Four-Phase Structure of the shipwreck simulation protocol
| Phase | Duration | Activity | Cognitive demand induced | Kolb (2015) cycle stage | Data generated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Individual ranking | 15 min | Each participant independently prioritizes the 15 items under time pressure | Individual judgment under uncertainty and time constraint | Concrete experience | Individual deviation scores versus reference ranking |
| 2. Team consensus | 15 min | Teams reach a unified ranking through unstructured deliberation without facilitation | Collective sense-making; emergent leadership and conflict management | Reflective observation | Team consensus score; synergy index |
| 3. Strategic decision | 5 min | Teams choose between rowing toward shore or awaiting rescue | Decision-making under irreducible uncertainty | Abstract conceptualization | Strategic choice (row/wait) |
| 4. Debriefing | 55 min | Facilitated “4F” reflection (Facts, Feelings, Findings, Future) redirecting attention from outcome to process | Metacognitive reflection on decision processes and group dynamics | Active experimentation | Qualitative reflection feeding interview themes |

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
