Abstract

In teaching environments, students that are in the same classroom do not always share the same basic skills. This is also true for ECDL classes. There is a big gap between those who have computers at home and can use them every day and those who do not. In the first case, kids can get distracted because they already know some of the materials and fail to see any new content. In the second case, intimidated by the comparison with more capable peers, learners run the risk of not feeling able to learn the subject. In this experiment, which involved 21 students from a class of the second year of a vocational school, a “short circuit” was put in place between students with different levels of basic skills in order to avoid loss of interest and increase the sense of self-efficacy necessary to take on any examination.
