Eleven project-based learning charter schools participated in this correlational study. Eight have participated for 2 years and three for 1 year. The schools are affiliated with EdVisions, a non-profit organization that helps create individualized, project-based learning schools. There were five variables in this correlational study: the hope survey, self-direction rubric, collaboration rubric, math RIT scores, and reading Rasch UnIT (RIT) scores. This study compared two variables at a time in attempts to determine relationship strengths. For example, hope and math, hope and reading, hope and self-direction, hope and collaboration, and so on. Growth occurred in all five variables over a 2-year period for eight schools, as well as a 1-year period for three schools. Although the hope and reading correlation, with an N of 340, was not significant with a correlation of .07, the researchers found that all other combinations of variables were significant with a p value < .01! It is evident that hope and life skills, such as self-direction and collaboration, positively impact academic achievement with math and reading test scores.

衡量基于项目的学习学校的生活技能、希望和学业成长

11 所基于项目的学习特许学校参与了这项相关研究。8 人参加了 2 年，3 人参加了 1 年。这些学校隶属于 EdVisions，这是一个帮助创建个性化、基于项目的学习学校的非营利组织。这项相关研究中有五个变量：希望调查、自我指导量规、协作量规、数学 RIT 分数和阅读 Rasch Unit (RIT) 分数。这项研究一次比较了两个变量，试图确定关系强度。例如，希望与数学，希望与阅读，希望与自我指导，希望与协作，等等。8 所学校的 2 年期间以及 3 所学校的 1 年期间，所有五个变量均出现增长。虽然希望和阅读相关，N 为 340，0.07 的相关性不显着，研究人员发现所有其他变量组合在 ap 值 < .01 时都是显着的！很明显，希望和生活技能，例如自我指导和协作，通过数学和阅读考试成绩对学业成绩产生积极影响。
