Title: Exploring Educational Experiences of Second-Generation Immigrants**

Introduction:

My interest in learning and educational technology centres on understanding the educational

experiences of second-generation immigrants. This group represents a unique intersection of
cultural diversity and the evolving landscape of educational technology. The goal is to
investigate how learning sciences and educational technology can enhance the educational
outcomes and experiences of second-generation immigrants.

Relevance to Learning Sciences and Educational Technology:

This study is crucial as global migration increases, resulting in diverse student populations.
Exploring the needs and challenges of second-generation immigrants can inform the
development of inclusive educational technologies and pedagogical approaches. Technology's
integral role in education necessitates systematic exploration of its impact on diverse learner
groups.

Contribution to the Field:

This research contributes significantly by addressing the gap in literature regarding the
educational experiences of second-generation immigrants within learning sciences and
educational technology. Insights gained can inform the creation of culturally sensitive
educational technologies and instructional strategies, fostering an inclusive learning
environment.

Research Questions:

 How do second-generation immigrants perceive and engage with educational

technology compared to their peers?
  What cultural and linguistic factors influence the educational experiences of second-
generation immigrants in the digital learning environment?
 How can educational technology be tailored to meet the diverse needs of second-
generation immigrants, promoting their academic success?

Theoretical Framework:

The research will be grounded in socio-cultural theories, exploring how cultural

background and social interactions influence learning experiences.

Conclusion:

This proposal outlines my interest in studying the educational experiences of second-

generation immigrants through learning sciences and educational technology. By addressing
research questions, utilizing relevant theoretical frameworks, and employing a robust
methodology, this study aims to contribute to the field of education, promoting educational
equity and supporting the academic success of culturally diverse learners.
