Abstract
AbstractThis study investigated a home/school computer project and its effects on reading, language, and mathematics achievement for students after one year and two years in the project. The treatment group consisted of 142 fourth- and fifth-grade students, each of whom received a computer, printer, and telecommunications equipment for use in learning activities in their homes. The comparison group consisted of 147 fourth- and fifth-grade students at a different school in the same district. The data for the study were collected from the California Achievement Test and the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, 4th edition. The dependent variables were the changes in scale scores over the time period investigated in the study. The findings indicated that participation in the project was not associated with increased academic achievement. Therefore, educators should enter home/school computer projects with caution and realistic expectations.
