Abstract

Reflection is a metacognitive skill that's essential to creative discovery. As we design interactive technologies for reflection, how might we measure the impact of our designs? In this paper, we develop a coding scheme to explore reflective moments in the speech and language of young children during child-computer interaction. Using cross-disciplinary theories - from the learning sciences to cognitive neuroscience - we define and describe 13 reflective processes occurring within Baumer's 3 conceptual dimensions of reflection. We then use this framework to measure the impact of a child-robot storytelling interaction with twelve children ages 4-5, and offer developmentally-appropriate transcript examples for each of the 13 reflective processes. This coding scheme provides a practical tool for exploring the impact of our designs on reflection, and can be used to guide design iteration.
