Introduction

The clip below describes the main features of the IRML:

This lesson plan has been developed by members of the Interactive Research Methods Lab's team in collaboration with Leap Year, a nonprofit organization that is improving college success and literacy results in metro-Atlanta by recruiting first generation high school graduates to serve as second grade reading coaches through our yearlong community service and college readiness program. The aim of the lesson plan is to provide fourteen Leap Year fellows with an overview of the tools and resources available in the IRML, that could help them in the development of an inquiry culture. The LeapYear fellows are first-year college students.

This lesson plan will help the Leap Year Fellows develop a system of inquiry with a clear research plan for their research. 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.

1. This activity will help fellows 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 use the relevant literature and learn the disciplinary language (Bauer & Bennett, 2003). 2. The activity will help fellows develop their communication skills. Students improve their oral, written, and visual communication skills (Bauer & Bennett, 2003). 3. Finally, the proposed activity will promote fellows’ critical thinking.

Step 1: The IRML will be introduced to the Leap Year Fellows. A team member of the lab will describe its structure based on the nine steps proposed by Hopscotch. The functioning of the augmented reality content will also be shown. (15') Step 2: Presentation of the activity to be conducted in the lab. (5’) Step 3: The participating fellows will interact with the contents that are present in the lab, or the 360 Virtual Tour of the Interactive Research Methods Lab (see: https://irml.kennesaw.edu) with the aim of filling out the second 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 well-informed research design for their own projects. (30’) Step 4: Fellows will briefly share and discuss with the rest of the group the key elements of their research projects. (10’)
