Northwestern Educational Game Research Details
Note: Many points can change based on student and teacher interest
Activity
Students will playtest an educational game on unit conversions.
Student Benefits
They get to see what research looks like (user experience research).
They will be compensated $15-20.
They will learn more on how to set up equations to solve unit conversion problems.
More?! I'm happy to brainstorm any other ideas that you might think will benefit students!
Teacher’s Responsibility
Teachers need to give students two links that will be provided for them and that’s it!
One link is a link to permission form online and the other (which has not been made) provides students with a link to sign up for the study.
Population
20-30 students can participate in the study.
Students should be going into grades 9th-11th and should have no chemistry experience.
Timing
Sessions will be 30-60min.
Students will participate one at a time.
Students will select a time that works for them on a Calendly link.
Location
The study can take place over Zoom or in person.
If the study is done on Zoom, I'll the teacher/parent will receive a list of protocols to make sure everything is good for the student (e.g., passwords, randomized links, etc.)
Student Consent
Students need to get parent consent for participating in the study
