Description¶

Scoring Qualitative Informal Learning Dialogues (SQuILD) is a method presented by Roberts and Lyons that "aims to measure informal talk and learning in open-ended museum settings." It can "be used to quantify social learning as a way of testing how participants understand interactive exhibits," addressing three challenges: developing relevant codes, segmenting dialogue with an event unit for cross-group comparison, and respecting socially constructed learning when quantifying dialogue.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Relevant codes must be developed for identifying open-ended learning with interactive exhibits, and an appropriate unit of analysis (the event unit) defined for cross-group comparisons.

Constraints¶

• The method "has some weaknesses that need further improvements, such as more in-depth work on the process aspects of bodily movement and their relationship with talk," and processes are difficult to control in situ in a museum.

Target Learners¶

• Museum visitors in open-ended interactive-exhibit settings

Target Learning Goals¶

• Social learning and understanding of interactive full-body exhibits
