Description
The use of technology use in the classroom has become increasingly prevalent. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic it has become imperative to understand how the use of supplemental technology affects student performance in their course work. The purpose of our research project is to investigate just that. As a group we were interested in observing student thoughts and opinions about the supplemental technology that they have experienced in their own learning experience. In order to do this we sent out a 10 question multiple choice survey to select Registered Student Organization at Minnesota State University, Mankato. We collected data from 22 participants in the survey. We analyzed the responses and looked for themes and general attitudes towards supplemental technology used in the classroom. We had originally planned to conduct three focus groups as well, but due to a lack of interest in the focus groups we had to postpone them. As a group we are planning to conduct these focus groups in the fall and are looking forward to being able to compare our findings from our survey to our findings from the focus groups.
