To familiarize students with the use of technology (ICT) and to bridge the digital divide, schools can better read the level of comprehension and numeracy boost than investing in computers and Internet connections.
That’s the surprising conclusion of a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) conducted in 31 countries.
If every student reached a basic level in reading comprehension and mathematics, it will ‘in our digital world more conducive to equality than simply increasing access to high-tech devices and services or to subsidize, “the study said. In 2012, 96 percent of the 15-year-old students from the 34 countries studied a computer. Only 72 percent reported that they used a computer at school.
No noticeable improvement
According to the study, pupils with moderate use of computers at school slightly better results than pupils who only rarely at school working with the computer. But those students who use computers at school very often get much lower results, even taking into account their socio-demographic background.
The report, entitled “Students, Computers and Learning: Making The Connection ‘shows that countries that significantly invested in ICT in Education’ no notable improvement ‘showed in the results that they booked for reading comprehension, mathematics and science.
