The challenge

The Technasium education concept, for secondary school students, emphasises self-regulated learning through technical projects for clients.

Students often struggle with reflection, planning, and goal setting, focusing mainly on the project work. However, these components are vital to self-regulation.

Tiles & app

PROO-gress is a project planning and reflection tool with physical tiles, an AR app, and an online platform.

Students use the tiles to plan activities and reflection moments, then scan them with the app to store their process and view planning or activity details.

Web platform

The PROO-gress platform guides students through a reflective cycle, individually or in teams, and includes feedback to close the loop.

Students can also set goals and rate activities, giving teachers insights for coaching.

Process

I interviewed 112 students and 12 teachers from various Technasium schools to define the project’s problem statement.

PROO-gress and earlier versions were tested with students and teachers to evaluate effectiveness, usability, and physical and digital interactions.
