Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), University of Findlay, Education.
Online education has grown tremendously in the past decade, though there has been little research completed on its efficacy at the elementary level. The educational focus of the primary level student is to learn how to read fluently, which requires a systematic phonics approach whether the student is in a traditional or online environment. This research paper will focus on the growth of online education at the primary level, the necessary reading interventions for reading fluency growth and the keys for a successful learning environment. In the online educational model, the engagement level of the parent, guardian, or adult significantly impacts the academic success of the primary age student, especially in the area of learning how to read on grade level. Keys to parent engagement include communication with the licensed classroom teacher, student participation in live online classroom experiences, and daily completion of curriculum and school attendance. All of these require the parent, adult, or guardian to be engaged in the online program along with the primary age student. Additionally, the research addresses whether a student who enrolls in an online school midyear typically scores below their online peers and continues to score below their online peers even after subsequent years enrolled in the online school.
