John Schacter wrote an article called, The Impact of Education Technology on Student Achievement. He used seven different examples of technology and education intermixing and shared the positive and negative aspects of it. Five of the seven are large scale studies.
The first study is the Kulik's Meta-Analysis Study. "The research technique called meta-analysis to aggregate the finding from more than 500 individual research studies of computer-based instruction," Schacter said. It uses computer-based instructions to help accommodate the needs, interests, proclivities, current knowledge, and learning styles of the student. The software has tutorial, drill and practice, and integrated learning systems.
The results showed that students that used computer-based instructions scored 14% higher than students without computers. It also indicated that students learn more in less time when they receive computer-based instruction. Students like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes when their classes include computer-based instruction. The negative finding said that computers did not have positive effects in every area in which they were studied.
