q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Qualitative analysis of children's narratives from the 20-minute Classroom Discussion Forums led by a trained researcher after the EEQ. Children recalled the game, identified the differing rules, and expressed in-group views such as "The red team cheated".

"This learning only occurred with the inclusion of the classroom discussion forum, where the lessons of MIXER were discussed and reinforced by teacher led discussions."
