Abstract

Using mediation analyses, this study analyzes PISA 2015 scientific literacy computerized assessment data collected from students in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, and examines the relationship between students' familiarity with information and communications technology and educational equity. The study also offers recommendations based on the results while providing empirical support for reducing digital educational inequities as well as differences in academic literacy performance between students of different socioeconomic and cultural statuses.
