Implication

A cluster randomized controlled trial assesses cloud-based learning's impact on cognitive development in adolescents, suggesting effective implementation conditions.

Key Points

This study aims to determine how cloud-based learning influences cognitive development among Kazakhstani adolescents and identify the necessary conditions for its effectiveness.
Cluster randomized controlled trial design with 66 classes from 18 public schools
12-week intervention involving Informatics instruction with cloud-based learning
Cognitive outcomes measured using performance tasks and validated questionnaires
Statistical analysis using ANCOVA and structural equation modeling to examine between-group differences and hypothesized mechanisms.
Statistically significant overall cognitive gains at posttest (Hedges’ g = 0.21), increasing to g = 0.28 at delayed follow-up (p = 0.025)
Largest improvements in computational thinking (g = 0.31) and algorithmic problem solving (g = 0.25)
Significant gains in logical-analytical reasoning (g = 0.20) and metacognitive strategies (g = 0.24)
SEM showed high explained variance for cognitive abilities (R^2 = 0.664) and skills (R^2 = 0.647) with predominantly indirect effects.
