Can computer applications help improve student performance? For what skills, grade levels, content areas, and type of students are computer applications most effective? Can computer applications improve student attitude toward school and decrease drop-out rates? Discover what the research reveals--in this provocative new book--about these and other crucial questions concerning the impact of computer-based instruction. Assessing the Impact of Computer-Based Instruction provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date summary available on the effects of computer applications on both student achievement and attitudes. Within its pages are also the most extensive bibliography ever prepared on past reviews of research, current reports and articles, and dissertations in the area of computer uses in education. This groundbreaking new book provides educational decisionmakers with the facts they need in order to justify the expense and effort of maintaining and expanding the instructional role of computers in schools. It is also useful as a resource text in the pre-service training of computer educators and for graduate students doing research in instructional computing.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether computer-based instruction impacted student academic achievement and attitudes towards using technology in the classroom. This action research study used a quantitative research methods approach by analyzing pre- and post-tests and student surveys. Twenty-eight third grade students participated in the study by completing a pre- and post-test, an Attitude Survey, and lessons on fractions over a three-week period. The participants were randomly grouped into two instructional groups of fourteen; computer-based and teacher led. The researcher analyzed both pre- and post-tests to determine how much growth students made after receiving instruction in their group. The researcher also analyzed surveys taken from the computer-based instruction group at the start and conclusion of the study to determine changes in attitudes for students learning through computer-based instruction. Findings from the study indicate that the use of computer-based instruction positively impacts student academic achievement. The results also found that the extended use of computer-based learning in the classroom improves student attitudes towards learning and technology. However, data also showed computer-based instruction is not as effective on academic achievement as teacher-led instruction. Recommendations from the study include increasing the access and opportunities to use computer-based learning in the classroom. Additionally, using computer-based instruction as a supplementary form to teacher-led instruction can potentially provide students will a stronger understanding of any topic.

Students today are growing up in a digital world. These "digital natives" learn in new and different ways, so educators need new approaches to make learning both real and relevant for today's students. Marc Prensky, who first coined the terms "digital natives" and "digital immigrants," presents an intuitive yet highly innovative and field-tested partnership model that promotes 21st-century student learning through technology. Partnership pedagogy is a framework in which: - Digitally literate students specialize in content finding, analysis, and presentation via multiple media - Teachers specialize in guiding student learning, providing questions and context, designing instruction, and assessing quality - Administrators support, organize, and facilitate the process schoolwide - Technology becomes a tool that students use for learning essential skills and "getting things done" With numerous strategies, how-to's, partnering tips, and examples, Teaching Digital Natives is a visionary yet practical book for preparing students to live and work in today's globalized and digitalized world.

How do you analyze pretest-posttest data? Difference scores? Percent change scores? ANOVA? In medical, psychological, sociological, and educational studies, researchers often design experiments in which they collect baseline (pretest) data prior to randomization. However, they often find it difficult to decide which method of statistical analysis i

The requirement to accurately measure the impact of educational technology has become more critical then ever before as a result of the economic commitment to educational technology, the pressure for greater accountability as well as the rapid rate of technological change. This study investigated the STAR-W program, which facilitated computer assisted instruction, to determine the grant's impact on the Language Arts Literacy portion of statewide assessment. Prior to this investigation, the usefulness of the STAR-W grant, in terms of achievement test scores, was essentially unknown. There was a need to examine the connections between educational technology and student academic achievement to maximize the STAR-W resources. The findings generated from this study have broadened the understanding of those connections as well as contributed to the ever-growing body of knowledge concerning the integration of computer-assisted instruction into 21st Century educational curriculums, classrooms, and schools.

The scope of contemporary higher education is wide, and concerns about the performance of higher education systems are widespread. The number of young people with a higher education qualification is expected to surpass 300 million in OECD and G20 countries by 2030. Higher education systems are faced with challenges that include expanding access, containing costs, and ensuring the quality and relevance of provision. The project on benchmarking higher education system performance provides a comprehensive and empirically rich review of the higher education landscape across OECD countries, taking stock of how well they are performing in meeting their education, research and engagement responsibilities.

The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is a critical activity that is governed by many, often conflicting factors. Incorporating materials expert systems into CAD/CAM operations could assist designers by suggesting potential manufacturing processes for particular products to facilitate concurrent engineering, recommending various materials for a specific part based on a given set of characteristics, or proposing possible modifications of a design if suitable materials for a particular part do not exist. This book reviews the structural design process, determines the elements, and capabilities required for a materials selection expert system to assist design engineers, and recommends the areas of expert system and materials modeling research and development required to devise a materials-specific design system.

The purpose of this experimental study was to examine the impact of home computers with computer based instruction and parental/guardian monitoring on the academic performance of underserved African American elementary school children in the Birmingham, Alabama public schools. the study participants were 28 fourth grade students who were randomly selected from one elementary school. the study utilized three groups. Two groups were subjected to experimental treatment conditions of (1) provision of computer-based instruction and a computer in the home but without parental/guardian monitoring and (2) provision of computer-based instruction and a computer in the home with parental/guardian monitoring of the usage of the computers, respectively. the third group received only computer-based instruction but was not provided with a computer until the completion of the study. the results of the study indicated that there was no significant difference between the three groups of fourth graders in terms of their academic achievement in language arts, mathematics and reading after the experimental treatment. However, when the data were analyzed by gender, some differences were found between girls and boys. Boys with home computers but without parental monitoring showed regression in language arts, but they performed significantly better when they had both computers and parental/guardian monitoring. Girls performed best when they had just the computers without parental monitoring, but showed relatively less improvement when parents were involved. It is recommended to conduct similar studies with larger samples drawn from different schools, to clarify these findings.
