Overview

This volume presents results from a cross national study about the use of computers in education systems. Using national representative samples of schools and teachers in elementary and secondary education, data was collected about issues such as hardware and software, availability, the way computers are used by students and teachers, attitudes towards computers, staff development, administration and policy, and gender equity. This book provides descriptive information about the situation with regard to the introduction of computers, and also shows how different factors in this innovation are related to each other.
