Why We Print & Play – The HP New Asian Learning Experience Study
With the need to spend more time at home, parents are on the lookout for exercises that can stimulate a childโs mind and invoke a greater love for learning.
HPโs New Asian Learning Experience Study identifies millennial parentsโ attitudes towards learning and how their personalities impact the way their children learn. Our study shows that while print and digital each have their own strengths, a combination of digital and print was most beneficial in helping children stay focused and engaged while they learn.
Parents in the Philippines said that printed materials were better used for activities related to art (61%), math (60%), and memorization (50%), whereas electronic materials better facilitated learning in music or auditory skills (60%).
HP Print & Play was created from a need to help parents bridge the gap between education in school and learning at home by supplementing their childโs learning while making playtime at home more engaging.
Parents can refer to the study findings to understand how to best use different formats to facilitate positive learning outcomes without taking the joy out of learning.
