WEIGHING FORMAT & EVIDENCE (PARTICIPANT POOL FALL 2017)

Abstract

Description

During the Fall 2017 term150 pre-service teachers participated in an experiment designed to measure how they value different types of professional development delivery and different types of evidence of effectiveness. In a 2 x 2 design, students read a vignette that described either a conventional program consisting of a two-day in person professional development session or an unconventional program consisting of a one-hour online professional development session. Each type of program was supported by either strong experimental evidence or weaker testimonial evidence. Participants also responded to questions about their mindsets about student motivation. Some preliminary results are presented here. Thank you for your time spent participating.
