3. Goal of this template Plan a systematic research study based on your Idea Proposal Assignment. This template will help you ensure that there is a logical flow before you start executing your study. 2 INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

4. What you have done so far You have already described your idea in Pre-Workshop Assignment and the Idea Proposal Assignment. You have done a preliminary literature survey in the Idea Proposal Assignment to identify prior work. You have made an attempt to describe the procedure of your study to gather evidence for your idea. So far you have mostly used informal language, and 'thoughts' and 'feelings'. This was okay till now. Now, you need to add more details to your study and make it more precise. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

9. I. Setup the problem INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

10. Why setup the problem? Recall Feb 2 – Novelty and Positioning You may have done some work. Merely describing it is not sufficient to make it into a research article. If you do not sell your problem well, the referee will not buy your solution. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

11. 1. What is the problem you are addressing? Instructions: Briefly describe the problem you are addressing. Illustrate the problem with an example. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

12. 1. What is the problem you are addressing? INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

13. 1. What is mental rotation (MR)? Illustrate MR with an example o Show who needs (uses) MR ability and for what purpose. Attempt examples from different areas. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

14. 2. Why is your problem important? Instructions: In this slide write about “who requires your work”. Justify from literature, not just your “feelings”. See examples of published research studies shown in the slides of Session 1 on Feb 2. Note the call-outs that say : Importance of Problem. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

15. 2. Why is your problem important? INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

16. 2. Why is MR ability important? 1) Who requires such abilities? For example, students of engineering drawing, and developers of 3D animations. 2) Why is it important to teach MR ability? For example, the skill cannot be automatically acquired, previous work has shown that many students do not have the skill. [**] INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

17. 3a. What prior work has been done? Instructions: You have already some work related to identifying prior work for your idea in your Idea Proposal Assignment. Recall, the questions you had answered: What are traditional ways to solve the problem? Is there a theoretical basis to solve the problem using my strategy (for example a learning theory basis)? What techniques have been tried empirically to solve the problem? Now you have to: Look for more related prior work Position your work more precisely and give detailed answers to the above questions. INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

18. 3a. What prior work has been done? INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

19. 3a. What are traditional ways to acquire and improve MR ability? What references are available to establish that MR ability can be acquired and improved? What sort of courses are there to acquire MR? What is done to “improve” MR ability? INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

20. 3b. Analyze prior related work Instructions: You have already done some of this in answering Q5 in the Idea Planning Assignment. Now you have to add more details - more papers as well as more questions to analyze the papers. For example, add a question comparing the results of different papers. Make sure you report both positive and negative results. Add your analysis on why these differences might exist. Convert the existing question of “What does instructor do” into several questions: What is the setting (eg in-class or Moodle), What is the sample (what type of students), what is the instruction method (eg physical or computer-based), what is the duration of the treatment, and so on.

21. 3b. Analyze prior related work INTER DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM in EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, IIT BOMBAY

22. 3b. Analyze prior work on acquiring and improving MR ability DimensionWhat is done in Paper 1 (Jianping Yue) What is done in Paper 2 ( Khairul Anuar Samsudin & Azniah Ismail) What is done in Paper 3 (Khairulanuar, Ahmad Rafi, Abd Samad Hanif) Idea for my paper What exact problem(s) is being addressed To investigate the impact of replacing isometric drawings with more realistic 3D views in spatial visualization tests. The purpose of was to examine the effectiveness of using novel method of training namely the Computer-Based Multimedia Tutor (CBMT) in enhancing the MR, compared to conventional instructional approach. Reported findings of computerized Mental rotation (MR) and spatial visualization (SV) training outcomes and their impact on orthographic drawing performance. Improvement of spatial abilities using CBT Training transfer to the subject What the instructor doesProviding conventional and Computer Based Training (CBT) for: Purdue Spatial Visualization Test (Visualization by Rotations (PSVT-R) in isometric drawings), Giving students CBMT for 5 weeks, with 1.5hrs weekly. Giving students CBT for 8 weeks, with 2 hrs weekly Duration of the training is single 3- hour session Selection of visualization test What the students do Students divided in following groups: graphics classes, CAD classes, high school students, and a comparison group Students took both the PSVTR test. Students divided into Control & experimental group. Students took the pretest 5 weeks CBMT & then Posttest Students divided in 2 experimental groups and a control group. The first experimental group trained in an interaction-enabled condition, the second experimental group trained in an animation-enhanced condition and the control group trained using printed materials. Students took the Pretest; Training ; Posttest Selection of appropriate sample for the study. Designing specific training activities What educational theory is the strategy in the paper based on Integration of Computer based training Use of visualization which is realistic in nature In order to assess accurately students’ spatial visualization abilities as exercised day-to-day in the workplace, it is necessary to replace isometric drawings with more realistic pictorial views in spatial visualization tests. Integration of Computer based training Technology based training (CBT) Selection of appropriate training method, mainly CBT. What evidence is collected - give examples Test scores: In this study, all groups of students showed better performance on the spatial visualization test with realistic 3D views than on the conventional isometric visualization test. Pre-test & post-test scores of both groups. Accuracy and response time for the MR test. Pre-test & post-test scores of all three groups. Pretest / posttest scores are useful for quantitative data analysis How to get insight of students’ thinking process when they undergo training and solve the tests?

23. 4. What are the gaps in prior work? Instructions You have tried to identify gaps in your Idea Proposal Assignment. After working on the previous two slides, you have found more prior work and analyzed it in more detail. Now you need to bring out the gaps more strongly. Answer:  What are the problems in existing solutions?  Is there any gap which current solutions do not address?  How do you think your work can address the problems or gaps in existing work? Your answer must aim to meet the ‘Better’ criterion in the slide on ‘Explain the relation to other work’ (See slide in Session 3, Feb 2, repeated Session 4, Feb 9.
