Arkansas TAPP Overview
This is an overview of Arkansas’s evaluation of the The Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) Initiative from 2006. EAST is a performance-based learning environment utilizing community service, project-based, service learning, integrated with advanced technological applications in an interdisciplinary environment. Among the 16 student outcomes that were studied, analyses indicated that participation in the EAST program appears to have a positive, statistically reliable impact on students in five major domains, including students’ problem-solving, motivation and self-directed learning.
