The project will contribute to identifying the main impact on learning and learners, on teachers and teaching, as well as on primary school development plans and strategies. The comparative analysis will also provide evidence on which to base a set of recommendations on the integration of ICT in education. It will particularly identify the main drivers and enablers for effective and efficient use of ICT, allowing proposing recommendations for policy makers and stakeholders taking into account the environmental background (cultural, social, and economic).
1. Review of existing literature.- Identify key studies in their country based on EUN's selection criteria; provide a bibliographic reference.
- Summarise, translate and describe relevant points (in English) from these studies according to a common template.
2. Deepening the picture: analysis and surveys.
- Assist in identifying schools to complete a school survey.
- Complete an online survey of ICT policy in order to give a comprehensive national report on the state of the play with ICT
in primary schools, by end June 2008.
ITU has provided reviews from existing litterature, reaserch reports, statisics and an overview of the national policy regarding integration of ICT in Primary school.
The European Schoolnet has provided an interim report to the European Commission outlining progress made and issues arising,
the results of the literature review and surveys, work undertaken Empirica (our partner in this project) on the Learnind survey
of head teachers.
Between September 2008 and June 2009 the European Schoolnet will complete a full report on the studies, a country by country
analysis of ICT policy and practice approaches in primary schools using a common analytical framework and undertake detailed
case studies of practice in 15 countries (including school visits - with the support of the national correspondent). The European
Schoolnet also intend to develop a tool to support a community of practice for teachers around examples and scenarios of ICT
in primary teaching and learning. ITU is the national correspondent for this work.
