The adoption of one-to-one device programs in early childhood classrooms is a relatively new phenomenon that is quickly becoming widespread. While these devices carry potential as educational learning tools, there is still much to learn about how to successfully integrate them into classrooms and into children's lives. One important area to…

Technology can be a powerful tool to help transform learning. It has the potential to empower students to expand their learning beyond the confines of the traditional classroom, support self-directed learning, help educators tailor learning experiences to individual student needs, and support students with disabilities. Technology also has the…

Hardware requirements are a barrier to widespread adoption of digital learning software among low-income populations. We investigate the demand among smallholder-farming households for a simple, adaptive math learning tool that can be accessed by widely available "brick" phones, and its effect on educational outcomes. Over a quarter of…

Information Communication Technology (ICT) enhances accessibility, efficiency, and quality of education. This study aimed to examine the status of ICT resources in teaching and learning in public primary special schools in Nairobi County, Kenya. Questionnaires, interviews, observation schedules, and manuals for document analysis were used to…

Effective policy development will be critical to address educational challenges within the Global South. To accelerate economic, political, and social goals, the Global South is under increasing pressure to mimic policy development from other countries. In 2016, the Liberian Ministry of Education leveraged policy transfer to address systemic…

Schools are among the most important educational organisations where education and training activities are carried out. Along with the impossibility of the continuation of face-to-face education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the distance education process has affected schools' abilities to continue educational activities. School administrators,…

Social inequality (also in terms of network access and device availability) was expected due to, that differences will only…

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…

The present study aims at probing the views of primary school educators on the use of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Greece. The survey registers the problems encountered by the educators due to their insufficient training in online teaching, the lack of equipment that they and their pupils faced, and technical problems…

We report on a randomized controlled trial of an intervention that leverages the availability of laptops for all public-school students in the state of Maine. The intervention, called "ASSISTments," provides feedback to students as they solve mathematics homework problems and automatically prepares reports for teachers about student…

Many of today's students are lacking fundamental skills of literacy and writing that are needed to successfully meet academic requirements in order to graduate, leaving students inadequately prepared for the technological demands of the modern workforce, which relies on the frequent utilization of various forms of cloud-based productivity tools to…

In this paper We present a pilot study providing ICT resources at some Italian junior high schools. In 2009, 156 classes at 6th grade were endowed with additional resources earmarked for purchasing ICT equipment. By selecting an equivalent number of classes in the same schools, we are able to conduct an evaluation of the causal effect of ICT on…

Many developing countries are investing in large-scale initiatives to deploy information and communications technology in schools. However, merely equipping schools with hardware and software does not guarantee that the technology is used effectively to improve learning outcomes. This study aims to identify factors that influence the use of…
