摘要

为了解决循证教学实践(EBIPs)实施缓慢的问题,人们越来越关注影响科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教师教学决策的因素。越来越多的研究发现,环境因素(如教室布局、系部规范)是影响 STEM 教师决定在其课程中实施 EBIPs 的主要因素。然而,影响教学实践的模型表明,情境只是需要考虑的因素之一。其他因素属于个人层面,如教师过去的教学经验和他们对学习的看法。很少有研究能够深入探讨这些个人因素对采用 EBIPs 的作用,因为在研究当前的教师时,要控制情境特征具有挑战性。此外,大多数探讨采用 EBIPs 的研究并没有考虑到每个 EBIPs 的显著特征以及这些特征可能对采用 EBIPs 的决定产生的影响。相反,研究通常探讨的是实施 EBIP 的一般障碍和驱动因素。在本研究中,我们针对文献中的这些空白,对影响九名未来科学、技术、工程和数学教员决定在其教学中采用一组选定的 EBIP 的个别因素和 EBIP 的特点进行了深入探讨。我们曾假设,未来的教员会有不同的理由来支持他们决定是否采用同伴指导和 5E 模型,因为这两种 EBIPs 具有不同的特点。然而,我们的研究结果表明,教员们是基于相似的因素做出决定的。特别是,我们发现他们做出决定的主要驱动因素是:(1)EBIP 与他们过去作为学生和教员的经验以及教学价值观的兼容性;(2)他们所参加的教学课程所提供的经验。本研究表明,在考虑采用 EBIPs 时,有必要超越环境对教师决定在其课程中进行创新的影响,并探索个人因素。此外,专业发展项目应充分利用参与者过去作为学生和教员的经验,并为教员提供机会,让他们以学习者和教员的身份体验新的EBIP。

Prior experiences as students and instructors play a critical role in instructors’ decision to adopt evidence-based instructional practices
There has been a growing interest in characterizing factors influencing teaching decisions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instructors in order to address the slow uptake of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs). This growing body of research has identified contextual factors (e.g., classroom layout, departmental norms) as primary influencers of STEM instructors’ decision to implement EBIPs in their courses. However, models of influences on instructional practices indicate that context is only one type of factor to consider. Other factors fall at the individual level such as instructors’ past teaching experience and their views on learning. Few studies have been able to explore in depth the role of these individual factors on the adoption of EBIPs since it is challenging to control for contextual features when studying current instructors. Moreover, most studies exploring adoption of EBIPs do not take into account the distinctive features of each EBIP and the influence these features may have on the decision to adopt the EBIP. Rather, studies typically explore barriers and drivers to the implementation of EBIPs in general. In this study, we address these gaps in the literature by conducting an in-depth exploration of individual factors and EBIPs’ features that influence nine future STEM instructors’ decisions to incorporate a selected set of EBIPs in their teaching. We had hypothesized that the future instructors would have different reasoning to support their decisions to adopt or not Peer Instruction and the 5E Model as the two EBIPs have distinctive features. However, our results demonstrate that instructors based their decisions on similar factors. In particular, we found that the main drivers of their decisions were (1) the compatibility of the EBIP with their past experiences as students and instructors as well as teaching values and (2) experiences provided in the pedagogical course they were enrolled in. This study demonstrates that when considering the adoption of EBIPs, there is a need to look beyond solely contextual influences on instructor’s decisions to innovate in their courses and explore individual factors. Moreover, professional development programs should leverage their participants past experiences as students and instructors and provide an opportunity for instructors to experience new EBIPs as learners and instructors.
