Students could choose from the following answers:Almost every day, A few times each week, Between once a week and once a month, Less than once a month, Never

What do we know?What do we need to know?How to proceed?
181818 What do we need to know?Much work has been done on the statistics of access and use of ICTs in schools, sometimes with an impressive array of details Most of these attempts have emphasised aspects such as quality of access, teacher preparation and time of actual use. Only a few, such as PISA (2005) have tried to connect these parameters with the desired effects on improving the quality of teaching and learning and educational performance.We therefore need to improve the available information in four specific areas
191919 What do we need to know?
1. The ICT environmentThe environment can be defined as the technical conditions that enable the development and use of ICT. Some of the most relevant might be:
access: how easy is it to get access to ICT both in schools and at home. ICT availability: how much ICT is available to users
2. The ICT user readiness This is the propensity of users to produce/use ICT . This propensity is linked to the level or ICT-related skills competence showed by teachers and pupils.
202020 What do we need to know?
3. The use of ICTThis refers to the actual use of ICT in teaching and learning activities, both by teachers and pupils, as well as the types of ICT used and for what purposes.
4. The effects of the use of ICTAny kind of measurable effect of the use of ICT either in the quality or in the output of the teaching and learning processes could be said to be the impact of using ICT. In addition, it could be reasonable to expect that an intensive use of ICT at large can result also in the learning of competences and skills not accounted for in traditional educational settings.
212121Outline
What do we know?What do we need to know?How to proceed?
222222How to proceed?
The ongoing OECD/CERI project on Digital Learning Resources *(DLR) includes among its final outputs the delivery of a proposal for a system of indicators that will benchmark the development of DLR. This proposal will come as a result of a standing working group in this area.
_________________________________________* DLR are defined in the context of this project as “any
digital resource that is actually used by teachers and learners for the purpose of teaching and learning”.
232323 What do we need to know?Indicators would need to be developed in the four identified areas:
The ICT environmentThe ICT User readinessThe ICT useThe effects of ICE use
242424 How to proceed?
1. The ICT environment access: An indicator merging data such as ratios of pupils per computer connected to the Internet, percentage of networked homes and the like can provide a useful quick look but more detailed indicators can also be considered, such as for example separating the values for teachers, pupils and families;DLR availability: This could be restricted to DLR in the national language (most appropriate for early school years), but even so could only be measured nationally on the basis of proxies such as, for example, the number of DLR available in the top three devoted national websites or the total number of national websites devoted to DLR.
252525 How to proceed?
2. The ICT user readiness Measuring readiness is a difficult task since no available data on this propensity exist (such as the precise answer to the question how ready teachers/pupils are to use/produce DLR). However, to start with it could be somewhat linked to the training or level or competence showed by different groups of users on the basis of already existing data, such as:
– teachers: training hours on ICT related competences by teacher or surveys of ICT-related skills and attitudes;
– pupils: surveys of ICT-related skills and attitudes (such as PISA data);
– families: general population surveys of ICT-related skills and attitudes.
262626 How to proceed?
3 & 4. ICT Use and effectsThere are no proxies available for the actual level of use of DLR at a national level, nor for assessing the effects. Therefore, a methodology has to be designed – to deal with the indicators in this area, – including, for example, different groups of users
(teachers, pupils, parents) and places of use (school, home).
272727 How to get there: two possible strategies
Strategy 1: Questionnaires to a sample of main stakeholders, like government representatives, teacher associations, parent organisations, webmasters and the like.Strategy 2: Questionnaires to a sample of school teachers, pupils and, eventually, to parents.
