The Learning team wanted to observe how teachers would use the beta Social Studies module in the classroom and learn what resonated and what could be improved or eliminated.

Teachers were required to plan and instruct using the Social Studies American Revolution module. The diary study methodology was used to collect qualitative data about user behaviors, activities, and experiences over a 5-month period.

Dscout was the tool used to conduct diary/field studies.
• Initial interviews
• Onboarding teachers to Dscout
• Diary study timeline
• Diary study questionnaires
• Access to the Module on the Education platform
• Post-study Interviews

• Specific teachers that use the HMH Into Social Studies product.
• N=7

"I love all of the elements of Spark Your Learning!! It's so great how it starts with reviewing content, then connecting to the student's lives, and then reviewing vocabulary and important events. It's laid out in a visually appealing way as well.”

• Recruiting
• Planning and Preparation
• Onboarding Participants
• Communicating and tracking teacher progress
• Post-study Interviews
• Analysis
• Deliver report

• Teachers provided an in-depth look into how they plan and use the HMH resources.
