The purpose of this study is to design and implement an online interactive learning program to improve migrant children’s Internet skills. With the help of the Italian Association of Media Education, we designed an online program (http://yzj.edulife.eu/j/?lang=en) comprised of five interactive learning modules including an array of practice activities to support students’ development of retrieving, assessing, storing, producing, presenting and exchanging information. During the 2011 spring semester, 143 fourth and fifth grade students from Minzhu Experimental School were invited to attend the program with the guidance of three ICT educators and two researchers. Pre- and post-tests and interviews examined the effectiveness of the program. Data analysis found that migrant children’s Internet self-efficacy and Internet exploratory behavior were significantly improved by attending the program. Based on observed program limitations, suggestions for improvement are proposed in the last part of the study.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design and implement an online interactive learning program to improve migrant children’s Internet skills. With the help of the Italian Association of Media Education, we designed an online program (http://yzj.edulife.eu/j/?lang=en) comprised of five interactive learning modules including an array of practice activities to support students’ development of retrieving, assessing, storing, producing, presenting and exchanging information. During the 2011 spring semester, 143 fourth and fifth grade students from Minzhu Experimental School were invited to attend the program with the guidance of three ICT educators and two researchers. Pre- and post-tests and interviews examined the effectiveness of the program. Data analysis found that migrant children’s Internet self-efficacy and Internet exploratory behavior were significantly improved by attending the program. Based on observed program limitations, suggestions for improvement are proposed in the last part of the study.
