This Pearson
survey examines:
-
Current usage, ownership and
purchase intent of mobile devices by elementary, middle, and high school
students.
-
How elementary, middle, and high
school students currently use mobile devices for school work, and how they
expect to use them for school work in the future.
-
Students’ attitudes towards tablets
for learning.
Findings show that:
-
Elementary and secondary students
are highly receptive towards tablets, and believe strongly that these devices
can improve their education. Nine in ten agree that tablets will change the way
students learn in the future, and that they make learning more fun.
-
A substantial portion of students
currently use and own tablets. Four in ten students own a smartphone. Older
students are more likely than younger students to own a smartphone.
-
Students across elementary, middle,
and high school regularly use mobile devices for school work. One-third of
students say they have used a tablet for school work in the 2012-2013 school
year, and over four in ten have used a smartphone for school work.
-
Among those who use tablets for
school work, the majority own the tablet themselves, or share them with their
family. Only one in six say that their school provides the tablets.
-
Students use tablets for a variety
of school-related activities. The most popular are researching and doing
homework, followed by checking assignments.
