Does use of touch screen computer technology improve classroom engagement in children?
Many studies have shown that the use of technology in the classroom may influence pupil
engagement. Despite the recent widespread use of tablet technology, however, very little research has
been carried out into their use in a primary school setting. We investigated the use of tablet computers,
specifically Appleâs âiPadâ, in an upper primary school setting with regard to childrenâs engagement.
Cognitive, emotional and general engagement was higher in lessons based on iPads than those which
were not. There was no difference in behavioral engagement. Of particular significance was the increase
in engagement seen in boys, which resulted in their engagement levels increasing to levels comparable
to those seen in girls. These findings suggest that tablet technology has potential as a tool in the
classroom setting

International audienceWhat is the role of a journal? Is it to follow the research or lead it? For the former, it is to serve as an archival record of the scholarship in a field. It can serve to permit the research community to engage with each other via the written record. But, for the latter, it can serve the research community by pointing out gaps in the research based on the archival record. This review is intended to do just that
