  1. DT Design Theory
  2. aStep 1: Group overall scores calculated out of 60 for each evaluator (N = 13 per evaluator). Cronbach’s weighted alphas calculated; Moderate level of Agreement identified (KW = 0.44). Step 2: Mean evaluators’ difficulties scores calculated by DT phase and group (N = 13 per DT phase). Step 3. Overall Mean and SDs calculated by DT phase
  3. bScores from 1 (substantial observed difficulties) to 5 (no observed difficulties)
