Update for Step 4:
I have been following the goals I have set and completing the learning activities I have created in order to address the questions I made in step 3. This past week, I spent time discussing with peers how remote learning impact student motivation across different subjects and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I asked them questions like during our discussion like:
- Are there any differences in how isolated learning affects students with different subjects?
- How does socio or economic differences affect students motivation in remote learning?
Reflecting on my peer’s responses is helping me identify patterns in people’s experience with online courses and what factors influence motivation. My goal is to better understand the psychological side of these differences.
I have 2 activities/projects planned to help me address the questions in step 3. I will be making an infographic on the cognitive effects of learning in isolation. I will be looking for 2-3 case studies that compare remote vs. in person learning to help me see the differences between ages. For the second activity I plan on exploring three different online tools like bright space, zoom, and google classroom, for 15 minutes each and then writing a short journal reflection after each experience. I will then rank them from most to least effective for supporting motivation.
