ABSTRACT

Interest in providing one-to-one technology to students is increasing, particularly in low-income schools. This study examined the impact of one such approach on kindergartners’ math and literacy development during an academic year in a small urban public school district. A district-wide outreach program provided tablets to every kindergarten student in the district. Classrooms were randomly assigned within schools to receive either: (1) just the tablets or (2) tablets loaded with digital resources supporting foundational math skills. Qualitative data indicated that teachers appreciated having the tablets and believed that the resources improved instruction. Unexpectedly, findings indicated that while children’s literacy skills may have benefited from access to the digital math resources, their math skills did not. Overall use of the digital math resources was low in treatment classrooms. Digital resources show some promise in impacting some children’s foundational skills, but access to resources alone was not enough to improve targeted skills.

全区一对一技术计划对幼儿园儿童参与和学习成果的影响

摘要

向学生提供一对一技术的兴趣正在增加,尤其是在低收入学校。本研究调查了这样一种方法对一个小型城市公立学区学年幼儿园儿童数学和识字发展的影响。一个地区范围的外展计划为该地区的每个幼儿园学生提供平板电脑。在学校内随机分配教室接受:(1)仅平板电脑或(2)装有支持基础数学技能的数字资源的平板电脑。定性数据表明教师喜欢使用平板电脑,并相信这些资源可以改善教学。出乎意料的是,调查结果表明,虽然儿童的识字技能可能从访问数字数学资源中受益,但他们的数学技能却没有。在治疗教室中,数字数学资源的总体使用率很低。数字资源在影响一些儿童的基础技能方面显示出一定的前景,但仅靠获取资源并不足以提高目标技能。
