Abstract
This report examines the effects of a digital learning platform and individual students' self-reported motivations on math performance, namely 9-week grades and annual state assessments, among 5th through 8th graders in a large school system in the Louisiana. The findings are based on data collected as part of a research-practitioner partnership funded by the Gates Foundation. The report shows how key motivational factors (e.g., confidence, anxiety), digital learning use, and student characteristics were related to math performance. These results help identify possible avenues for targeted interventions to improve confidence and reduce fears, for example, to help students in their math learning.
