No strong pattern of improvement tied to attendance.
56 students took part in maths intensives
Overall
There was an improvement in grades of 17 students( 30 %) There was no change in grades of 27 students( 48 %) There was a decline in grades of 12 students( 22 %)
• Girls benefited the most from tutoring, showing significant improvement and correlation between attendance and final grades.
• Boys did not show a clear impact from tutoring, and attendance had no significant correlation with final grades.
• SHINE group showed mixed results, but there was no strong evidence that tutoring alone improved grades.
TUTORING
18 students took part There was an improvement in grades of 8 students( 45 %) There was no change in grades of 6 students( 33 %) There was a decline in grades of 4 students( 22 %)
To analyse these programmes( there were 5 different programmes running, all slightly different number of sessions), we looked at attendance across the individual programmes but then the dosage effect of the number of sessions that a young person had taken part in.
T-Test( Attended vs. Not Attended)
• T-Statistic: 1.43
• P-Value: 0.188 o
o
Interpretation: There is no statistically significant difference in final grades between students who attended sessions and those who did not( p > 0.05).
This suggests that attendance alone may not have had a strong direct impact on final grades.
Correlation Analysis
• Spearman Correlation( Sessions Attended vs. Final Grade):-0.095 o
o
Interpretation: A very weak negative correlation between the number of sessions attended and final grades.
This suggests that attending more sessions did not strongly correlate with higher final grades.
