Abstract |
The
EMILE project was undertaken by a team of academics and independent
researchers from six different countries (Scotland, France, Hungary,
Italy, and Norway), working together using a common methodology to
observe the way information and communication technology (ICT) was
being introduced and used in primary and secondary schools and to
conduct intercultural analyses based on their observations. The data
gathering strategies were mainly qualitative, comprising interviews
and classroom observations, involving pupils, teachers and Educational
Managers. |
