Freelance Research Assistant for Distraction Study


We are conducting a research study to explore how distractions affect students' ability to read simple English text correctly. We are seeking freelance participants to assist in this project by creating controlled distraction environments for students during their reading sessions.


Our students are college students, so we prefer candidates who are also college students or recent graduates.


We only consider profiles with completed profile photo and at least minimal information.


Job Details:

  • Role: Research Assistant for Distraction Study
  • Time Commitment: Up to 30 minutes per session


Requirements:

  1. Device #1: A computer (laptop or desktop) with a working webcam and microphone. (Note: Mobile devices or tablets will not be accepted for this purpose.)
  2. Device #2: A mobile device (iOS or Android) for app-based control of a remote distracting device.
  3. English Proficiency: Pre-Intermediate (A2+) or higher. The text used in the test is very simple, but candidates must have sufficient English skills to evaluate the quality of the student’s reading and identify errors.


Responsibilities:

  • Join a video to video call on your computer with a student participant.
  • Monitor the student as they read text displayed within the video stream.
  • Use your mobile device to control a distracting device remotely, as instructed (Full setup guidance and support will be provided.) to actively create distractions to challenge the student's focus while reading.
  • Observe the student's errors or pauses when they are distracted, correct and ask to start over if any.


Objective:

The study aims to evaluate the number of words (it will be done automatically)a student can read correctly under distraction and compare it to their performance in a normal, distraction-free setting.

If you are detail-oriented, have the required equipment, and enjoy contributing to educational research, we encourage you to apply!


Before finalizing your hiring, we will conduct a brief 2–3 minute video-to-video interview to:

  1. Verify that your devices meet the technical requirements (computer and mobile device).
  2. Assess your ability to effectively evaluate the student's reading quality from the video stream.
