The BRIDGE project explores how digital inequalities in education are shaped by families’ access to digital cultural capital. Moving beyond the question of device availability, it examines how home environments, classroom dynamics, and teaching practices influence learning opportunities.
Over 24 months, BRIDGE will engage 3,000 students and 100 teachers across 12 school clusters, testing whether innovative pedagogies can effectively narrow digital divides. Using a mixed-methods design, it combines surveys, digital skills assessments, interviews, and classroom observations to provide a multidimensional understanding of inclusion in digital education.
The project compares standard, culturally responsive, and critical pedagogies through a randomized controlled trial, generating robust evidence on what works to promote equality. Its outcomes include tools for assessing digital engagement at home and in school, as well as evidence-based teaching guides designed to strengthen family participation and reduce digital skill gaps.
