Although prior knowledge is an important predictor of futureperformanceinmathematics,fewstudieshaveanalyzed which areas of the subject are most critical. Most evidence is based on small- and medium-scale studies fromdevelopedcountries,withresultsthatcannotbegeneralized. We explore which areas of mathematics are the mostimportantpredictorsoffuturepe...
This article analyses the modes of physical access that facilitate participation in digital opportunities and the development of digital skills in children and adolescents (9 to 17 years old). We analysed the data obtained from the Kids Online survey in Chile. A latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted to identify groups based on access points and...
This document provides recommendations for the design of policies to teach Computer Science (CS) in school systems in Latin America, based on a study of the experiences and challenges of a group of selected countries in the region – Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Uruguay – and a view of the state of the art for this field around the wo...
Este documento ofrece recomendaciones para el diseño de políticas para enseñar Ciencias de la Computación (CC) en los sistemas escolares de América Latina, en base a un estudio de las experiencias y desafíos de un grupo de países seleccionados en la región –Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica y Uruguay– así como en una revisión del estado del ar...
The study presented in this paper consisted in defining a Teaching in a Digital Environment (TIDE) capacity construct and developing a performance-based test to measure Chilean teachers' ability to teach students how to solve information and communication tasks in a digital environment. The test was applied to a sample of 828 in-service teachers in...
Diverse international perspectives show that children can benefit greatly from digital opportunities. Despite widespread optimism about the potential of digital technologies, especially for information and education, the research reveals an insufficient evidence base to guide policy and practice across all continents of the world, especially in mid...
This article presents a study that applies integrated and multi-factor path analysis to report the direct and indirect effects of young Brazilian individual and home factors on their online opportunities and risks. The results show that engaging in more online opportunities, being older and having a lower level of parental mediation are associated...
Evidence shows that teachers’ use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the classroom is still limited in variety and frequency. However, their use of ICT outside the classroom, while more frequent, has been less studied. Our research aims to identify personal factors associated with teachers’ ICT use inside and outside the classroom...
This paper studies the similarities and differences among the views of school principals and teachers regarding a mobile computer lab (MCL) initiative implemented in 1,591 public schools in Chile. It also characterizes the aspects in which their views diverge. A mixed methods study was carried out in two stages: first, a quantitative stage, where a...
Teachers’ use of ICT has mainly focused on their use in classroom context and few studies have focused on their use elsewhere. Attempting to fill this gap, this paper presents a case study of 12 secondary teachers characterising their use of ICT in and out-of-the-classroom. Results show that teachers use these tools inside the classroom for present...
This paper provides evidence that helps understand the digital divide in education. It does so by comparing the effect of economic, social and cultural status (ESCS) on the digital skills of Chilean students compared with mathematics and language. This comparison is made using national standardized tests. The marginal effect of a group of variables...
