Computers 'do not improve' pupil results, says OECD
Investing heavily in school computers and classroom technology does not improve pupils' performance, says a global study from the OECD.
The think tank says frequent use of computers in schools is more likely to be associated with lower results.
The OECD's education director Andreas Schleicher says school technology had raised "too many false hopes".
Tom Bennett, the government's expert on pupil behaviour, said teachers had been "dazzled" by school computers.
The report from the OECD examines the impact of school technology on international test results, such as the Pisa tests, which are taken in more than 70 countries and measure digital skills.
It says education systems which have invested heavily in information and communications technology have seen "no noticeable improvement" in Pisa test results for reading, mathematics or science.
Unplugged
"If you look at the best-performing education systems, such as those in East Asia, they've been very cautious about using technology in their classrooms," said Mr Schleicher.
"Those students who use tablets and computers very often tend to do worse than those who use them moderately."

i think the main benefit of learning a computer is being able to participate in the modern world, its not going to help any other discipline, the people that claim it will have watched too many apple ads.

That's like saying that the main thing I learned in school was to sit at a desk for hours, doing things I wasn't particularly interested in.noddy wrote:with the amount of jobs now that are either directly 'computer' (programming, administration, repair) or just require proficiency in operating one, im wondering if this study is beating up a strawman.

Like most intellectuals, Freud wasn't very well rounded. Hence his obsession with tittays.noddy wrote:i seem to remember freud putting too much importance on the tittays and not enough on the beer.Simple Minded wrote:Weird how even computers (both machines and people) always lead ya back to Freud, innit?
