New Study shows current college graduates are "not falling behind in
terms of literacy when compared to graduates from earlier
generations" but
"Some are Graduating with Only Basic Skills"
While the results of this new PEW Charitable Trusts-supported
American Institutes for Research study are not encouraging, they also
do not support the belief that American college students' literacy
and numeracy skills are lower now than they were. So, technology
appears -- at least on the surface -- to not have made much
difference to the literacy and numeracy skills of college students.
Of course, there may be subgroups where it has, and that would be
interesting to look at if the data can be separated this way.
