New Evidence on the Effect of Computerized Individualized Practice and Instruction on Language Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ghysels, J.; Haelermans, C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
This paper provides new evidence on the effect of computerized individualized practice and instruction on language skills, more specifically on spelling. An individually randomized experiment among 7th grade students in the Netherlands is developed to study the effect of an adaptive digital homework tool on spelling performance. Using an…
