Summary
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has profound implications for education, both because it can facilitate new forms of learning and because it has become important for young people to master ICT in preparation for adult life. But how extensive is access to ICT in schools and informal settings and how is it used by students? Drawing on data from the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), this publication examines: whether access to computers for students is equitable across countries and student groups, how students use ICT and what their attitudes are towards ICT, the relationship between students' access to and use of ICT and their performance in PISA 2003, and the implications for educational policy.--Publisher summary.
