q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Ethnographic case study evidence from the mariners' course: introductions on day one surfaced that participants' main intentions were chart competency and passing the certification exam, as one put it, "my goal is to get that certificate and by achieving that certificate I hope that I'd be a Second Mate."

"The praxis allowed participants from early on in the course to become conscious of their shared object/motive, namely obtaining competency in working with marine charts and passing the certification exam."
