11 - Report: Evaluating Agile and VR/XR Teaching Pilots

Welcome to the "Report: Evaluating Agile and VR/XR Teaching Pilots," a comprehensive assessment of the innovative "Augmented Agile Teamwork for Hybrid Learning at Schools” (AgileXR) project. Funded by Erasmus+ and aimed at European secondary schools, this report delves into the project's fourth result - the pilot and impact evaluation.

Key overview of the report:

• Project Introduction AgileXR’s mission, its duration, and funding details.

• Target Audience: Focus on European secondary schools.

• Objective of Project Result 4: To evaluate the impact and glean lessons from AgileXR’s pilot teaching experiences.

• Theoretical Framework: Insight into agile learning and XR technology in education, their applications, benefits, and challenges.

• Pilot Teaching Experiences: Detailed analysis from various European institutions including RHIZO (Belgium), CollectiveUp (Belgium), Metropolia University (Finland), and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (Spain).

The report presents a methodical approach, involving participants, materials, data analysis, and procedures used in the study. It offers a comprehensive view of both student and teacher perspectives, focusing on engagement, motivation, teamwork, the use of technology in learning, and the agile mindset. Teachers’ insights on these variables are also thoroughly discussed.

Finally, the report concludes with educational implications, guiding future applications of Agile and VR/XR in teaching. Appendices provide additional resources, including pilot evaluation questionnaires for students and teachers.
