We made room for emergent codes because unlike the data for which theoriginal coding scheme was designed, our data involved a multi-person discussion rather than asingle person’s think-aloud. We anticipated that there might be need for codes aboutconversational moves that could not be described strictly as engineering design practices. Thecoding process was conducted by two researchers: an elementary teacher educator who waspreviously a mechanical and aerospace engineer, and a doctoral student who had previouslyworked as a mechanical engineer.The coding process proceeded along the following steps.
