Addressing Shared Reflective Persistence Through Three Different Lenses

In this poster, we discuss how a combination of multimodal data streams, ethnography and psychometrics can help us understand the qualities of group work in science education. We focus on student’s ability to persist despite meeting difficulties – and refer to this group capacity as shared reflective persistence (SRP). The main contribution of the poster is to define SRP, describe the need for empirical understanding of the phenomenon in science education and discuss the promise of multimodal data analytics to contribute to this. In order to explore SRP empirically we combine three methodological strands (ethnography, multimodal learning analytics and psychometrics). And address the question of how to combine these strands in a coherent QE analysis.
