Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner- Centred Design at the London Knowledge Lab
and a visiting professor at the University of Sussex, is working on a study
examining the internet's impact on pupils' critical and meta-cognitive
skills. “The worrying view coming through is that students are lacking in
reflective awareness,” she says. “Technology makes it easy for them to
collate information, but not to analyse and understand it. Much of the
evidence suggests that what is going on out there is quite superficial.”
