This research will be conducted using many methods of qualitative and quantitative data with informal and formal testing, surveys, interviews, and observations. Qualitative and quantitative are the most appropriate combination to effectively provide information regarding student achievement and student engagement. The qualitative data will provide opportunities for students and teachers to express their opinions, while quantitative data will provide a statistical analysis using various collection methods (Mertler, 2016). The combination of using both methods may provide a better understanding of the problem, than using one method alone. The mix of these types of research will provide strength in the research and confidence of formed conclusions.

Boccella, K. (2015). In Spring City, Pa., Hybrid Learning Sends Test Scores Soaring. The Philadelphia Inquirer. Retrieved from http://www.govtech.com/education/In-Spring-City-Pa-Hybrid-Learning-Sends-Test-Scores-Soaring.html This school based in Spring City, PA, have seen positive results with a hybrid learning environment. With this style of learning, students rotate between stations, allowing teachers to work with small groups and individual students. The test scores have improved by 24 percent in math, 20 points in reading, and 27 points in science. The question that comes to mind when determining whether someone understood the concept of the video would be, “What characteristics do successful people have? & why do those skills make them successful? “These questions would force someone to really focus on what traits are needed to be successful in all avenues of life. The videos both explain how valuable and important these skills for someone to be successful in school and professional environment. As an educator, it is challenging to implement some of these important values for students to build upon. Students are so focused on grades, that they often lose the ability to recognize that there is much more to learning than memorization or test taking.
