M.Ed. students who completed the degree via online learning top state average on principals exams
Online Master’s of Education students at Lamar University who took the state principal exam in the spring and summer of 2009 averaged 20 points higher than students statewide and also scored higher than most campus-based students who have taken the same exam. The Lamar online students averaged a score of 261, while the average score across the state is 245. A student must earn a score of at least 240 to pass the principals exam. The passing margin has increased for all Lamar students since the online Master’s of Education degree through Lamar University’s Academic Partnership with Higher Ed Holdings became an option two years ago. Ninety six percent of Lamar’s 484 online master’s degree students passed the principal exam, results that correlate well with the findings of a June 2009 U.S. Department of Education study, entitled Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning (www.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/tech/evidence-based-practices/finalreport.pdf). The study found that students who participate in part or all of their instruction online perform as well as or in some cases outperform students enrolled in the same on-campus classes.
