particularly useful prompting question was: “Why?”Research QuestionsWe investigated three research questions for this study: 1. How do kindergartners engaged in an engineering design challenge analyze (i.e., diagnose and/or explain) their design failure experiences? 2. Do kindergartners whose designs fail choose to persist by trying again? 3. How do kindergartners whose designs fail apply testing results and failure analysis when creating their next design attempt?ContextParticipants and SchoolsWe recruited participants from five kindergarten classrooms across three schools within a schoolsystem in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
