Integrating a Decision Support System into a School: The Effects on Student Functioning

 Poria Kalay, Levinsky College of Education; David Chen, Tel Aviv University

This study examined how students are effected by the integration of an information system into school management's decisions regarding teaching and learning. It found a noticeable improvement in student achievement, especially in both mathematics and English. Also significant is that while individual achievement rose, the number of failures and drop outs fell.  (This is a paid product for non-ISTE members at $5)
