How it works

Each of the 24 students has a fixed learning-style position h on a 0–1 teacher-centred ↔ student-centred spectrum, and a resilience r. Every strategy sits at a point on the same spectrum:

Lecture = 0.00   Socratic Q&A = 0.35
Group Discussion = 0.65   Hands-on = 1.00

match(student) = 1 − |strategyPos − h|

Each simulated second, mastery, frustration and engagement update from the current match quality and difficulty D:

Δmastery     = 0.09 · match · (1−mastery) · (1−0.6·frustration)
Δfrustration = [0.12·D·(1−match)·(1−0.6r) − 0.10·match]
engagement  → 0.3 + 0.6·match − 0.3·frustration   (relaxation, rate 1.2/s)

A hidden "control class" with identical students is taught with Lecture only the whole time and hit by the same random disruption events (pop quizzes, a fire drill, a confusing homework problem). Adaptability gain is your class's average mastery minus that control class's — the measured payoff of actually switching strategy to match what the room needs, rather than running one script regardless of circumstances.
