摘要：The present reliance on lexicogrammatical accuracy seems to be an impoverished construct on which to assess students’ understanding and students’ ability to productively interact and use engineering concepts in team settings. I propose supplementing accuracy with the concepts of agility and efficacy because meaning-making seems to be more critical to a student’s ability to successfully engage in the complex process of communication than accuracy alone. However, before these can be assessed it is necessary to determine what meaning-making, agility and efficacy look like in practice. This study examines emergent meaning-making practices of video-recorded team meetings in two first-year engineering design courses. Analysis revealed that lexicogrammatical accuracy did not reflect a team’s or individual’s ability to communicate-to make meaning.
