Title
Students' use of mobile technology to collect data in guided inquiry on field trips
Abstract
This study was conducted during a two-week summer science camp that included two field trips to a local river and to a botanical garden. During the camp period, fifth and sixth graders learned about water quality in the class, collected data using Zydeco (a mobile-based inquiry learning system) on field trips, and reviewed data in the classroom. This paper is aimed to discuss how students make decision to capture multimedia data (video, audio, photo) and metadata (tag) on the Zydeco system to answer their driving question, and to explore students' perspectives on this type of guided inquiry learning with the use of the supportive mobile-based program.
