found:

Growth in the capacity of students to take on higher maths subjects, such as Mathematical Methods and Specialist Math in the VCE.
Strong development in Mathematical understanding for students from Years 7-9 based on NAPLAN results.
Approximately 1.4 years of growth in maths learning per school year as measured by PAT-M with clear positive associations with Maths Pathway dosage.

“We find very strong performance overall, with approximately 1.4 years’ growth per year as measured by PAT-M; and we find clear positive associations with Maths Pathway dosage.” – Toni, Deputy Principal
