EDUC 639 - RESEARCH PROSPECTUS
Abstract
This mix methods experimental study aims to examine the effects of augmented reality (AR) on a tablet device, and how it will increase students’ level of performance to “School of Distinction,” obtaining at least proficiency on the Algebra I end of course (EOC) assessment, and school designation in terms of performance. Pre- and post-tests will be administered to calculate the increase in growth. The qualitative aspect will conclude how AR increases students’ engagement, through teacher and student surveys. Algebra I students from three different school districts located in the rural northwestern part of North Carolina will participate in the three month research process.
Keywords: Algebra I, augmented reality (AR), mixed methods, tablet
