EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES IN LEARNING TECHNOLOGY AND...

This book is about the ways in which experiments can be employed in the context of research on
learning technologies and child-computer interaction (CCI). It is directed at researchers 
supporting them to employ experimental studies while increasing their quality and rigor. The
book provides a complete and comprehensive description on how to design  implement  and report
experiments  with a focus on and examples from CCI and learning technology research. The topics
covered include an introduction to CCI and learning technologies as interdisciplinary fields of
research  how to design educational interfaces and visualizations that support experimental
studies  the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of experiments  methodological decisions
in designing and conducting experiments (e.g. devising hypotheses and selecting measures)  and
the reporting of results. As well  a brief introduction on how contemporary advances in data
science  artificial intelligence  and sensor data have impacted learning technology and CCI
research is presented. The book details three important issues that a learning technology and
CCI researcher needs to be aware of: the importance of the context  ethical considerations  and
working with children. The motivation behind and emphasis of this book is helping prospective
CCI and learning technology researchers (a) to evaluate the circumstances that favor (or do not
favor) the use of experiments  (b) to make the necessary methodological decisions about the
type and features of the experiment  (c) to design the necessary artifacts (e.g.  prototype
systems  interfaces  materials  and procedures)  (d) to operationalize and conduct experimental
procedures to minimize potential bias  and (e) to report the results of their studies for
successful dissemination in top-tier venues (such as journals and conferences). This book is an
open access publication.
