3+Multitasking+vs.+Student+Focus

QUESTION Will the computers affect grades? GROUP MEMBERS Molly, Montse, Emmerson and Herbert EXPERIMENT We will make a test and apply it to different students, one day they will solve it on the computer and then they will solve it on paper. After grading the first test (the one on the computer) we will compare it to the test that was done without the use of a computer and we will determine whether the use of the computer affected the grade of the students or it didn’t. EXPERIMENT RESULTS The students that solved it on paper had lower grades, the highest grade accomplished was 3 out of 5. The students that solved the test on the computer got higher grades, the highest was 4 out of 5. CONCLUSION According to our experiment, students that had a computer and access to internet did better in the test than students that did not have access to a computer and solved the test with a sheet of paper and a pencil. RECOMMENDATIONS We would recommend that every student has access to acomputer

 * 1 experiment we are doing is a multitasking experiment. We are going to have 5 people listening to us talk. 1 will have nothing, 1 a tablet, 1 a ipad, 1 a notebook, and 1 has a netbook. After we are done talking we will individually quiz each student 5 questions about what we talked about. The netbook got 5/5 on the test, listened didn't look at the speaker and thought it was hard. The notebook got a 5/5 on the test, listened didn't look at the speaker and thought it was hard. The i-pad got a 3/5 on the test, partially listened, looked at the seaker once and thought it was hard. The tablet got a 2/5, wasnt listening didnt look at the speaker and thought it was very hard. **


 * Will the computer in general distract a student from the teacher or the learning? **
 * If a student has a computer in front of them, will they be distracted more than a person without a computer? **
 * We will have 3 people in front of a computer and 3 people without a computer. We will read them the history of golf since 1497. We will then give them a pop quiz to see which ones get a better grade. **
 * The people with a computer got 0/5, 0/5 and 1/5. People without the computer got 0/5, 1/5, and 3/5 **
 * Generally people without a computer get better grades and do not get distracted as easily. **
