q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Structured observations during 4 club meetings using environmental scans at 20-minute intervals, with majority engaged defined as greater than 75%. Table 2 reports listening/interacting with the mathematician at 11/16 and on-task peer behavior at 12/16.

"For most indicators the majority of observations were positive, indicating that they were observed frequently. These included evidence of listening to presentations, responding to prompts, etc."
