Abstract
The purpose of this non-experimental, quantitative study was to determine the effectiveness of one-to-one device initiatives in a secondary school setting. Not only was this study focused on the academic achievement of all students, but also the impact of such initiatives on the academic achievement in the free and reduced lunch population. The study was conducted utilizing standardized test scores from 30 schools in the state of Missouri. Test scores from three years pre-implementation and three years post implementation were compiled and analyzed using a paired samples t-test. The results demonstrated that one-to-one device initiatives were ineffective at improving academic achievement in the areas of math and English language arts. As one-to-one devices become more commonly utilized by school districts, this study serves as an opportunity to determine their effectiveness and consider the amount of money being used for their implementation.
