Comprehensive and Empirical Research on Effects of ICT use in the Classroom for Academic Abilities of Students

本研究旨在全面而实际地研究信息技术在课堂上的使用对学生学习成绩的影响。17名研究人员分成小组，每个小组对相同的兴趣进行调查。许多学校的老师也与我们合作进行这项研究。本研究的主要成果如下：1.我们对学生的学习成绩和教师的教学策略的关系进行了大规模的调查，并从不同的角度报道了学生的实践能力和教师使用ICT的关系.通过向没有在课堂上使用过信息技术的教师提供一些信息技术工具，分析了教师如何改变他们使用信息技术的方式和教学风格，以及信息技术如何影响学生的活动和学习。本研究尝试采用质性研究的方法，访谈教师，分析学生档案.我们研究了教师如何接近ICT使用的第一步，并发现他们在课堂上使用ICT非常简单：他们使用摄像机和投影仪将教科书投影到屏幕上。我们还发现，在课堂上使用信息和通信技术的学生提高了他们的知识和理解考试成绩。在评价学生的焦油利用能力和信息素养方面，我们开发了多种测试项目和新型的计算机测试系统。我们尝试在一些小学和初中进行。5.在教师培训方面，我们开发了许多工作坊培训课程，让教师能够实际学习如何在课堂上使用ICT。这些研究结果已在2008年3月发表的研究报告中报告，并在2008年6月的JSETs研讨会上发表和讨论。

This study aimed to research comprehensively and practically how the use of ICT in a classroom make an impact on learning achievement of students. 17 research members broke up into small groups and each group carried out investigations into the same interest. Many school teachers also cooperated with us on this study. The results of this two years' research are following :1. We performed a large survey on the relation of students' achievement of learning and teachers' teaching strategy, and reported the relation between students' practical abilities and teachers' ICT use in various points of view.2. By providing some ICT tools to teachers who hadn't used it in their classroom, we analyzed how teachers changed their way of using ICT and teaching style, and how ICT affected on students' activities and their learning. In this case, we tried to research by qualitative study method , interviewing teachers and analyzing students' portfolio.3. We researched how teachers approach to the first step of ICT use and figured out they use ICT in classroom very simply : an they project textbooks to the screen using video camera and projector. We also found that students who were taught by using ICT in the classroom improved their test score on knowledge and comprehension.4. As for the evaluation of students' ability of Tar use and information literacy, we developed various of test items and new types of computer based testing system. And we tried to perform them in some elementary and junior high schools.5. For training for teachers, we developed a lot of workshop training courses in which teachers are able to learn practically how to use ICT in classroom.These results of the study were reported in our research report issued in March 2008 and presented and discussed in JSETs Symposium in Jun, 2008.
