"After decades of paper-and-pencil tests, the new results from the
“nation’s report card”
in writing come from a computer-based assessment for the first time,
but only about one-quarter of the 8th and 12th graders performed at the
proficient level or higher. And the proficiency rates were far lower for
black and Hispanic students.
With the new National Assessment of Educational Progress in writing,
students not only responded to questions and composed their essays on
laptop computers, but also were evaluated on how frequently they used
word-processing review tools like “spell check” and editing tools such
as copying and cutting text. Some prompts also featured multimedia
components.
According to the NAEP report, released today, the switch from paper
and pencil to a computer-based test is tied to recognition of the role
technology plays in a 21st-century student’s life. In 2009, a hands-on
and computerized science NAEP was administered, and all new NAEP exams
are slated to be computerized, including, for example, a 2014 technology
and engineering assessment..."
é verdade. uma das minhas cunhadas esteve cá há dias e estava muito surpreendida com os resultados. Mas pude observar que os meus sobrinhos, que nasceram com o computador e que, na primária, já eram mais rápidos do que nós - uso o computador desde 86 e os meus filhos aprenderam a sentar-se com o computador, so to speak, usam o iPad de forma pouco inteligente, apenas no chat e a ver sites sem interesse. fazem com o iPad o que os nossos miúdos mal educados fazem com o telemóvel, sempre a dedilhar, mesmo durante as refeições. Não fiquei admirada, portanto.
