Battlefields

PE5 · October · 3 days · Age 14–15 · 54 students travelling
A sample on invented data. Riverside High School, its tour operators and its students are fictional.

What changed on this trip?

Across 41 students who answered both before and after, reported outcomes improved from before to immediately after the Battlefields trip by +0.19 points on the four-point scale. The largest improvement was in learning and educational value, though not clearly separated from perspective and accomplishment. Most of the immediate change was still there 4 weeks after: +0.14 points among the 38 students who answered before and at follow-up, against +0.19 just after. Results varied between students. Change over time can have causes other than the trip.

Largest gain
Learning and educational value
+0.30 points across 41 students. Not clearly separated from perspective and accomplishment.
Most sustained gain

How many students improved, and who did not?

Most students scored higher: of 41 students who answered both waves, 71% scored higher after the trip, 15% the same and 15% lower. Counting only movement larger than measurement error, 29% improved and none declined.

Share of matched students who scored higher, the same or lower after the trip, per domain: Learning and educational value 73 per cent higher, 10 the same, 17 lower; Agency and self-management 49 per cent higher, 20 the same, 32 lower; Social connection and belonging 56 per cent higher, 20 the same, 24 lower; Perspective and accomplishment 66 per cent higher, 17 the same, 17 lower; Overall 71 per cent higher, 15 the same, 15 lower.Scored lowerScored higherLearning and educational value17%73%10% the sameAgency and self-management32%49%20% the sameSocial connection and belonging24%56%20% the samePerspective and accomplishment17%66%17% the sameOverall15%71%15% the same

Priorities for the next curriculum-linked trip

  1. 1
    Design small-group tasks where everyone has a part.
    Group was relatively weak, at 2.9 across 46 students against a platform median of 3.4.
  2. 2
    Increase meaningful student choice.
    Autonomy was the lowest-rated dimension, at 2.4 across 46 students against a platform median of 2.7.
  3. 3
    Pitch activities so they stretch students without overwhelming them.
    Challenge was relatively weak, at 3.0 across 46 students against a platform median of 3.2.

Keep what is working: transitions, preparation, reflection, novelty. Transitions 3.5 against a platform median of 3.3, Preparation 3.4 against a platform median of 3.1, Reflection 3.2 against a platform median of 2.4, Novelty 3.1 against a platform median of 2.9.

The statistics

Change over time

Battlefields students' scores rose on two of the four outcome domains between the two waves.

On the two remaining domains there was no clear change. With 38 students matched across both waves, this trip can pick up small differences: a real change smaller than g = 0.20 would probably not show here.

  • Learning and educational value. Moved up between the two waves. Clear enough to report.
  • Agency and self-management. Points up, but this group is too small to tell it apart from normal variation.
  • Social connection and belonging. Points up, but this group is too small to tell it apart from normal variation.
  • Perspective and accomplishment. Moved up between the two waves. Clear enough to report.

Where an interval excludes zero, the change is larger than this group's normal variation. Where it includes zero, the change is unresolved. An interval lying wholly within ±0.10 is read as no change worth reporting, or, where it also excludes zero, as a change too small to matter. Up minus down is the share of students whose score rose less the share whose score fell; it has no size words. An estimate can clear zero and still sit inside the shaded band; treat that size as an upper bound.
