The Impact of Technology on Instruction in the Content Areas: Review of Research

چکیده
The literature devoted to education has included a variety of claims about the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to teaching and learning in elementary and secondary schools. Despite the expenditure of significant resources on ICTs, very little is known about their effectiveness and efficacy. This Notebook is the first of two that have been adapted from a full literature review commissioned by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) in 2001. This edition reviews the research literature on ICTs on instruction in particular K – 12 content areas. The second paper focuses on their relation to attitudes, achievement, motivation, learning strategies, and problem solving. The full review can be found at www.cmec.ca/stats/publications.en.stm.
