Productive Struggle Webinar 4 – Applying and Testing the Framework

September 3rd, 2020 | RESEARCH

As part of an NSF-funded project, Guidelines for Designing Challenging and Rewarding Interactive Science Exhibits (DRL-1612577), the Museum of Science, Boston, CAST, EdTogether, and the University of Rochester held a four-part webinar series on “productive struggle,” a mixed emotional experience during which learners persist through negative feelings like confusion and frustration to achieve a satisfying resolution. In this webinar series, members of the team talk through their thinking and methods in designing productive struggle exhibits and also highlight how designing for emotions can create deeper, more inclusive learning experiences.

For our fourth and final webinar, we describe the data-driven prototyping process of developing a productive struggle exhibit. Through practical examples, learn how to use the design framework to develop an exhibit plan, test it to assess the emotional outcomes of design, and consider how to iterate until it successfully supports productive struggle for a wide range of visitors.
