This helps teachers, parents, and students understand that classroom strategies can be modified. The research presented, however, does not provide a definitive answer. Lack of this answer is due in part to the difficulty of investigating ecological models. There are so many factors that interact to create a student's learning experience. In the ecological model it is difficult to know which factor is the most relevant to improvement.
Ecologies are an important area of study.
Unfortunately, research that shows success in one ecology may not be able to pinpoint the precise cause of improvement. There are many interacting variables. Know that change is possible. Active learning strategies work in the classroom. Be aware that the research data is not definitive.
