The Effects of Computer Use on Children's Learning: Limitations of Past Research and a Working Model for New Research.

Becker, Henry Jay

Peabody Journal of Education, v64 n1 p81-110 Fall 1986

This review, which examines three sources of evidence about the effects of computer-assisted instruction on student achievement (national surveys, research reviews, and recent experimental studies), concludes that existing evidence of computer effectiveness is scanty. A new research initiative is described which combines the benefits of survey and field experimental research. (IAH)
