Abstract
In November 2004, economists Thomas Fuchs and Ludger Woessmann
published a
statistical analysis of the relationship between technology and
student achievement
using year 2000 data from the Programme for International Student
Assessment
(PISA). The 2000 PISA was the first in a series of triennial
assessments of
15-year-olds conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development
(OECD). The assessment included problems in reading, math, and
science, as well
as questions about student background, school characteristics, and
information
on the use of computers and the Internet at home and at school. Fuchs
and Woessmann
analyzed data from 31 countries: 96,855 students tested in math and
174,227
students tested in reading.
