Does One-to-One Work? A Review of the Literature

Tags: 1-1, research on 2008-06-05 and saved by2 people -All Annotations (0) -About

more fromwww.techlearning.com

Garthwait and Weller (2005) studied two seventh grade science teachers implementing one-to-one computing through the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI). The 2002 MLTI placed a laptop with every seventh grade student in the state of Maine.
Both were effective in using the laptops for the entire year but actual data or acknowledgement for increased student achievement is lacking.
Owston and Wideman 2001 study is intriguing and useful.
The study found that students in the classrooms with a two-to-one student-to-computer ratio outperformed all other groups. The one-to-one and four-to-one ratio groups also improved. The control groups had the lowest scores.

- Could this be because the pairs collaborated? I'm an advocate for 1-1, but collaboration is key in any classroom.

Donovan, Hartley and Strudler took a different approach in their 2007 study.
The study ends with three interesting and informative implications. First, professional development needs to be aligned with teacher concerns. Ideally, the professional development should align with the teachers' specific stages of concern. Second, teachers need to be given a voice in innovation adoption. Most change models would agree with this implication. Finally, participants need to understand that change is a process. Especially in the earlier phase of the process, patience is a necessity.
The effectiveness of a one-to-one digital computing classroom and its ability to increase student achievement depends on many issues. First, the classroom teacher must adopt the technology for educational use. Second, that classroom teacher will need ongoing professional development for integrating the technology into the curriculum. Third, the correct equipment needs to be installed in the correct environment. Last, a system of evaluation of the one-to-one initiative needs to be established.

The report, conducted by Thomas W. Greaves of The Greaves Group and Jeanne Hayes of The Hayes Connection, isolates the most important ways in which technology is changing teaching and learning and identifies the implications of those changes for the future.
One-to-one computing programs--defined here as programs that provide full-time personal computing devices for all students in at least one whole grade level, and not simply mobile laptop carts--have improved dramatically in the last few years, the report notes. Professional development has improved, teachers are more involved, and hardware failures have been reduced.
In 2006, 30 percent of districts reported moderate to significant improvement in one-to-one computing programs. In 2007, this number climbed to 78.7 percent.
27 percent of districts reporting their involvement with one-to-one computing programs
rise is online formative assessment, with 30 percent of districts employing this strategy
interactive whiteboards (IWBs) are now viewed as "standard equipment" in schools
another key trend--the growing use of LMS software in schools--hasn't fully realized its potential

The final trend--internet bandwidth--remains in a state of crisis, according to the report.

Tablet PCs for Classroom Use

The Tablet PC is an intriguing new development in portable computing technology. This article describes the Tablet PC, gives some technical details, compares the Tablet PC to other forms of computer, provides an example of actual classroom use at the University of Illinois, and suggests further research on, and potential applications of, this technology in classroom instruction.
