Using Learning Environment Attributes To Evaluate The Impact Of Ict On Learning In Schools, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson
Using Learning Environment Attributes To Evaluate The Impact Of Ict On Learning In Schools, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson
Barnard Clarkson
Research on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) use in schools is increasingly finding that the impact on learning outcomes is not directly causal but depends on how the technologies are used within learning environments. This paper presents one key dimension, the ‘Learning Environment Attributes’ dimension, of a complete literature-based framework — the ‘New ICT Supporting Schooling’ (NISS) framework — designed to provide systematic rich guidance for teachers and school leaders in deciding how to facilitate ICT use. A substantial trial showed that this theory-building stage has produced an effective rubric-based tool to facilitate the measurement of this dimension. Indications are …

Examining Response To A One-To-One Computer Initiative: Student And Teacher Voices, Mark Storz, Amy Hoffman
Mark G. Storz
The impact of a one-to-one computing initiative at a Midwestern urban middle school was examined through phenomenological research techniques focusing on the voices of eighth grade students and their teachers. Analysis of transcripts from pre- and post-implementation interviews of 47 students and eight teachers yielded patterns of responses to illuminate how one-to-one computing changed students’ learning experiences and teachers’ instructional practices. Key themes that emerged were changes in teacher pedagogy, effect on student learning experiences, impact on classroom behavior and management, potential for improved communications, and suggestions to address professional development needs. The students demonstrated their learning in varied and …
