The Impact of Education Technology on Student Achievement: What the Most Current Research Has to Say
by John Schacter, Ph.D
2/1/99 |
Each year, legislators, governors, and other policymakers make difficult choices among attractive educational improvement options. Whether to invest in class-size reduction, teacher training, early childhood education, textbooks, or tests depends on their estimates of the effectiveness of these approaches.
This briefing outlines what current research has discovered regarding the impact of educational technology on learning, and identifies resources for further study. While most of this research is in its infancy, we are beginning to see solid work emerge. This 11-page document released in June of 1999 looks at some of the large-scale state and national studies, as well as some innovative smaller studies that provide visions for new and effective uses of technology in learning and instruction.
