Possible literacy and numeracy effects on learning/engagement
Project Dates: 2013 - 2014
This research project examined the influence of using iPad numeracy and literacy applications in Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Youth Guarantee programmes on the learning and attitudes of the students. The ways that having these apps in the programme might influence the students' approach to the learning, and their attitude to learning in numeracy and literacy, would be considered. As well, the extent of staff engagement and the processes that staff found valuable were be part of the study, with implications for the identification of the most appropriate apps, staff professional development, and enhanced future use, being potential outcomes of the study. It also considered the results of the online assessment of the learning, at three different locations.
