Research Summary
A literature review revealed a pilot study conducted in Idaho published by Khan Academy and the FSG Consulting firm that found positive correlations between usage of the Khan Academy program (predecessor to MAP Accelerator by Khan Academy) and academic progress. Specifically, there was a positive correlation between student's usage of the program and their MAP scores. Another study conducted by Khan Academy found that Students who used the platform as recommended (30+ min/wk) during the 2020-2021 school year had math growth scores 0.26 standard deviations higher on average than similar students who used the platform for <15 min/week. No peer-reviewed research or other evidence provided by the program publisher was found. Consequently, there is insufficient evidence to to support the efficacy of this program at this time.
