Description
This poster will focus on a proposal for the Ocean Discovery Institute(ODI), an organization that teaches marine science to underserved urban schools in San Diego. Essentially, this proposal will outline potential changes to curriculum and teaching styles that will positively impact learning achievement for students. To accomplish this, findings from journal articles on how to improve academic performance in schoolchildren will be collected and analyzed. All findings that would be applicable to ODI will be used in the proposal. This study found that the use of augmented reality(AR) systems and increased amounts of hands-on learning experiences, mainly in the form of field trips or experiments, are likely to increase learning achievement of marine science concepts. A customized AR system and a digital game will be designed for classroom use. These additions will allow for students to immerse themselves in the material and increase their learning achievement. It is also recommended that classes participate in more field trips and experiments.
