According to a new
paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, providing K-12
students with technology has little impact on their learning outcomes; however,
it was found that students did improve their computer proficiency because of
the devices. Researchers said that computer-assisted learning and behavioral
interventions showed some promise for increasing academic achievement.
Implications of this study may
advance the knowledge base of how technology can be used to support education,
outline key areas for new experimental research, and help drive improvements to
the policies, programs, and structures that contribute to successful teaching
and learning.
