What was my role?
(Maker, Instructor, Observer )
Observations I made during the testing
The Maker started by organizing the pieces by color and shape, which helped with the building process.
The Instructor adjusted their instructions based on the Maker’s actions, ensuring clarity when mistakes were made.
Both the Maker and Instructor worked collaboratively, with the Instructor adding more descriptors (e.g., “dark grey SINGULAR”)
The Maker often waited for confirmation.
When pieces were missing, the Maker was able to predict where they might go.
