Subclaims¶

q2 i? At many microsites, families engaged in multiple immersive processes (drawn from sensory, actional, narrative and social immersion) during LOTM; the article does not report all four co-occurring at each. → Heather Toomey Zimmerman 2023 q2 i? One ideal-use-case family's vignette was developed to illustrate intense co-occurrence of immersive processes at one microsite. → Heather Toomey Zimmerman 2023

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Interaction-analysis findings section: sensory and social immersion supported "sense-making conversations and observational inquiry" while narrative and actional immersion supported "deep family engagement with the geoscience content" during learning-on-the-move. Qualitative case-study evidence; no effect sizes.

"Findings showed that sensory and social immersion supported sense-making conversations and observational inquiry, while narrative and actional immersion supported deep family engagement with the geoscience content."

Learner Variables¶

• Home Learning Environment — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• 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
• Families' geoscience sense-making during learning-on-the-move was shaped by the immersive qualities of a mobile AR app — a broader claim this one bears on
• 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
• All families took photographs at each microsite as evidence of their observation, with only one family personalizing photos by including children. — related
