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% moksleivių teigė, kad micro:bit parodė, jog kiekvienas gali programuoti.
- 86% moksleivių teigė, kad su micro:bit informatikos pamokos tapo įdomesnės.
- 70% daugiau mergaičių teigė, kad rinksis informatikos pamokas, po to, kai naudojo micro:bit.
- 85% mokytojų sutinka, kad su juo kompiuterių mokslo pamokos vaikams labiau patinka.
- Pusė mokytojų, kurie naudojo micro:bit sako, kad dabar jie jaučiasi labiau pasitikintys kaip pedagogai, ypač tie, kurie teigia nesijaučia užtikrinti dėstant informatiką.
