Child-directed tablet-based learning: Toolkits for project design, preparation, and implementation

As COVID-19 has disrupted education worldwide, more organizations and governments are thinking about using tablet-based learning to provide access to education. Tablet-based learning empowers learners to build skills and knowledge through the use of technology. Children direct their own learning, using high-quality, research-based software curriculum on a tablet. We recognize that designing and implementing tablet-based … Continue reading

Raising Early Achievement in Math with Interactive Apps: A Randomized Control Trial

Authors: Outhwaite, L. A., Faulder, M., Gulliford, A., & Pitchford, N. J. In a pupil-level randomized control trial we evaluated the effectiveness of a new math app intervention to support young children’s early math development. The results showed children using the math apps either as a supplementary intervention or instead of a small group teacher-led … Continue reading Raising Early Achievement in Math with Interactive Apps: A Randomized Control Trial

Development of early mathematical skills with a tablet intervention: a randomized control trial in Malawi

Author: Pitchford, N.J. Evaluation of educational interventions is necessary prior to wide-scale rollout. Yet very few rigorous studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of tablet-based interventions, especially in the early years and in developing countries. This study reports a randomized control trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a tablet intervention for supporting the development … Continue reading Development of early mathematical skills with a tablet intervention: a randomized control trial in Malawi

Closing the gap: Efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children

Authors: Laura A. Outhwaite, Anthea Gulliford, Nicola J. Pitchford The efficacy of a hand-held tablet technology intervention with learner-centred interactive software aimed at supporting the development of early maths skills was evaluated in four studies conducted in three UK primary schools. Immediate and sustained gains in mathematics were determined by comparing maths performance before, immediately … Continue reading Closing the gap: Efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children
