The analysis revealed a centralized model (group 1), loosely coordinated collaboration with limited verbal interaction (group 2), and balanced and regulated collaboration (group 3). → Xinran Zhu · Bodong Chen · David DeLiema 2026 q2 i? Group 3's discussion featured the highest percentage of regulative actions, 40% during the synthesis phase, supporting coordination and idea development. → Xinran Zhu · Bodong Chen · David DeLiema 2026 (2)

q2 · i? · design · r2

Comparative analysis of discourse patterns across the three groups, visualized in Fig. 7. Group 2 also displayed the highest rate of off-task talk, while group 3 showed the most structured and interactive collaboration with all members contributing to discussion and artifact.

"(1) a centralized model, where one student assumed a dominant leadership role (group 1); (2) loosely coordinated collaboration, characterized by limited verbal interaction and independent work (group 2)"

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Group-level coding analysis of group 3's discussion: "40%" of actions during the synthesis phase were regulative, intertwined with epistemic moves such as negotiating meaning and elaborating peer ideas. Aria initiated discussion by pointing out consistent structures across individual syntheses.

"Their discussion featured the highest percentage of regulative actions (40% during the synthesis phase), which supported the coordination of their work and the development of ideas."
