According to Spivey and McMillan (2013) a study was done of the K-12 educational settings that incorporate technologies to aid that looked at how often students accessed resource materials for classes. instruction in the classroom.

Introduction The Prime Minister’s initiative on global warming, “Cool Earth 50” was announced on May 24, 2007. It includes the proposal for a long-term objective to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by half compared to the current level by 2050. It is difficult to address such a long-term objective with only conventional technologies, and so the development of innovative technologies is considered essential. At the Heiligendamm Summit in June 2007, climate change was one of the main discussion themes, and G8 leaders reached an agreement to “consider seriously the decision which includes at least a halving of global emissions by 2050” and to treat technology as “a key to mastering climate change and enhancing energy security.” Since Japan has the world’s top level technology in the field of energy, we need to strongly promote international cooperation and actively contribute to substantial global emissions reductions while reinforcing and maintaining our competitiveness.

The basic conceptual tool used to measure skill demands was the skill profile, a study of the distribution of total manhours required to produce a unit product (or service) along a scale of the Least to the most highly skilled labor. The study found that there was little or no net overall tendency for the mean skill level of the workforce to increase with technological change. Small changes in mean skill were largely offset by larger overall productivity increases, and thus, decreases in absolute demand measured in manhours per unit of production for specific skill brackets were more prevalent than increases. Declines in absolute labor demand were greatest for semiskilled workers and the next greatest declines were for laborers.

The scope and quality of American research, the ability to commercialize research results and the entrepreneurial spirit are some reasons for this. Against this background the Swedish government commissioned the Institute for Growth Policy Studies (ITPS) to undertake a study on the science system and policies in the United States. The ITPS Office at the Swedish Embassy in Washington D.C. was assigned to conduct the study. The results of the project will serve as an input to the next Bill on Research that will be presented to the Swedish Parliament 2004–2005. The results are presented in this report and three others*. This study covers federal and academic technology transfer in the United States. It includes university-industry relationships, licensing and patent activities, business incubators, funding of technology transfer, intellectual property policy, entrepreneurship and education, small business policy and other government initiatives relevant for the transfer of technology.
