Bringing School Science to Life: Personalization, Contextualization and Reflection of Self-Collected Data

Abstract: We investigate the use of mobile and sensor technologies for school science investigations, to bring about a more engaging and hands-on approach to science learning. We report early findings from two trials carried out within the Participate project, where schoolchildren were given a range of off the shelf and newly developed technologies to carry out data collection and analysis tasks. Indications are that, not only are the tasks engaging for the pupils, but aspects such as personalization of data, contextual… Show more

“…In summary, previous studies have noted the importance of evaluating second-hand data when creating explanations (Duschl et al, 2007;NRC, 2012;Osborne, 2010), and several studies have supported the use of second-hand data by providing existing data sets (Gordin et al, 1994;Hug & McNeill, 2008;Sandoval & Reiser, 2004) or enabling data sharing (Kuhn et al, 2012;Songer, 2006;Woodgate et al, 2008). After examining how students personalize data, Woodgate et al (2008) underlined the importance of investigating students' use of second-hand data.…”

“…Data that students collect on their own is more contextualized and learners see value in the work they are doing (Gordin, Polman, & Pea, 1994;Rivet & Krajcik, 2008;Tal, Krajcik, & Blumenfeld, 2006;Woodgate et al, 2008). When students are involved in the data collection process, this increases their involvement in the work they are doing.…”
