My first reaction is to ask how much has the PISA test they used been adapted
to reflect the learning that students need today?
Second - did the study compare the way computers are used, not just the
frequency?
And third is my reaction to the comment - "Schleicher openly worried that if
students end up "cutting and pasting information from Google" into worksheets
with "prefabricated" questions, "then they're not going to learn a lot." - IF
teachers choose to give students prefabricated questions, then I see no reason
why students shouldn't be looking up the answer online and copying / pasting.
Students don't need to memorize lists of facts. If teachers (and test makers)
started asking questions that required thinking which couldn't be answered in
30 seconds by a search and a copy / paste, then I believe the results to this
research would look very different.
Clearly, I have no opinions about this :)
