Resum
This thesis project reports the results of a study that assessed the orchestration load of a teacher orchestrating pyramid activities using PyramidApp in an online setting, by observing a combination of data sources, namely, electrodermal activity (EDA), video recordings and self-perception measures. The aim of the project was to validate whether electrodermal activity could be used to assess orchestration load, and to compare two different dashboard designs by observing its impact on a teacher’s orchestration load. Both "Mirroring" and "Alerting" dashboard design presented information about the progress of the activity, but the latter suggested actions to the teacher depending on the progress of the activity. To achieve these goals, a female university teacher was tasked to orchestrate six different pyramid activities using PyramidApp with their students. For each pyramid activity, the teacher’s EDA, actions and self-perceived stress were recorded. It was expected to observe variances in EDA as a result teacher actions related to orchestration. Also, the "Alerting" dashboard design that provided greater support for the teacher was expected to create a lighter orchestration load compared to the "Mirroring" dashboard design which provided less support. All data sources were triangulated for each session and to verify if they pointed to the same conclusions. First results indicated that EDA variations concurred with actions related to orchestration and particularly on situations when the teacher reported feeling stressed. The teacher also reported feeling stressed more times when using the "Mirroring" dashboard than the "Alerting" dashboard.Descripció
