Teaching with Technology 2



In 1994, James Kulik used a research technique called meta-analysis to aggregate the findings from more than 500 individual research studies of computer-based instruction. He had more positive conclusions than negative from his work. For instance, students learn more in less time when they received computer-based instructions. Also students like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes when their classes include computer-based instruction. I found this to be true with several of my special needs students. This approach has reduce inappropriate behaviors and increased motivation. It has also improved self-esteem.
