Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents results from a cross national study about the use of computers in 21 education systems. Using national representative samples of schools and teachers in elementary and secondary education, data were 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.
