q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative interaction-analysis case study of 17 families using the Time Explorers MAR app at the Children's Garden; the Sandstone Boulders vignette (Lisa and Zoe) shows the "observation prompts in the app" led to tactile and visual geoscientific observation of erosion and deposition. No effect sizes are reported in this qualitative analysis.

"The sensory immersion that was encouraged by the observation prompts in the app encouraged Lisa and Zoe to engage in geoscientific observation of the sandstone boulders as they found evidence of erosion, deposition, and change over time."
