Outcome Studies of Education
Facts
Since 1978, assaults on teachers have risen 700%
Only 37% of youth report feeling a sense of personal power, and half feel that their life has a purpose
The more teenagers feel loved by their parents and comfortable in their schools, the less likely they are to have sex, smoke, abuse alcohol or drugs or commit violence or suicide
Self-Regulation and Reduced Test Anxiety and Increased Test Scores
Primary Study
Focused on the entire 10th-grade population at two large California High schools
980 students, 636 (53% male, 47% female) were in the experimental group and 344 (40% male,60% female) were in the control group
In the program, students learned and practiced specific emotion-management techniques to aid them in more effectively handling stress and challenges, both at school and in their personal lives.
61% of students reported being affected by test anxiety, 26% experiencing high levels of test anxiety often or most of the time
Twice as many females as males experienced high levels of test anxiety
Secondary Study
Most teachers reported that the program provided substantial benefits in their personal and professional lives.
In general, the program's implementation was more successful when there were several teachers at the same grade level teaching it and when teachers were able to internalize the use of the tools in their own lives
Major challenges to successful program implementation included inadequate class time; logistical problems encountered with school administration; and securing the support of the principal and other school administrators to foster teacher commitment
Student participants describe how they apply HearthMath skills in various areas of their lives
"I use HearthMath every day before math class. This helps me understand the concepts and grasp them more easily."
"HearthMath has obviously helped in my algebra 2 class. On the last test, using HearthMath, I scored a 97%. It really calmed me down and opened my mind to clearer thinking."
"I have used HearthMath during band. I hate the feeling of having to play a hard part in front of the whole band by myself. I get so nervous sometimes that my hands shake and my mind goes blank... Using HearthMath, I have seen a significant improvement in my playing alone in front of people."
