Abstract
Guided by contemporary theory and research from design fields, we propose a framework for conceptualizing K-12 educators' stances towards design that focuses on problem framing, information gathering, divergent thinking, and iteration.We use this framework to analyze data drawn from 28 pre-service teachers' conceptualization of design within the context of a design course taken by over 400 pre-service teachers.Our analysis demonstrated that most participants made only moderate progress in refining their thinking about design. Theoretical frameworkInsights from design fields suggest that a designerly stance towards design for K-12 educators focused on supporting second order changes would emphasize four key themes as follows: (a) view of the problem space (e.g.,

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
