Introduction

The clip below describes the main features of the IRML:

This lesson plan has been co-developed between the Interactive Research Methods Lab's team and Drs. Arash Soleimani and Edwin Akins (Kennesaw State University). The aim of the lesson plan is to assist students taking ARCH 4117 in the development of the research designs for their theses. The proposed activities within the lesson plan are in alignment with Kennesaw State Office of Undergraduate Research definition of Undergraduate Research: “An inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline.” (see: http://www.cur.org/about.html)

This lesson plan will help undergraduate students taking ARCH 4117 to reach a deep understanding of the key elements that should be included in a well-informed research design. To do so, this unit will help them become familiar with the nine steps proposed by the Hopscotch Model (Jorrín-Abellán, 2016, 2019) to develop sound research designs. To facilitate the process, students will be provided with an example of the nine steps extracted from a published thesis (Samaniego, 2020) that will be checked prior to the session in the Interactive Research Methods Lab.

1. This activity will help students taking ARCH 4117 develop their research skills. These include logic, and problem-solving skills (Bauer & Bennett, 2003) and experimental skills like design, data collection, data analysis, understanding of limitations, and research ethics (John & Creighton, 2012; Russell, Hancock, & McCullough, 2007). Students also learn how to seek out and consume the relevant literature and learn the disciplinary language (Bauer & Bennett, 2003). 2. The activity will help students develop their communication skills. Students improve their oral, written, and visual communication skills (Bauer & Bennett, 2003). 3. Finally, the proposed activity will promote students’ critical thinking.

Step 1: Prior to the face-to-face session in the IRML, students will be asked to check the following: • Samaniego, J. A. "The [Hydro-Gen] Cell_ A Hydroponic, Regenerative, Modular System for Optimized Vertical Farming" (2020). Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year. 127. https://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/barch_etd/127• Appendix A of this lesson Plan Step 2: The IRML will be introduced to students. A team member of the lab will describe its structure based on the nine steps proposed by Hopscotch. The functioning of the augmented reality contents will also be shown. (15') Step 3: Presentation of the activity to be conducted in the lab. (5’ ) Step 4: The participating students will interact with the augmented multimedia contents present in the lab, the ones included in the 360 Virtual Tour of the Interactive Research Methods Lab (see: https://irml.kennesaw.edu), or Hopscotch (see: https://hopscotchmodel.com). In this stage, students will have to fill out the third column of the table included in Appendix A, by describing in their own words the key elements that need to be considered to generate a solid research design for their thesis. To do so, students will be able to check the second column, in which the research design used in the previously read article has been unpacked (Samaniego, 2020) (40’) Step 5: A group discussion will be held in order to reflect upon the decisions made in the previous step (third column of appendix A). (30’ )
