Four-Phase Structure of the shipwreck simulation protocol

PhaseDurationActivityCognitive demand inducedKolb (2015) cycle stageData generated
1. Individual ranking15 minEach participant independently prioritizes the 15 items under time pressureIndividual judgment under uncertainty and time constraintConcrete experienceIndividual deviation scores versus reference ranking
2. Team consensus15 minTeams reach a unified ranking through unstructured deliberation without facilitationCollective sense-making; emergent leadership and conflict managementReflective observationTeam consensus score; synergy index
3. Strategic decision5 minTeams choose between rowing toward shore or awaiting rescueDecision-making under irreducible uncertaintyAbstract conceptualizationStrategic choice (row/wait)
4. Debriefing55 minFacilitated “4F” reflection (Facts, Feelings, Findings, Future) redirecting attention from outcome to processMetacognitive reflection on decision processes and group dynamicsActive experimentationQualitative reflection feeding interview themes
Note(s):

Total session duration ≈ 90 min. The reference ranking derives from the original task (Nemiroff and Pasmore, 1975). Instructors followed identical scripts for phase transitions and debriefing prompts across both cohorts to ensure implementation fidelity
