Learning in One-to-One Laptop Environments: A Meta-Analysis and Research Synthesis
Zheng, Binbin; Warschauer, Mark; Lin, Chin-Hsi; Chang, Chi
Review of Educational Research, v86 n4 p1052-1084 Dec 2016
Over the past decade, the number of one-to-one laptop programs in schools has steadily increased. Despite the growth of such programs, there is little consensus about whether they contribute to improved educational outcomes. This article reviews 65 journal articles and 31 doctoral dissertations published from January 2001 to May 2015 to examine the effect of one-to-one laptop programs on teaching and learning in K-12 schools. A meta-analysis of 10 studies examines the impact of laptop programs on students' academic achievement, finding significantly positive average effect sizes in English, writing, mathematics, and science. In addition, the article summarizes the impact of laptop programs on more general teaching and learning processes and perceptions as reported in these studies, again noting generally positive findings.
