Abstract

The existing studies suggest that if technology is interwoven comprehensively into pedagogy, it can act as a powerful tool for effective learning of the elementary students. This study conducted the meta-analysis by integrating the quantitative findings of 122 peer-reviewed academic papers that measured the impact of technology on learning effectiveness of elementary students. The results confirmed that the technology has a medium effect on learning effectiveness of elementary students. Further, this study analysed the effect sizes of moderating variables such as domain subject, application type, intervention duration, and learning environment. Finally, the impact of technology at different levels of moderating variables has been discussed and the implications for theory and practice are provided.

4. Conclusions

The objective of this study was to integrate the findings of multiple independent research papers measuring the impact of technology on learning effectiveness of elementary students and to draw the general conclusions from them. This study was an attempt to find the mean effect sizes of research studies that experimentally introduced the technology to elementary students and quantitatively compared their learning effectiveness with the control group which underwent traditional learning. This study further attempted to discover the moderating variables that influence the effect of technology on learning effectiveness of elementary students. The review of the present literature encompassed 122 peer-reviewed academic papers with 212 samples and more than 32,000 observations. The findings of these research papers acted as input to the empirical data analysis for this study.
