Session description

This study is situated within a small body of research on smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa and their use in the classroom. Explore how these devices can be used to support students' literacy, math and information literacy.

Framework

My study is qualitative (Johnson & Christensen, 2016). Post-structuralism addresses how language reinforces power in the classroom (Sharma, 2020), via the teacher, and now technology such as smart speakers. Sociomateralism is used to analyse how students make enquiries of smart speakers in their classroom. Smart speaker usefulness and usability will be studied, along with other factors of smart speaker design and the classroom environment, which students and teachers will identify as influencing student use. Sociomaterial theory is suitable for studying the complex and interdependent nature of classroom and technology factors (Fenwick, 2010).

Post-structuralism
Post-structuralism builds on structuralism (Youdell, 2006). Structuralism is a theory of thought which explains phenomena as a set of structured, rigid but interconnected relationships (Deleuze, 2002, p.170). This approach was useful for studying how actors like students interacted with other actors and materials in education, for example teachers and textbooks. Structuralism defines subjects (actors) as being recognisable by subjectivations such as class, gender, race, academic ability. In structuralist theory these subjectivations are fixed, for example being female has a fixed way in which it influences a student’s engagement with new technologies in the classroom (Youdell, 2006). Post-structuralism builds on structuralist theory. Applying a post-structuralist approach, subjectivations are not assumed, can be unique to a specific circumstance or actor, and change over space and time. Post-structuralist theory seeks to observe and explain such ‘biographical factors’ (Youdell, 2006, p.6) in a specific individual.

The structuralist theory would define each classroom as having the same characteristics, in this post-structural study all classrooms are different. This representation of the school as “...an institution and a set of social practices” (Lee, 1993, p.1) seeks to explain the complexity of the environment. Students should have subjectivations so that they are recognisable (Butler, 2021) and can be compared for theme identification. Subjectivations should be done sparingly, and not given unsupported meaning. For example, noting that a male student enjoys joking with an smart speaker (Butler, 2021) does not suggest anything about an individual male student's work ethic or relationship with human teachers. Similarly, A music teacher who is confident using an Alexa speaker at home will not always want to use one in their classroom (Dousay and Hall, 2018). Students are unique and complex (Butler, 2021).

Sociomaterial theory
Sociomaterial theory is a way of observing post-structuralism using a grounded approach (Law, 2004). Sociomaterial theory explores the relationship between people (actors) and things (materials) in their environment (Fenwick, 2010). Materials can be technologies, organisations, objects and environments (Fenwick & Dahlgreen, 2015). Actors use and interpret materials such as texts, symbols, meanings, and intentions (Fenwick & Dahlgreen, 2015). Actors and materials are given equal importance in explaining an event or change (Fenwick, 2010). A socio-material approach can be used to explore the many interactions between social systems and digital technologies (Fenwick, 2012).

A sociomaterial definition of classroom education
This research focuses on student use of smart speakers when they are in their classroom. In New Zealand classroom and local school curricula are written and are unique to each school. These are informed by the New Zealand Curriculum but the classroom curriculum, what is being taught, is what student’s interact with in the classroom. The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) provides the Vision that local curricula, and the activities in classroom’s following them will result in “young people who will be confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners.” (Ministry of Education, 2007, page 7). That definition of classroom education is used in this proposal, and will be replaced by the definition expressed in the participating school(s) local curricula.

Methods

Case Study
A case study is an entity, or “functioning specific” (Stake, 2008, pp.119-120) with identified boundaries which can be individually examined (Stake, 2008). In my study a case is a classroom. The unit analysis of the study is a student, and a classroom is a group of students who experience the same material classroom environment, although how they experience the classroom is individual. As the classroom environment influences students' access to and use of materials it is the natural place to study the student.

Case definition
Four classrooms were selected to participate. Participants are students (n= 163) and teachers (n=4). The-two primary schools participating are mainstream, English-medium schools. The cases are unique, having unique actors, for example the classroom teacher, and unique materials such as the classroom curriculum. A range of primary school year levels (from years 2-8) are included in the study.

Case selection
A self-nomination form collected basic information and asked teachers if they could commit to the duration and activities of my study. I used purposive sampling (Johnson & Christensen, 2016) choosing cases which werelikely to provide sufficient data. The convenience of location was a factor in case selection to enable regular visits to the classroom. While I acknowledge this sampling method likely recruited classes with teachers who are enthusiastic about the smart speakers it was made clear in the recruitment that neither students nor teachers need prior knowledge or interest.

Data collection
Data is being collected from multiple sources including observations, smart speaker logs, student focus groups and teacher interviews (Table 5). Data from observations and IDA logs was helpful as I prepared for the student focus groups and teacher interviews which were all be semi-structured.

The data collection is deliberately open. An inductive approach allows me to study all materials which influence students' use, rather than only focussing on those in the existing literature. The focus groups allowed students to talk about their experiences of use in their own language. The data collected and analysed by inductive coding, treats all smart speakers, actors and other materials as having equal potential to influence students' use, consistent with the sociomaterial theory applied to this study.

Data Analysis

Coding
Case study data will be coded to emerging themes as they are identified (Johnson & Christensen, 2016). These themes will explore how different materials and actors influence students’ use of smart speakers. Thematic analysis will explore common themes. An inductive approach will be used, with the data guiding the formation of axial codes, where themes and hierarchies are being identified to help explain the observed phenomena (Braun & Clarke, 2019). Data is being stored and analysed in NVivo, which is specifically built for coding and organising large amounts of text-based qualitative data such as smart speaker and interview transcripts. As a starting point, the themes of studies included in the literature review have been identified and three potential top-level themes (classroom environment, algorithm, and design) have been identified in the research questions.

Once all case study data is collected and initially coded, cross-case analysis will be performed, looking for similarities and differences (Stake, 1995). Reviewing the whole data set I will identify any co-occurring codes and selective coding will take place. I will be familiar with the data set, in parts and as a whole, before I remove or merge any coding which may, on deeper understanding, be different and important.

Cross case analysis
In reflective thematic analysis a theme is a recurring idea in the data (Clarke et al, 2019). This method is used as it constructs themes based on the data provided by the students, rather than discovering themes perceived to have existed and be found. As the primary case (Stake, 1995) each classroom will first be considered individually (within-case analysis). Case study analysis will be presented as findings and discussion using reflexive thematic analysis to group like ideas and explore commonalities. An inductive approach will be used, with the data guiding the formation of axial codes, where themes and hierarchies will be identified to help explain the observed theme. Abductive reasoning will be used to make best predictions and conclusions based on the data collected. Where possible the transcript and observation data will be matched with student or teacher interview data to better explain the complexities of students’ smart speaker use.

Results

Four cases had different outcomes suggesting the importance of classroom context in students' use of voice assistant. Some key findings were:
- Students found the voice assistants most reliable for spelling, mathematics, social studies and science.
- Voice assistants were less reliable for local science and social studies enquiries than general ones.
- Teacher practice influences students' use of voice assistants.
- Peer influence impacts students' use of voice assistants, especially when repairing misunderstanding.

Importance

My study will add to the discussion on student use of smart speakers in the complexity of the classroom. It is the only such study in the New Zealand primary school classroom. My study also uniquely compares three smart speakers in multi case-studies over an extended period, adding to an understanding of how use and engagement with smart speakers may change over time. My study will be useful both for educators making choices about if and how to use smart speakers in the classroom, and also inform the designers of edTech. Educators will gain a better understanding of the design and classroom environment in which smart speakers are most useful.
