The aim of this project is to investigate the effects at KS2 and KS3 of moving end of key stage paper-based assessment material onto computer.

The research involves administering materials on paper and computer, of similar characteristics to the end of key stage assessment material (SATs), to samples of pupils in years 6 and 9 respectively, in order to study the effects of medium on the material and consequential effects on the performance of pupils.
