Different learning environments can greatly impact how we evaluate the use of educational technologies. Here are some key points to consider:
-
Learning Settings:
- Most learning happens in traditional classrooms, making up 60% of environments.
- The other 40% consists of online or hybrid (a mix of online and in-person) settings.
- Students who learn online are 70% more engaged when using interactive technologies.
- In contrast, only 40% of students feel engaged in traditional classrooms.
-
Ways to Check Learning:
- In interactive learning situations, teachers prefer formative assessments, which help track progress over time. About 75% of teachers say they get better feedback this way.
- On the other hand, formal evaluations show that using technology can boost student performance by 20% compared to tests that do not use technology.
-
Student Involvement:
- A study found that students in blended learning (mixing online and in-person classes) are 50% more motivated when using educational technologies.
- Additionally, mobile learning increases student participation by 30% compared to traditional methods.
-
Learning Success:
- Research shows that using technology can help students remember information better, with improved retention rates of up to 25%.
- In fact, 80% of schools that use different learning environments report being successful in using educational technologies.
These numbers highlight how important it is to consider different learning contexts when evaluating educational technologies.
