q2 i? Micro-level interaction analysis of one high-challenge group showed emotional challenges grew stronger over the task and regulation attempts ultimately failed to address them sufficiently. → Piia Näykki 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

In-depth qualitative case analysis of group three's spatial reasoning session, the group with the highest number of challenges (14 in one session) and the most regulation (five occasions, three strategy types). Five chronological episodes showed challenges accumulating and regulation attempts failing.

"The narrative shows how the emotional challenges became stronger as the group worked, and how the students' attempts to regulate the challenges ultimately failed to address them sufficiently."
