Overview
Geneva Christian College first partnered with Maths Pathway in 2017 to provide learning tailored to each student’s needs. Since this collaboration, teachers have reported enhanced student engagement and problem-solving skills, alongside improvements in NAPLAN Numeracy and PAT-M scores. Building upon the research of Steinbergs & Smith (2024), which identified positive correlations between Maths Pathway usage and PAT-M performance in a Victorian school, this analysis examines whether similar patterns are evident at Geneva Christian College.
Key findings
After the in-depth investigation into the effect of Maths Pathway on student progress and analysis of key data points, researchers found:
-
Students achieved an average growth of approximately 1.51 years per year in PAT-M assessments.
-
Students completing at least 52 Maths Pathway modules annually outperformed their peers in PAT-M scores.
-
The study corroborates earlier research indicating a positive correlation between Maths Pathway usage and improved PAT-M outcomes.
-
These findings suggest that implementing a clear, data-backed module completion target can be instrumental for schools aiming to enhance mathematics outcomes.
