Introduction
•The curriculum:
• make observations, such as on a string instrument, where distinctions are made between low and high tones and sounds from them viewed on a computer screen. p. 34

Introduction
Execution, recording and analysis of information involves a student with greater independence can gather information on a particular subject by a variety of ways, either through computer communication, with observations in the classroom, in the field or with research, also a student should gain practice in recording events and observations in a specific and clear manner, either with numbers and words, graphs, drawings and assistance of models, with or without the aid of a computer. p. 9

Current use of ICT in Iceland
“Often”:
• internet searches
• word processing
• presentation software
• watch videos
• take photos “Close to never”
• simulations
• data loggers
• data bases
“Seldom”:
• spread sheets
• educational software
• photo editing

Why ?
Why is ICT not used more ?
Could it be that teachers are not sure of its effectiveness?
Is it really effective ?
Lets check in the Icelandic context !

Are there measurable differences, linked to conceptual understanding, between an experimental group using an ICT-based science teaching intervention and a comparison group being taught in the usual way?

Intervention
• 8 teachers, volunteers
• 5 experimental - 3 comparison
• 20 classes
• 395 students
• 3 topics from the science curriculum
• 4–6 weeks with DLR’s used in 2–6 lessons
•Instructions and worksheets

Data
•Tests before and after
•Attitude questionnaires before and after
•A sample of lessons observed
•Pupil focus groups
•Teacher interviews

Niðurstaða
“ICT is not the golden ticket”
Short intervention, not realistic to expect large differences
Good tools can make a difference but .......
Tools do not replace effectie teacching
A good tool in the hands of a good teacher the ideal situation
![Page 21: Svava Petursdottir NFSUN 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/55911eb61a28ab9c588b461d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And .....
The pattern ........
A good teacher ?
Less effective teacher ?
