Barron, Brigid; Walter, Sarah E., Martin, Caitlin Kennedy, Schatz, Colin (Jan2010). Predictors of creative
computing participation and profiles of experience in two Silicon Valley middle schools. Computers &
Education; jan2010, Vol. 54 Issue 1, p178-189, 12p
The authors Brigid Barron, Sarah E. Walter, Caitlin Kennedy Martin, and Colin Schatz studied 160 8th grade learners in Silicon Valley. The study detailed that having access to a computer was not as important as what technological tools the students used while having access to a computer. The study was in two different schools, and the parents had different educational levels. The study used regression analysis. The study concluded that students with a wider array of learning resources were more confident in their computer skills.
