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? Families' understandings of geologic time and geoscience processes were impacted by the immersive qualities of the Time Explorers MAR app during a place-based LOTM experience. → Jacob Fortman 2023

The introduction's summary of the Zimmerman, Land, Faimon, and Chiu study of family sense-making with a mobile AR app featuring a time-travel narrative across eight micro-sites in a children's garden.
"Findings from this research illustrate how families’ understandings of geologic time and geoscience processes were impacted by the immersive qualities of Time Explorers."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Sensory immersion prompted by the MAR app supported families' geoscientific talk and observation of rock features during place-based LOTM. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Families engaged in multiple immersive processes at the same microsites, combining sense-making conversations, observational inquiry, and deep geoscience engagement. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- All families took photographs at each microsite as evidence of their observation, with only one family personalizing photos by including children. — related
- No substantial example of emancipatory immersion was found in the family data, despite the framework including it. — related
- All families in the dataset successfully used the GPS wayfinding map for actional immersion, including a 5-year-old who took over wayfinding while his mother cared for a younger sibling. — related
- Mobile apps increased timely, direct communication between parents and educators during remote schooling — related
- Teachers adopted varying levels and strategies of guidance during reflective dialogues about VR experiences, which shaped students' meaning making — related
- Virtual and in-person parent-to-parent forums deepened caregivers' sense of community and support — related
