Discussion: Evaluating Purpose Statements
There is a link between understanding the purpose of one’s
research and selecting the appropriate methods to investigate
the questions that are derived from that purpose.
–(Newman, Ridenour, Newman, & DeMarco, G. M. P., Jr.,
2003, p. 169)
For this Discussion, you will evaluate the purpose statements in
assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the
alignment of theory, problem, and purpose. You will also
explain your position on the relationship between research and
social change.
Alignment means that a research study possesses clear and
logical connections among all of its various components. To
achieve these connections, researchers must carefully craft the
components of their study such that when they are viewed
together, there is a coherent interrelationship.
As you read the authors’ purpose statements, consider how well
the intent of the study, and its connection to the problem and
theoretical framework, is presented. Also consider if the
purpose statement reveals the study’s potential for engendering
positive social change.
As you know, social change is a distinguishing feature of
Walden University’s mission. Positive social change implies a
transformation that results in positive outcomes. This can
happen at many levels (e.g., individual, family systems,
neighborhoods, organizations, nationally and globally); and
positive social change can occur at different rates: slow and
gradual or fast and radical.
With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal
Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion.
You will switch your journal article assignment from Week 3. If
your last name starts with A through L, use Article B. If your
last name starts with M through Z, use Article A. Follow the
prompt below for your program.
By Day 4
Post a critique of the research study in which you:
· Evaluate the purpose statement.
The Purpose Statement Checklist serves as a guide for your
evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No
format in writing your Discussion post.
· Analyze alignment among the theory, research problem, and
purpose.
· Explain your position on the relationship between research and
social change.

iPADS AT SCHOOL? A QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLCHILDREN’S PEN-ON-PAPER
VERSUS FINGER-ON-SCREEN DRAWING SKILLS

ABSTRACT
A growing number of schools are embracing new mobile
technologies,
such as iPads, with little (or no) prior empirical proof of their
usability.
We investigated whether iPads, which allow children to write
and draw
with their fingers without the need of a pen, are relevant
devices for drawing
activities at elementary school. A within-participants design
was used
to compare routine drawings produced by 46 elementary
schoolchildren
with pen on paper (standard condition) and fingertip on screen
(iPad
condition). Results revealed a significant effect of drawing
condition on
graphic scores, with lower scores in the iPad condition than in
the standard
condition. The finding that finger drawings were slightly poorer
than pen
drawings can be ascribed to the shift from distal to more
proximal control
of the drawing movements.
The iPad is a touchscreen tablet that was launched by Apple in
January 2010,
and has since proved extremely popular. This new device
combines several
features of previously distinct technologies (Buckley, 2010).
For example, iPads
have all the functionality and connectivity of laptop computers,
but are far more

lightweight, and all the mobility of smartphones, but with a
larger, multi-touch flat
screen. The iPad’s finger-based interface is intuitive to use,
convenient, and can
be used to perform a variety of activities, including writing and
drawing with
the fingertip. A recent survey of the most commonly used
devices in educational
settings (Pegrum, Oakley, & Faulkner, 2013) revealed that iPads
are now a
familiar feature in classrooms around the world, regarded as a
promising tool for
supporting teaching and learning. Accordingly, several projects
looking at how
iPads are implemented in educational settings have been
conducted in the past
3 years (e.g., United States: Bansavich, 2011; Scotland: Burden,
Hopkins, Male,
Martin, & Traval, 2012; Canada: Crichton, Pegler, & White,
2012; Australia:
Jennings, Anderson, Dorset, & Mitchell, 2010, and Oakley,
Pergrum, Faulkner,
& Striepe, 2012). These qualitative projects examined students’
and educators’
motivations, perceptions, and attitudes toward the use of iPads
in the classroom,
via surveys, classroom observations, focus groups, and
interviews. As a whole,
these projects indicated that the iPad was well received by
teachers and students
alike, who were convinced that it changed learning for the
better. A robust
observation was that iPad use seemingly increased students’
levels of motivation
and self-efficacy, while it encouraged teachers to explore
alternative activities
and forms of assessments for learning, especially in elementary
school settings.
However, beyond the initial burst of motivation and the novelty
effect of the
iPad technology in the classroom, the longer-term benefits were
less clearcut.
This uncertainty derives from the very limited amount of
quantitative research
that has been conducted in this area (partly due to the newness
of the technology
and its use in educational settings). Two notable exceptions are
studies that
have tested the impact of iPads on mathematical skills. Carr
(2012) carried out
a quantitative study in which fifth graders (10-11 years) from
two different
schools either used iPads during math lessons (experimental
group) or did not
(control group). Math skills were assessed at pre-test and post-
test using standard
questionnaires. The effects of iPad use, as measured by changes
in the mean
difference between the experimental and control groups between
pretest and
posttest, were not significant. For their part, Haydon et al.
(2012) conducted a
quantitative study in which high school students with emotional
disturbance
alternatively used iPads (experimental condition) or worksheets
(comparison
condition) to complete math problems. Students solved more
math problems and
in less time in the iPad condition than in the worksheet one.
This encouraging
finding should nevertheless be viewed with caution, on account
of the small
number of students (N = 3) involved in the study. To
summarize, there is paucity
of research confirming the positive impact of iPads in the
classroom.
More quantitative research, using a rigorous methodology, is
needed to plug
this gap in the existing literature, and help teachers make
informed decisions about
purchasing and using iPads at school in different areas
(numeracy, literacy,
drawing skills, etc.). Unlike previous studies that have
concentrated on math
skills, we decided to focus on drawing skills. We designed the
present study to test
204 / PICARD, MARTIN AND TSAO
whether iPads are a useful medium for drawing activities at
elementary school.
It is important to study the use of tablets in drawing because the
iPad’s finger-
based interface means that users can draw with the fingertip,
thereby obviating the
need to handle a pen or a stylus, with all the challenges that can
bring. Drawing
is a complex skill that develops during childhood and requires
the combination
of motor, perceptual, and cognitive components (Laszlo &
Broderick, 1985).
Children have to learn to handle writing/drawing implements,
and this is some-
thing that many of them find difficult (Connolly & Dagleish,
1989). Previous
studies have shown that there is considerable variability in the
manner in which
children hold pens and pencils (see, for example, Blöte,
Zielstra, & Zoetewey,
1987; Braswell, Rosengren, & Pierroutsakos, 2007; Connolly &
Dagleish, 1989),
and this affects the quality of their graphic production (Braswell
et al., 2007;
Martlew, 1992). As iPads allow for finger drawing, and are now
making inroads
into schools, it is worth testing whether their ease of use and
immediacy actually
improve the quality of drawings produced in an educational
context. To that
end, we adopted a within-participants design in which we
compared drawings
of a familiar object produced by elementary schoolchildren with
pen on paper
(standard condition) and fingertip on screen (iPad condition).
Based on the
hypothesis that finger drawing on an iPad screen enhances the
quality of the
resulting production because it bypasses the difficulties
involved in handling a
pen, we predicted that drawing quality would differ between
conditions, with
children scoring higher in the iPad condition than in the
standard one.
METHOD
Participants
Forty-six children from kindergarten (5-6 years, n = 22, mean
age = 5 years
7 months, SD = 4 months, 11 boys) and Grade 2 (7-8 years, n =
24, mean age =
7 years 6 months, SD = 4 months, 13 boys) took part in the
study. These two
different age groups were chosen because they contained
children with different
levels of drawing practice and formal learning of writing. All
the children attended
state elementary schools in France. None of them had been
diagnosed with a
learning disability or a special educational need. According to
their teachers,
the children had never used an iPad at school prior to the study.
Materials
The materials consisted of an Apple iPad Version 1, sheets of
white paper,
and a black felt-tip pen. The sheets of paper measured the same
size as the
iPad’s drawing surface (14.5 × 16 cm), and both were presented
in a portrait
format for the drawing task. The black felt-tip pen was chosen
because it pro-
duced lines of approximately the same thickness (2 mm) as the
electronic black
felt-tip pen of the Drawing Pad app.

Procedure
We set up a drawing workshop in a corner of the children’s
classroom, with
an iPad placed flat on a large table next to a sheet of paper and
a pen. Two chairs
were put in front of the large table, so that the children could sit
either in front
of the iPad or in front of the standard drawing material. The
children were invited
one at a time to come to the drawing workshop and produce “the
best drawing
of a house you can,” using each medium in turn. A house was
selected as the
subject of the drawing because it is a very familiar one for
children, and is
sufficiently straightforward for children as young as 5 years to
produce, using
their well-established graphic routines (see Picard & Vinter,
2005). In the standard
condition, children used their dominant hand to draw with the
pen on the paper.
In the iPad condition, they drew with the tip of the index finger
of their domi-
nant hand. The resulting drawings were saved in electronic files
for subsequent
analysis. It should be noted that the children were not allowed
to use an eraser in
either drawing condition. The order in which the house
drawings were produced
in the iPad and standard conditions was counterbalanced across
participants
in each age group. The iPad condition was preceded by a short
familiarization
phase, during which each child was shown how to draw lines
(horizontal, vertical,
and oblique) and simple geometric shapes (circle, square,
triangle, cross) using
his/her index finger on the touch screen. This phase, lasting no
more than
2 minutes, allowed the children to feel comfortable using the
iPad’s drawing app.
In each condition, the children were given a maximum of 10
minutes to produce
their drawing.
Coding
A total of 92 individual paper and electronic drawings were
collected for
analysis. The quality of these drawings was assessed on a
standardized graphic
scale yielding an overall graphic score (Barrouillet, Fayol, &
Chevrot, 1994).
This scale includes 21 items (see Table 1), each scored 1 point
if it is present in
the drawing, except for Item 21, which is scored 2 points. A
maximum score of
22 points could thus be obtained on the scale. The coding of the
drawings was
performed by two judges working independently. Interjudge
reliability was
high (> 98%), and the handful of disagreements that arose
(1.08%) were settled
by discussion prior to the data analysis. Individual graphic
scores on the house-
drawing scale were used as the dependent variable.
RESULTS
For both drawing conditions, the data were checked for
skewness (standard:
S = –.03; iPad: S = –.35) and kurtosis (standard: K = .05; iPad:
K = .28), which were
both within the normal range, and Levene’s test was run, F(1,
90) = .80, p = .37,
indicating the suitability of using an analysis of variance
(ANOVA). A mixed

*Items for which there was a significant change in the
children’s productions between
the standard and iPad drawing conditions (McNemar test).
ANOVA was run on the graphic scores, with drawing condition
(2) as a within-
participants variable, and sex (2), age group (2), and order (2)
as between-
participants variables. We set an alpha level of .05 for all
statistical analyses.
The ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of drawing
condition, F(1, 38) =
14.35, p = .001, �2p = .27, with higher scores in the standard
drawing condition
(M = 11.04, SD = 2.49) than in the iPad one (M = 9.67, SD =
2.93). There was no
other significant main or interaction effect (all ps > .05). A
closer look at the
data indicated that, out of the 46 children, 27 (59%) scored
higher in the standard
condition, 14 (30%) achieved similar scores in both conditions,
and just 5 (11%)
scored higher in the iPad condition. It should be noted that,
despite the lower
scores in the iPad condition, the children’s graphic scores were
generally within
the normal range for their age in both conditions.
We decided to take a closer look at the data in order to
determine which aspects
of the drawings deteriorated when the children drew with their
fingers on the
iPad. To that end, we examined the occurrence of each item in
each of the two
drawing conditions (see Table 1), using McNemar tests to look
for significant
changes between the standard and iPad conditions. Significant
changes were
found for the following five items: Item 3 (roof shape), �2(1) =
4.17, p < .05;
Item 7 (door handle), �2(1) = 4.90, p < .05; Item 14 (window
proportions),
�2(1) = 5.06, p < .05; Item 15 (window alignment), �2(1) =
5.06, p < .05; and
Item 17 (shutters), �2(1) = 5.14, p < .05. As can be seen in
Table 1, all these
items were produced less frequently in the iPad condition.1 The
lower graphic
scores in the iPad condition were thus due to deterioration in
the shape of
the roof, the proportions and spatial alignment of the windows,
and to the loss
of some accessory features (i.e., door handle, window shutters)
(see illustration
in Figure 1).
DISCUSSION
This study was designed to examine the ease of use and
immediacy of iPads
for drawing in an educational context. We were interested in
testing whether
iPads constitute a useful medium for drawing activities at
elementary school, by
virtue of the fact that they allow children to draw with their
fingers, thus obviating
the need to handle a pen. Contrary to our main hypothesis, we
found a slight but
significant decrease in graphic scores in the iPad (finger
drawing) condition,
208 / PICARD, MARTIN AND TSAO
1 It should be noted that several items on Barrouillet et al.’s
scale were interdependent
(e.g., Item 3 (roof shape) is contingent upon Item 2 (roof); Item
7 (door handle) depends
on Item 6 (door), etc.). Each of the items for which we detected
a significant change in
the children’s productions between drawing conditions (Items 3,
7, 14, 15, and 17) was
dependent on items where no significant change was found (roof
for Item 3; door for
Item 7; window, two windows, or two or more windows for
Items 14, 15, and 17). Thus,
despite the inter-dependence of some items, the results yielded
by the McNemar tests were
not interpretatively ambiguous.

compared with the standard (paper/pen drawing) condition. The
finding that
drawings produced on iPads were inferior to those produced
with paper/pen
contrasts with results from studies comparing children’s
drawings produced with
tablet computers versus traditional media (e.g., Couse & Chen,
2010; Martin &
Ravenstein, 2006; Martin & Velay, 2012; Matthews & Jessel,
1993; Matthews &
Seow, 2007; Olsen, 1992; Trepanier-Street, Hong, & Bauer,
2001). These studies
either reported a positive impact of technology on drawing
quality (Couse & Chen,
2010; Martin & Velay, 2012; Matthews & Seow, 2007; Olsen,
1992; Trepanier-
Street et al., 2001), or else a nonsignificant difference between
drawing conditions
(Martin & Ravenstein, 2006; Matthews & Jessel, 1993). It is
worth noting,
however, that the children in these studies were provided with a
stylus to draw on
the computer, whereas in our study they had to draw with their
fingertip on a tablet.
One explanation for the present findings is that despite motor
equivalence
(similarity in stroke production across many contexts; see
Bernstein, 1967;
Lashley, 1930), there are a number of fundamental differences
between drawing
with a pen on a page and drawing with a fingertip on a flat
screen, starting with
the muscles that subserve the actions. Whereas pen trajectory is
mostly controlled
by distal joints and flexion/extension of the fingers, finger
drawing may call for
the involvement of proximal joints (elbow, shoulder) in motor
control. The shift
from distal to more proximal control of finger movements may
have accounted
for the poorer graphic performance observed in finger drawing.
Then again, the
participants in our study had not had any prior practice with
iPads at school,
and were not given the opportunity to learn or improve, as they
only produced
a single finger drawing on the iPad, and did not receive any
feedback. It is,
therefore, possible that our negative findings partly stemmed
from insufficient
training in the finger drawing technique.
Future research could focus on learning to draw with tablets in
the classroom,
in order to test the effectiveness of iPads versus paper/pen in
helping typically
developing children to learn to draw not just simple, but also
more complex
objects. This approach could then be extended to children with
disabilities or
special educational needs, such as those with Down syndrome.
These children
often encounter difficulties in fine motor skills, and are
particularly delayed
in their drawing ability (see, for example, Clements & Barrett,
1994; Cox &
Maynard, 1998; Laws & Lawrence, 2001; Tsao & Mellier,
2005). It would be
worthwhile assessing the usability of iPads and the finger
drawing technique for
supporting learning to draw in this special population.

Discussion Evaluating Purpose StatementsThere is a link between

  • 1. Discussion: Evaluating Purpose Statements There is a link between understanding the purpose of one’s research and selecting the appropriate methods to investigate the questions that are derived from that purpose. –(Newman, Ridenour, Newman, & DeMarco, G. M. P., Jr., 2003, p. 169) For this Discussion, you will evaluate the purpose statements in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, and purpose. You will also explain your position on the relationship between research and social change. Alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. To achieve these connections, researchers must carefully craft the components of their study such that when they are viewed together, there is a coherent interrelationship. As you read the authors’ purpose statements, consider how well the intent of the study, and its connection to the problem and theoretical framework, is presented. Also consider if the purpose statement reveals the study’s potential for engendering positive social change. As you know, social change is a distinguishing feature of Walden University’s mission. Positive social change implies a transformation that results in positive outcomes. This can happen at many levels (e.g., individual, family systems, neighborhoods, organizations, nationally and globally); and positive social change can occur at different rates: slow and gradual or fast and radical. With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion. You will switch your journal article assignment from Week 3. If your last name starts with A through L, use Article B. If your last name starts with M through Z, use Article A. Follow the prompt below for your program.
  • 2. By Day 4 Post a critique of the research study in which you: · Evaluate the purpose statement. The Purpose Statement Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post. · Analyze alignment among the theory, research problem, and purpose. · Explain your position on the relationship between research and social change. Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style. Read a selection of your classmates’ postings. By Day 6 Respond to a classmate who was assigned a different article than you by further supporting his or her critique or respectfully offering a differing perspective. By Day 4 Post a critique of the research study in which you: · Evaluate the purpose statement using the Purpose Statement Checklist as a guide · Analyze alignment among the theory, problem, and purpose · Explain your position on the relationship between research and social change Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

A within-participants design was used to compare routine drawings produced by 46 elementary schoolchildren with pen on paper (standard condition) and fingertip on screen (iPad condition). Results revealed a significant effect of drawing condition on graphic scores, with lower scores in the iPad condition than in the standard condition. The finding that finger drawings were slightly poorer than pen drawings can be ascribed to the shift from distal to more proximal control of the drawing movements. The iPad is a touchscreen tablet that was launched by Apple in January 2010, and has since proved extremely popular. This new device combines several features of previously distinct technologies (Buckley, 2010). For example, iPads have all the functionality and connectivity of laptop computers, but are far more

The iPad’s finger-based interface is intuitive to use, convenient, and can be used to perform a variety of activities, including writing and drawing with the fingertip. A recent survey of the most commonly used devices in educational settings (Pegrum, Oakley, & Faulkner, 2013) revealed that iPads are now a familiar feature in classrooms around the world, regarded as a promising tool for supporting teaching and learning. Accordingly, several projects looking at how
  • 28. iPads are implemented in educational settings have been conducted in the past 3 years (e.g., United States: Bansavich, 2011; Scotland: Burden, Hopkins, Male, Martin, & Traval, 2012; Canada: Crichton, Pegler, & White, 2012; Australia: Jennings, Anderson, Dorset, & Mitchell, 2010, and Oakley, Pergrum, Faulkner, & Striepe, 2012). These qualitative projects examined students’ and educators’ motivations, perceptions, and attitudes toward the use of iPads in the classroom, via surveys, classroom observations, focus groups, and interviews. As a whole, these projects indicated that the iPad was well received by teachers and students alike, who were convinced that it changed learning for the better. A robust observation was that iPad use seemingly increased students’ levels of motivation and self-efficacy, while it encouraged teachers to explore alternative activities and forms of assessments for learning, especially in elementary school settings.
  • 29. However, beyond the initial burst of motivation and the novelty effect of the iPad technology in the classroom, the longer-term benefits were less clearcut. This uncertainty derives from the very limited amount of quantitative research that has been conducted in this area (partly due to the newness of the technology and its use in educational settings). Two notable exceptions are studies that have tested the impact of iPads on mathematical skills. Carr (2012) carried out a quantitative study in which fifth graders (10-11 years) from two different schools either used iPads during math lessons (experimental group) or did not (control group). Math skills were assessed at pre-test and post- test using standard questionnaires. The effects of iPad use, as measured by changes in the mean difference between the experimental and control groups between pretest and posttest, were not significant. For their part, Haydon et al. (2012) conducted a
  • 30. quantitative study in which high school students with emotional disturbance alternatively used iPads (experimental condition) or worksheets (comparison condition) to complete math problems. Students solved more math problems and in less time in the iPad condition than in the worksheet one. This encouraging finding should nevertheless be viewed with caution, on account of the small number of students (N = 3) involved in the study. To summarize, there is paucity of research confirming the positive impact of iPads in the classroom. More quantitative research, using a rigorous methodology, is needed to plug this gap in the existing literature, and help teachers make informed decisions about purchasing and using iPads at school in different areas (numeracy, literacy, drawing skills, etc.). Unlike previous studies that have concentrated on math skills, we decided to focus on drawing skills. We designed the present study to test
  • 31. 204 / PICARD, MARTIN AND TSAO whether iPads are a useful medium for drawing activities at elementary school. It is important to study the use of tablets in drawing because the iPad’s finger- based interface means that users can draw with the fingertip, thereby obviating the need to handle a pen or a stylus, with all the challenges that can bring. Drawing is a complex skill that develops during childhood and requires the combination of motor, perceptual, and cognitive components (Laszlo & Broderick, 1985). Children have to learn to handle writing/drawing implements, and this is some- thing that many of them find difficult (Connolly & Dagleish, 1989). Previous studies have shown that there is considerable variability in the manner in which children hold pens and pencils (see, for example, Blöte, Zielstra, & Zoetewey, 1987; Braswell, Rosengren, & Pierroutsakos, 2007; Connolly &
  • 32. Dagleish, 1989), and this affects the quality of their graphic production (Braswell et al., 2007; Martlew, 1992). As iPads allow for finger drawing, and are now making inroads into schools, it is worth testing whether their ease of use and immediacy actually improve the quality of drawings produced in an educational context. To that end, we adopted a within-participants design in which we compared drawings of a familiar object produced by elementary schoolchildren with pen on paper (standard condition) and fingertip on screen (iPad condition). Based on the hypothesis that finger drawing on an iPad screen enhances the quality of the resulting production because it bypasses the difficulties involved in handling a pen, we predicted that drawing quality would differ between conditions, with children scoring higher in the iPad condition than in the standard one. METHOD
  • 33. Participants Forty-six children from kindergarten (5-6 years, n = 22, mean age = 5 years 7 months, SD = 4 months, 11 boys) and Grade 2 (7-8 years, n = 24, mean age = 7 years 6 months, SD = 4 months, 13 boys) took part in the study. These two different age groups were chosen because they contained children with different levels of drawing practice and formal learning of writing. All the children attended state elementary schools in France. None of them had been diagnosed with a learning disability or a special educational need. According to their teachers, the children had never used an iPad at school prior to the study. Materials The materials consisted of an Apple iPad Version 1, sheets of white paper, and a black felt-tip pen. The sheets of paper measured the same size as the iPad’s drawing surface (14.5 × 16 cm), and both were presented in a portrait
  • 34. format for the drawing task. The black felt-tip pen was chosen because it pro- duced lines of approximately the same thickness (2 mm) as the electronic black felt-tip pen of the Drawing Pad app. iPADS IN THE CLASSROOM? / 205 Procedure We set up a drawing workshop in a corner of the children’s classroom, with an iPad placed flat on a large table next to a sheet of paper and a pen. Two chairs were put in front of the large table, so that the children could sit either in front of the iPad or in front of the standard drawing material. The children were invited one at a time to come to the drawing workshop and produce “the best drawing of a house you can,” using each medium in turn. A house was selected as the subject of the drawing because it is a very familiar one for children, and is
  • 35. sufficiently straightforward for children as young as 5 years to produce, using their well-established graphic routines (see Picard & Vinter, 2005). In the standard condition, children used their dominant hand to draw with the pen on the paper. In the iPad condition, they drew with the tip of the index finger of their domi- nant hand. The resulting drawings were saved in electronic files for subsequent analysis. It should be noted that the children were not allowed to use an eraser in either drawing condition. The order in which the house drawings were produced in the iPad and standard conditions was counterbalanced across participants in each age group. The iPad condition was preceded by a short familiarization phase, during which each child was shown how to draw lines (horizontal, vertical, and oblique) and simple geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle, cross) using his/her index finger on the touch screen. This phase, lasting no more than
  • 36. 2 minutes, allowed the children to feel comfortable using the iPad’s drawing app. In each condition, the children were given a maximum of 10 minutes to produce their drawing. Coding A total of 92 individual paper and electronic drawings were collected for analysis. The quality of these drawings was assessed on a standardized graphic scale yielding an overall graphic score (Barrouillet, Fayol, & Chevrot, 1994). This scale includes 21 items (see Table 1), each scored 1 point if it is present in the drawing, except for Item 21, which is scored 2 points. A maximum score of 22 points could thus be obtained on the scale. The coding of the drawings was performed by two judges working independently. Interjudge reliability was high (> 98%), and the handful of disagreements that arose (1.08%) were settled by discussion prior to the data analysis. Individual graphic scores on the house-
  • 37. drawing scale were used as the dependent variable. RESULTS For both drawing conditions, the data were checked for skewness (standard: S = –.03; iPad: S = –.35) and kurtosis (standard: K = .05; iPad: K = .28), which were both within the normal range, and Levene’s test was run, F(1, 90) = .80, p = .37, indicating the suitability of using an analysis of variance (ANOVA).

ANOVA was run on the graphic scores, with drawing condition (2) as a within- participants variable, and sex (2), age group (2), and order (2) as between- participants variables. We set an alpha level of .05 for all statistical analyses. The ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of drawing condition, F(1, 38) = 14.35, p = .001, �2p = .27, with higher scores in the standard drawing condition (M = 11.04, SD = 2.49) than in the iPad one (M = 9.67, SD = 2.93). There was no other significant main or interaction effect (all ps > .05). A closer look at the data indicated that, out of the 46 children, 27 (59%) scored higher in the standard condition, 14 (30%) achieved similar scores in both conditions, and just 5 (11%)
  • 44. scored higher in the iPad condition. It should be noted that, despite the lower scores in the iPad condition, the children’s graphic scores were generally within the normal range for their age in both conditions. We decided to take a closer look at the data in order to determine which aspects of the drawings deteriorated when the children drew with their fingers on the iPad. To that end, we examined the occurrence of each item in each of the two drawing conditions (see Table 1), using McNemar tests to look for significant changes between the standard and iPad conditions. Significant changes were found for the following five items: Item 3 (roof shape), �2(1) = 4.17, p < .05; Item 7 (door handle), �2(1) = 4.90, p < .05; Item 14 (window proportions), �2(1) = 5.06, p < .05; Item 15 (window alignment), �2(1) = 5.06, p < .05; and Item 17 (shutters), �2(1) = 5.14, p < .05. As can be seen in Table 1, all these items were produced less frequently in the iPad condition.1 The
  • 45. lower graphic scores in the iPad condition were thus due to deterioration in the shape of the roof, the proportions and spatial alignment of the windows, and to the loss of some accessory features (i.e., door handle, window shutters) (see illustration in Figure 1). DISCUSSION This study was designed to examine the ease of use and immediacy of iPads for drawing in an educational context. We were interested in testing whether iPads constitute a useful medium for drawing activities at elementary school, by virtue of the fact that they allow children to draw with their fingers, thus obviating the need to handle a pen. Contrary to our main hypothesis, we found a slight but significant decrease in graphic scores in the iPad (finger drawing) condition, 208 / PICARD, MARTIN AND TSAO 1 It should be noted that several items on Barrouillet et al.’s
  • 46. scale were interdependent (e.g., Item 3 (roof shape) is contingent upon Item 2 (roof); Item 7 (door handle) depends on Item 6 (door), etc.). Each of the items for which we detected a significant change in the children’s productions between drawing conditions (Items 3, 7, 14, 15, and 17) was dependent on items where no significant change was found (roof for Item 3; door for Item 7; window, two windows, or two or more windows for Items 14, 15, and 17). Thus, despite the inter-dependence of some items, the results yielded by the McNemar tests were not interpretatively ambiguous. iPADS IN THE CLASSROOM? / 209 F ig u re 1 . H
  • 51. c o n d it io n ). compared with the standard (paper/pen drawing) condition. The finding that drawings produced on iPads were inferior to those produced with paper/pen contrasts with results from studies comparing children’s drawings produced with tablet computers versus traditional media (e.g., Couse & Chen, 2010; Martin & Ravenstein, 2006; Martin & Velay, 2012; Matthews & Jessel, 1993; Matthews & Seow, 2007; Olsen, 1992; Trepanier-Street, Hong, & Bauer, 2001). These studies either reported a positive impact of technology on drawing quality (Couse & Chen, 2010; Martin & Velay, 2012; Matthews & Seow, 2007; Olsen,
  • 52. 1992; Trepanier- Street et al., 2001), or else a nonsignificant difference between drawing conditions (Martin & Ravenstein, 2006; Matthews & Jessel, 1993). It is worth noting, however, that the children in these studies were provided with a stylus to draw on the computer, whereas in our study they had to draw with their fingertip on a tablet. One explanation for the present findings is that despite motor equivalence (similarity in stroke production across many contexts; see Bernstein, 1967; Lashley, 1930), there are a number of fundamental differences between drawing with a pen on a page and drawing with a fingertip on a flat screen, starting with the muscles that subserve the actions. Whereas pen trajectory is mostly controlled by distal joints and flexion/extension of the fingers, finger drawing may call for the involvement of proximal joints (elbow, shoulder) in motor control. The shift from distal to more proximal control of finger movements may
  • 53. have accounted for the poorer graphic performance observed in finger drawing. Then again, the participants in our study had not had any prior practice with iPads at school, and were not given the opportunity to learn or improve, as they only produced a single finger drawing on the iPad, and did not receive any feedback. It is, therefore, possible that our negative findings partly stemmed from insufficient training in the finger drawing technique. Future research could focus on learning to draw with tablets in the classroom, in order to test the effectiveness of iPads versus paper/pen in helping typically developing children to learn to draw not just simple, but also more complex objects. This approach could then be extended to children with disabilities or special educational needs, such as those with Down syndrome. These children often encounter difficulties in fine motor skills, and are particularly delayed

It would be worthwhile assessing the usability of iPads and the finger drawing technique for supporting learning to draw in this special population.
