By SCOTT R. ROEHL In partial fulfillment of the expectations and academic requirements of the degree of Masters in Education, Carroll University. Triangulation of Data Abstract Past Research Findings The purpose of this action research was to determine whether students’ mastery of 21st Century Skills would improve through cross-curricular, project-based learning. The results were compared to a control group in a traditional middle school. At the beginning of the action research, the students in both the experimental group and the control group participated in pre-assessments and initial surveys. At the completion of the action research, and after adhering to all the components of Academy 21 (the experimental group), the experimenter compiled all of his anecdotal observations, and the students were given their post-assessment and ending surveys. At the conclusion of the action research, the experimenter analyzed the Rising Stars assessment results, the self-reflections and self-rankings of Pewaukee’s Core Competencies, and the anecdotal observations from an Academy 21 advisor. Furthermore, the experimenter compared the student MAP and EXPLORE – standardized assessments of all students – scores to determine whether an academic difference existed. The results of the collected pieces of data give compelling and, in some cases, statistically significant evidence to the increased acquisition of students’ mastery of 21st Century Skills. ,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/posterpresentation-110426201542-phpapp02/85/Poster-Presentation-1-320.jpg)
