Examining the Impact of Move to Learn among Third Grade Students in Mississippi Public Schools:

“Studies conducted by the University of Southern Mississippi examined the impact of Move to Learn among third grade students in Mississippi public schools. An initial evaluation of MTL explored the relationship between MTL and the duration of Time-on-Task (TOT) and the frequency of Time-on-Task Transitions (TOTT) among students. Changes in the design and procedures in a follow up study afforded greater opportunity to examine the direct impact of Move to Learn on both TOT and TOTT.” (PDF)
