Mixed Signals: Tech's Impact on Teen Science Whizzes Varies Wildly by Country!
The study found that parental support and socioeconomic status positively impacted science achievement across Turkey, the USA, and South Korea, while student hindering behavior had negative effects. However, the impact of ICT use varied, showing positive effects in Turkey, negative effects in the USA, and no significant effects in South Korea. Gender's influence was only significant in Turkey, with girls outperforming boys in science.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
Cross-Sectional Data
The cross-sectional nature of PISA data limits the study's ability to draw causal conclusions, only allowing for descriptions of relationships between variables.
Lack of Qualitative Data
The study's reliance on quantitative data from PISA questionnaires neglects the qualitative aspects of ICT implementation, such as teacher practices and school conditions.
Limited Generalizability
Focusing on only three countries (Turkey, USA, and South Korea) limits the generalizability of the findings to other contexts and educational systems.
Sampling Limitations
The sample selection from PISA, with students from different classrooms within the same school, may not accurately capture classroom-level effects.
Rating Explanation
This paper presents a solid analysis of PISA 2018 data, investigating a complex interplay of factors influencing student science achievement. Its multilevel modeling approach is appropriate, and the findings offer valuable insights into international educational differences. While the limitations regarding causal inference and generalizability are acknowledged, the study's strengths outweigh these weaknesses, warranting a rating of 4.
