Computer Access and Student Achievement in the Early School Years.

Owston, Ronald D.; Wideman, H. H.

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, v17 n4 p433-44 Dec 2001

This study examined the assumption that optimal learning occurs in classrooms in grades one through four where every child has access to their own computers. Results of a multiple analysis of covariance showed that student writing samples showed the most improvement with a student-to-computer ratio of 2:1. (Author/LRW)
