Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Every family used the GPS map to navigate between microsites, with children partnering in navigation. → Heather Toomey Zimmerman 2023
q2 i? In one family a 5-year-old took the iPad and successfully used the GPS map for wayfinding while his mother was occupied with his younger sibling. → Heather Toomey Zimmerman 2023

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Video-based qualitative analysis of 17 families; the article states all families navigated between microsites with the GPS map, and a 5-year-old boy "successfully used the GPS map for wayfinding" while his mother cared for a younger sibling. Qualitative finding; no effect sizes printed.
"All the families in our dataset were able to engage in the actional immersion of the wayfinding map to navigate from one microsite to the next."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Families engaged in multiple immersive processes at the same microsites, combining sense-making conversations, observational inquiry, and deep geoscience engagement. — related
- Families' geoscience sense-making during learning-on-the-move was shaped by the immersive qualities of a mobile AR app — related
- All families took photographs at each microsite as evidence of their observation, with only one family personalizing photos by including children. — related
- Sensory immersion prompted by the MAR app supported families' geoscientific talk and observation of rock features during place-based LOTM. — related
- No substantial example of emancipatory immersion was found in the family data, despite the framework including it. — related
- The integrated G4L approach combining graph-based modeling, database-driven tracking, and generative content creation successfully supported learner navigation and domain comprehension — related
