ED51 ICT-assisted instruction performance ratio (by gender, by type of institution, <strong>and</strong> by grade) (for<br />

ISCED levels 1-3)<br />

Definition:<br />

Promotion rate of learners in grades with ICTassisted<br />

instruction divided by the promotion rate of<br />

learners in grades with NO ICT-assisted instruction in<br />

primary <strong>and</strong> secondary education<br />

Data requirement:<br />

Indica<strong>to</strong>r ED49 <strong>and</strong> Indica<strong>to</strong>r ED50<br />

Formula:<br />

Purpose:<br />

To derive a proxy measure of differential performance<br />

of ICT assisted instruction versus non-ICT assisted<br />

instruction.<br />

Method of collection:<br />

Administrative data collection through annual school<br />

census (or extract data from school records).<br />

Data source(s):<br />

Statistical unit of the Ministry of Education or,<br />

alternatively, the national statistical office.<br />

Indica<strong>to</strong>r ED49 = Promotion rate of learners in grades receiving ICT-assisted instruction<br />

Indica<strong>to</strong>r ED50= Promotion rate of learners in grades not receiving ICT-assisted instruction<br />

Analysis <strong>and</strong> interpretation:<br />

A value close <strong>to</strong> 1 for this indica<strong>to</strong>r implies no significant<br />

‘incidence’ of ICT use on the promotion rate of learners.<br />

A value below 1 signal that learners do not necessarily<br />

‘benefit’ from ICT-assisted instruction.<br />

A value above 1 for this indica<strong>to</strong>r implies that, at least,<br />

ICT-assisted instruction does not have a negative impact<br />

on the learning process.<br />

Observing the time series for the same indica<strong>to</strong>r over<br />

several years is likely <strong>to</strong> convey a more convincing<br />

argument as <strong>to</strong> whether or not ICT use in education can<br />

potentially have a significant impact on the performance<br />

of learners.<br />

Cost-efficiency assessment coupled with contextual<br />

analysis of both education delivery modes (conventional<br />

<strong>and</strong> ICT-assisted) can help <strong>to</strong> draw additional<br />

conclusions.<br />

Methodological <strong>and</strong> definition issues or operational<br />

limitations:<br />

In countries where learners are au<strong>to</strong>matically<br />

promoted, this indica<strong>to</strong>r cannot be interpreted.<br />

Countries that apply a quota system for promoting<br />

students in terminal grades which use (or not) ICT for<br />

teaching will also make this indica<strong>to</strong>r meaningless.
