Abstract

This pilot study explored a technology-based intervention aimed at increasing student and family engagement in school, using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design. All fourth- and fifth-grade students participated in a classroom-based one-to-one program; some students also received take-home tablets and broadband access. Student surveys assessed behavioral, cognitive, and affective engagement and academic motivation. Parent surveys assessed perceptions of school support, empowerment in schools, and overall experiences in schools. Teachers participated in a focus group to share their impressions of the program. Results showed that affective engagement and academic motivation decreased for all students, with no differences between the intervention and comparison groups. Parents in the intervention group reported greater perceptions of school support but no significant differences or changes in empowerment or overall school experiences. Students, parents, and teachers all reported positive experiences with the program. Findings point to the ways varying contexts may influence engagement in school.

缩小宽带差距：基于技术的学生和家庭参与计划

这项试点研究探索了一种基于技术的干预措施，旨在提高学生和家庭在学校的参与度，采用准实验性前测-后测设计。所有四年级和五年级的学生都参加了一个以课堂为基础的一对一项目；一些学生还获得了带回家的平板电脑和宽带接入。学生调查评估了行为、认知和情感参与以及学术动机。家长调查评估了对学校支持、学校赋权和学校整体经验的看法。老师们参加了一个焦点小组，分享他们对该项目的印象。结果显示，所有学生的情感投入和学习动机都有所下降，干预组和对照组之间没有差异。干预组的家长报告说，他们对学校支持的看法更大，但在赋权或整体学校体验方面没有显著差异或变化。学生、家长和老师都对该项目有积极的体验。研究结果表明，不同的环境可能会影响学校的参与度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
