This comes as absolutely no surprise. Research has shown that "Students who read text on paper performed better on comprehension tests than students who read the same text on a screen. The researchers believe that this is because reading on paper allows for deeper processing of the material, as it requires more attention and focus." 30 May 2023 & "Research suggests that it is easier to read from a printed book than from a digital screen. Thus, when reading from a printed book, we can focus more deeply in an almost meditative way. This depth of experience allows us to process information more effectively."13 Aug 2024. I became aware of similar research outcomes over 10 years ago, before I had retired. At the time I was already printing out any and all important, long &/or complex documents and reading material rather than reading it on screen, because I found that reading from a paper version gave me a far better understanding of the material. This was important as my job required me to have a good grasp of a great deal of legal material. It was and is also much easier to quickly highlight specific information and details on a paper document than an electronic one.
I started homeschooling, and we do everything with pen pencil and paper aside from research for a few things. Omg, the homeschool charter I'm a part of, they announced science fair, I got excited to have my son do this, but then I found out it will be virtual! Take out the fun experience of being in a room full of science projects! So we are not gonna do it. He asked me if I could find an in-person science fair. So now I am in search of..
I got a laptop for free through my college, but I only use it for the word processor while I do my art appreciation homework. I stick with physical books and pen and paper otherwise.
I remember the years where the teachers tell us to read a chapter and make a report. in mathematics, solving problems on papers were the best way to apply what we learned. we wasted lots of papers on notes but I think it was worth it.
Oohh, way to go, Riksu! 👀 Although, at the same time, at least a couple years ago the news were covering how there had been some problems with indoor air quality in this particular school (shocker!). You win some, you lose some
The tech boom I think will crash as more and more people wake up to that fact. It looks like gen Z that was raised on tech the most will wholesale reject it in the future.
Parents have known this for a long time and were shouted down for ironically being "old-school". Devices are connected to the Internet therefore will be a distraction while books are focused to the subject at hand... There is not distraction therefore it enables the pupil.
I find it much better to read from a book rather than a screen.
This should be implemented world wide.

For every high tech problem there is a low tech solution.
