Impact and research findings
Mindenki Kódol
We're a non-profit who's mission is to have real world impact beyond the typical demographics that work in STEM. We commission research to check if are meeting this mission.
Rendhagyó tanterv
Coding isn't just about going to a computing class! The micro:bit has projects that are great for all subjects including Design Technology, Physics and Art and Music classes.
Szerte a világon
Although we started in the UK, the micro:bit is now available in class rooms across the world. As new research from different places is available it will be published here.
UK Research Findings
As part of giving up to one million BBC micro:bits for free to every year 7 student in England and Wales, year 8 student in Northern Ireland and S1 student in Scotland the BBC also commissioned an impact study and found that... [BBC]:
- 90%-a a tanulóknak mondta, hogy a micro:bit megmutatta nekik, hogy bárki tud kódolni.
- 86%-a a tanulóknak mondta, hogy a micro:bit az informatika tudományt érdekesebbé tette.
- 70%-al több lány mondta, hogy szívesen választanák az informatikát mint iskolai tantárgyat miután használták a micro:bit-ot.
- 85%-a Tanároknak egyetértett, hogy érdekesebbé tette az ICT/Informatikai órákat a tanulóknak.
- A tanárok fele akik micro:bit-ot használtak azt mondják, hogy most már magabiztosabban érzik magukat tanárként, különösen azok akik azt mondták, hogy nem elég magabiztosak az informatika oktatásban.
