The main interest of this study was to evaluate the degree of association that the use of ICT could have to school performance in mathematics, within a limited geographical area. The data was obtained thanks to the International Student Assessment Program (PISA). 1376 students from the Canary Islands participated. To obtain the best possible approximation to the phenomenon, a mixed research method was used, in which a linear hierarchical model (HLM) analysis was used to assess the characteristics of students and schools. The results reflected positive changes in school performance influenced by the effective use of ICT. It was shown that learning can be enhanced thanks to ICT, unless its use is not appropriate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
