Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In simulator-based apprenticeship, roles taken on by students serve as resources for meaning making, and the interactionally achieved activity context is an ephemeral emergent that can collapse when required roles or artifacts are missing. → Gerry Stahl 2013

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
Hontvedt and Arnseth's community-of-practice case study of Norwegian sailor apprentices role-playing navigation with a master pilot, who insists on English while trainees slip into Norwegian to reflect, marking the duality of their realities. Participants co-create the learning context interactionally.
"The interactional resources of this learning community are ephemeral emergents — which also means they can collapse. The action can call for a role or an artifact that is missing from the simulation, resulting in improvisation, chaos, laughter."
