What is Calibrate

Overcoming Fieldwork Challenges in Social Science and Higher Education Research
Calibration is a short process that helps to initiate the Ozobot’s code and line-reading accuracy. For example, a button on the bot is pushed and held, when the bot’s light flashes white, the bot is set on a black dot. When the light on the bot flashes green and it moves a short distance, it has been calibrated and is ready for use.

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-5826-3.ch001
Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe issues with conducting field studies on technology use in elementary schools. The chapter first provides a brief overview of the study that was conducted with two teachers and their 46 second grade students, and then it presents some of the challenges that the researchers faced. These challenges include everything from securing permissions and scheduling to having sufficient personpower to collect all the data and using technology both in the study and as a topic of study. Solutions for future research are included, along with implications for all stakeholders.
