Ever notice how other countries are almost always well into the „Find Out“ phase with something when Japan is just now deciding to „F Around“ with it?
Sweden is also going back to textbooks.
Prioritizing tablet time over essential subjects like math and Japanese is total madness. I can’t rely on Japanese schools anymore; I have to take matters into my own hands by sending my child to a tutor or teaching them at home. It’s absolutely unacceptable.
I heard the American system is already a mess and I was happy Japan was oldschool. It’s bad enough now they carry these really heavy tablets back and forth every day, but if they start integrating virtual lessons and AI it will be a disaster.
i think they *will* repeat the mistakes. and even if the test scores go down as a result they will not go back to the textbooks.
I published a study about language learning in middle school and had tested a couple of classes. One group studies the material in a book and will answer with pen and paper. Another group would study same material digitally.
The study I made showed that the „pen-and-paper“ group had better results but if we expand that, the „low achievers“ (that’s a definition that I need to unpack but I won’t do it here in a post) scored significantly worse when using digital tools, compared to the „low achievers“ that tested with with non-digital tools and study materials.
High achievers scored marginally worse but results are inconclusive since sample since would be considered too small.
I have no access to the study right this instant but it should be found by searching Asplund, Dennis 2021 „en dans på glosor?“
My kid just joined an elementary school for a couple weeks while back visiting the in-laws, and the lack of screens was her biggest positive.
