Research into the impact of

ICT in Learning and Teaching

Fife Education is a partner authority involved with the Measurement of the Impact of ICT on Children's Education (pronounced as "mice" with 2 Is)


Purpose
"to contribute to the debate about the ends of more widespread use of ICT for learning and teaching. Use of ICT makes real demands - in money and time - on education authorities, schools, teachers and children. We need to be clearer about the benefits which we can anticipate"

The MIICE quality framework
· Structures are related to How good is our school? but it offers considerably greater detail
· There are 13 learning outcomes refined from observation of qualities resulting from good use of ICT in classrooms (these are akin to the quality indicators in HGIOS)

1. Learner reflection
2. Skills development
3. Managing and manipulating digital information
4. Shared planning/Organisation
5. Investigatory learning
6. Shared learning
7. Motivation

Management of learning involving ICT

8. Enhancing learning outcomes
9. Quality of outcomes
10. Self esteem/confidence

Teachers' continuing professional development in ICT

11. Teacher use of computers as productivity tools
12. Teacher facilitating the learning of ICT principles and good habits
13. Teacher use of ICT as a rich and effective means of learning
