“…Brandt discussed Delta Design as an example of exploratory design games that are gaining popularity to demonstrate collaboration between individuals in participatory design projects (7). Besterfield-Sacre et al used it as a testbed for observing students' performance through behavioral observation (8). Svihla et al used Delta Design to demonstrate the increasing role of distributed expertise and authenticity in the development of design expertise (9).…”

Over the past four years the authors have developed an online version of the Delta Design game, a board game which was developed by Bucciarelli (1) to teach students design collaboration skills. In the online version, players move tiles on a shared virtual board and communicate only through text chat. In addition, the objective functions are computed automatically each time a tile is moved, so the focus of the game changes from rapid number-crunching to negotiation. Since every state of the board, along with micro-level team performance and chat data, are captured, the resulting corpus from 38 four-player team games provides a rich resource to explore different aspects of collaborative team practices. This paper gives an overview of the online implementation of Delta Design and discusses the findings from user studies including several undergraduate capstone design classes. Observations of the board-moving tactics show that teams planning a strategy before starting the game or players sharing details about their role’s constraints with other team members do not have much effect on the game’s outcome. Finally, this paper demonstrates that the complex rules of the Delta Design game make it a suitable candidate for analyzing collaboration strategies in team-based design projects.

“…More specific engineering observation protocols include the VanTH Observation System (VOS) and an engineering observation protocol (EOP) (Besterfield‐Sacre, Shuman, Wolfe, Clark, & Yildirim, ; Harris & Cox, ). These two protocols are also validated for use in postsecondary contexts.…”

Development and validation of the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design (COPED)

Recent education reforms including the Next GenerationScience Standards emphasize integrating engineering into K-12 science instruction. Although prior studies have characterized engineering design (ED) in K-12 settings, no validated protocols attempt to characterize ED integration in secondary science classrooms. The present study used the ED and observation protocol literature to develop, validate, and test the reliability of the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design (COPED) instrument. Consistent with the ED literature, the COPED characterizes two components of ED: process and habits of mind. To use COPED, researchers code for ED process components, engineering habits of mind, and instructional grouping in 2-min increments. Researchers also record qualitative field notes. Post-observation, researchers include descriptions of disciplin-

“…Among the three components of the engagement construct, in the current study, a behavioural engagement is measured, as it enables a researcher to investigate outcomes 'in-action' and evaluate the individuals' ability to function in the higher level thinking of the learning domains (Besterfield-Sacre et al 2007). Behavioural engagement alone is worthy of research since behavioural engagement is associated with academic achievement and motivation (Borman & Overman 2004, Dotterer & Lowe 2011.…”

Promoting students' engagement has been of great interest to engineering educators as it is associated with better teaching and learning effectiveness. However, students' engagement is a multifaceted construct comprising the cognitive, affective, and behavioural aspect of engagements which makes it difficult to get a holistic measure of it. Thus, the behavioural engagement alone is often measured as it enables the researcher to investigate outcomes 'in-action' and evaluate the individuals' ability at high-order thinking. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of an integrated affective-cognitive teaching and learning approach on behavioural engagements. The study utilized the quasi-experimental design method with pre-and post-test. The experimental group (n = 36) was taught a course on mechanics of material using the integrated approach while the control group (n = 34) was taught the same course using the conventional method. The results indicate that the integrated affective-cognitive learning approach promotes some types of positive behavioural engagement while suppressing other types of negative engagements. Thus, it was concluded that the integrated teaching and learning approach is effective in promoting positive behavioural engagements among engineering students.
