Can Computer Use Hurt Science Achievement? The USA Results from PISA.

Papanastasiou, Elena C.; Zembylas, Michalinos; Vrasidas, Charalambos

Journal of Science Education and Technology, v12 n3 p325-32 Sep 2003

Examines the relationship between computer use and students' science achievement based on the data from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). Results show that it is not computer use itself that has a positive or negative effect on the science achievement of students, but the way in which computers are used. (Author/SOE)
