ICT and Learning styles


Classroom materials
Introduction
A recent independent research report (ImpaCT2) showed that ICT can help raise standards. It looked at the relationship between pupils use of ICT and their performance in exams. High ICT users performed better than low ICT users at key stages 2 and 3. The difference in performance was the equivalent of a whole term or a grade at GCSE. Researchers also noted than high ICT use leads to a change in learners learning style. They were able to study better by themselves and were more independent, not so reliant on a teacher to give them all the answers.
