Should we have digital tools in the class rooms? What is required for these to actually improve the teaching? And how do we investigate what really works? The researcher Carla Haelermans presents a new SNS report on the effects of new technology in education.
Digital tools are becoming increasingly common in the class rooms and the digitalisation in education is high on the political agenda.
In a new SNS-report, Carla Haelermans, Researcher at the Top Institute for Evidence Based Education Research (TIER), Maastricht University, has studied the effects of digital tools on school results in comprehensive school in the Netherlands. The report also contains concrete proposals for measures to be able to use digital tools in education in an efficient way.
Welcome to a conference on the role of digitalisation in the class room together with school researchers, teachers and representatives for the Edtech industry and the educational sector.
The conference is organised within the framework of SNS research project The Future Supply of Chains, the aim of which is to contribute research-based evidence to ensure continued competitive skills, and SNS Digitech Forum, which is funded with support from Vinnova.
