Report on the Effectiveness of Technology in Schools,
95–96: Executive Summary
This report, commissioned by the Software Publishers Association
and conducted by an independent educational technology-consulting firm,
Interactive Educational Systems Design, Inc., summarizes educational technology
research conducted from 1990 through 1995. This report is based on 176
research reviews and reports on original research projects, from both
published and unpublished sources. Of these 176 studies, 70 were published
in professional journals and 33 were doctoral dissertations.
These studies concluded that technology is making a significant
positive impact in education. Important findings in these studies include:
- Educational technology has demonstrated a significant
positive effect on achievement. Positive effects have been found for
all major subject areas, in preschool through higher education, and
for both regular education and special-needs students.
- Educational technology has been found to have positive
effects on student attitudes toward learning and on student self-concept.
Students felt more successful in school, were more motivated to learn,
and had increased self-confidence and self-esteem when using computer-based
instruction.
