Indeed, theenactment of engineering design learning opportunities in field-based experiences is also evidentin some studies where engineering is emphasized in specific methods courses [7], [9]. Thesefield-based experiences, whether they occur during student teaching or in conjunction withmethods coursework, provide future elementary teachers with the opportunity to plan, teach, andreflect on their implementation of engineering design lessons.

The cyclical action research processcomprises four key phases: contemplation, planning, action, observation, and reflection [20].The authors identified five key stages of conducting an action research project. These includeidentifying a problem area, collecting relevant data, analyzing the data, acting on the evidence,and evaluating the results.

Aligned with our framework, engineering design-based instruction is at the core of thismodel.

This skillset allows teachers to adjust their instruction and respond tounexpected situations during their teaching. As previously mentioned, three indicators ofadaptive expertise in teaching include: flexibility, deep-level understanding, and deliberatepractice [16]. Flexibility in teaching shows adaptive expertise in that teachers are not beholden totheir lesson plans exactly as written; they are responsive to the needs of students during thelearning experience [19]. These teachers show a willingness to experiment, play, changedirection, problem solve, and refine based on their own reflection
