We thenshare the approaches we have taken to making coding feasible, from assessing the reliability todeveloping a new self-directed training for coders. We address the following research questions:• To what extent are DSTs valid for informing faculty of the development of problem framing skills, using validity-as-argument dimensions?• To what extent is the coding scheme, which measures factual/conceptual design problem representation, design practices, and design style, able to be applied in a feasible yet reliable manner across coders?Developing an assessment of design problem
