'Students learn better through smart tablets'

zoetermeer - Mathematics and language teaching in primary schools will benefit from the use of 'smart' tablets. These tablets use software that adapts to the level of the students. This is evident from studies of the Radboud University Nijmegen and Twente University among more than 2500 students. This was reported by the Knowledge Network, the public organization for education and ICT.

The software lets students know immediately whether the answer is right or wrong. After a correct answer, the student gets a tougher new question. A student who gives a wrong answer, get a less tough question. Therefore prove students learn more and faster than education without the smart tablets. The teacher receives an electronic overview of the performance and can be tailor lessons accordingly.

,, Every teacher wants his students to teach on their own level. But with more than twenty students in the classroom is physically impossible. We now know that with this kind of adaptive education technology can do, '' said Kennisnet.
