q2 · i? · design · r3
Think-aloud interview question Q3 with ten teachers. The discussion adds that even when their goal is to change teaching, "teachers do not aim at collecting teaching data", which remains "a novel concept for teachers, not widespread in practice".
"The inquiry questions that teachers formulated were mostly targeted at student engagement, e.g., "Which method would make students more actively involved?" "To what extent could a student work on their own?""
