  • One of the foremost objectives of much research was the study of the ìeffectsî of video games (aggressive behavior, addiction, isolation, school performance and the like), based on previous assumptions and research on television. But after two decades, research results on video games are somewhat confusing.

      So, if a computer game or "edutainment" product doesn't follow the critera of a-f, is it ineffective and a waste of time? Still no studies show evidence to support the games' effectiveness.

  • Is learning through cake fractions and knitting any better? The Waldorf advocates make it tough to compare, partly because as private schools they administer no standardized tests in elementary grades. And they would be the first to admit that their early-grade students may not score well on such tests because, they say, they don’t drill them on a standardized math and reading curriculum.
