- Abstract The European e-Learning Forum for Education (ELFE) is a project initiated by the ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee on Education). An important objective of the project has been to study good experiences with implementing the use of ICT in schools. This objective has been broken down in seven operational research questions. Three of these questions will be discussed in this article: (1) What difference does the use of ICT make in schools where ICT is intensively used for instructional/pedagogical purposes? (2) How are the students influenced by this different way of teaching as compared to the traditional classroom education, both individually and as a collective? 3) What factors influence the intensive pedagogical use of ICT? The ELFE study applied a case study approach. Three innovative schools in each of five European countries (Denmark, England, Germany, Norway and Portugal) were purposively selected. Data were collected via questionnaires, interviews, observations and school documents. The findings resulting from the ELFE schools case studies illustrate that the implementation of ICT for teaching and learning may influence the functioning of schools in a number of ways. One can also conclude that students like working with computers and that they have no ‘instrumental’ problems. A number of factors seem to influence the successful implementation of ICT at school level such as a good infrastructure, a clear vision, policy and strategy. A crucial factor is support from national, regional and local authorities, as well as from the school leadership and parents.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article is based on a longitudinal study in a municipality that decided to organise a project including the use of computers and extra remedial education in initial reading and writing instruction from the first to the third grade. The study may be regarded as quasi-experimental with 110 students in two project schools and 59 students in two control schools. To explore the extent to which the use of computers in reading instruction made a difference, we followed students in the four schools from Grade 1 to Grade 3. The students’ language skills were tested regularly with different test instruments. In addition to the tests, the students answered a questionnaire, and teachers and principals were interviewed. It was not possible to conclude that the teaching methods in the control schools yielded better reading and writing development than the project schools or vice versa. The results were ambiguous, the control schools performed slightly better in one test in grade 3 and the project schools on another test, when accounting for linguistic awareness in grade 1 and other factors.

Methodologies to optimize the impact of ICT on teaching and learning
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The European eLearning Forum for Education 2 (ELFE2) is a project initiated by the ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee on Education). The project builds on the conclusion of its predecessor ELFE 1, where the use of ICT in education was found to bring a number of benefits to learning and teaching in the studied schools. It was found that the schools stressed motivation, skills, independence and team work as part of learning and learning processes. Regarding teaching processes and teachers it was found that enthusiasm and collaboration seemed to increase when using ICT. However, many existing barriers prevent these benefits from evolving into a solid added value for teaching and learning. ELFE 2 aims, as ELFE 1, to contribute to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of using ICT in education. The project deals particularly with identifying the methodologies used to optimize these benefits of ICT in education. In order to further explore how ICT can be used to support teaching and learning two schools each in five European countries (Denmark, England, Latvia, Poland, and Slovenia) were selected. These schools were selected based on information that indicated that they were regarded nationally as schools with an advanced ICT practice. The idea behind this selection is that by studying schools with what is experienced as an advance practice it will be possible to get some hints about developments, problems and challenges other schools will be faced with in the future. The collected data in ELFE2 indicates that a number of methodologies are used in the visited schools to optimize the positive impact of ICT on teaching and learning. Most of these methodologies are perceived by teachers and students as positive, but there are also factors that make the picture more complex. Some factors seem to be an obstacle for the introduction of ICT in the schools. There are also factors that seem to be a threat to a sustainable use of ICT and also to transferability of good experiences from the involved schools to other schools. The final report of the ELFE2 project will be presented in September 2009 and will form the basis for the paper. Methods/methodology The schools visited in the ELFE2 project were selected by the national teacher organizations as examples of secondary schools where the use of ICT in the schools should be aimed at pedagogical methods and/or addressing new curricular goals. The schools should be regarded as advanced in respect of ICT use in their countries. The selected schools can be regarded as ten case studies. Questionnaires on school ‘facts and figures’, interviews of various categories using interview checklists were used as the research instruments accompanied by walking around in the school and investigating school documents. The school principal was interviewed and also asked to complete a questionnaire. The schools ICT coordinator was asked to complete a questionnaire with information about the schools technical equipment. Focus groups of teachers and students were met and interviewed to identify the perceptions of ICT in school by various stakeholders.
