Can technology improve the classroom experience in primary education? An African experiment on a worldwide program
在安哥拉随机实验评估ProFuturo全球教育项目，发现计算机辅助学习软件提高了教师出勤和教学实践，增强了学生学习兴趣和亲社会行为，但仅提升了最受欢迎科目的考试成绩。
Primary school coverage has been increasing in most developing countries. Yet, it has not been accompanied by significant improvements in learning indicators. We implemented a randomized experiment in Angola around the introduction of ProFuturo, a worldwide educational program. The program includes a Computer-assisted Learning (CAL) software directed at improving the regular classroom experience. One year after the program started, we find higher familiarity with technology. Teachers miss fewer days of classes and implement better teaching practices. Students become more interested in learning and pro-social. Finally, the program improves students’ test scores but only in the most popular subject in the CAL platform.
