A Study on Education Policy of ‘One Tablet per Student’ in Enhancing Learning Efficiency

In the post-pandemic era, digital tools have become crucial for teaching and learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when the demand for remote education surged. In May 2021, schools across Taiwan faced the sudden challenge of fully transitioning to remote teaching, exposing gaps in their technological infrastructure and teaching methods. To address this, the Ministry of Education launched the “Digital Learning Improvement” program in November 2021. Over the course of four years, NT$20 billion will be invested to ensure “internet access in every classroom and tablets for every student,” providing a more stable foundation for future education.As part of this initiative, classrooms began integrating iPads with interactive learning systems like Kahoot and Loilonote School. These tools enabled teachers to create more engaging and dynamic learning experiences. Students could participate in interactive quizzes, collaborate on projects, and receive immediate feedback, which greatly enhanced their learning engagement. The digital environment also allowed for more personalized teaching methods, making lessons more adaptable to individual learning needs. The program's effectiveness is evident from the results of an experimental study involving 30 students, who showed significant improvements in writing, mathematics, and Mandarin. This demonstrates that incorporating digital devices and applications can effectively boost academic performance. By fostering interactive and student-centered learning, the initiative not only addresses the immediate challenges posed by the pandemic but also lays a solid groundwork for the long-term development of digital education in Taiwan.
