principle, supported by [4], is most tightly connected to the questions addressed inthis paper about motivation to participate and choices about if/how participants change theirteaching. Instructors are motivated to participate by their own teaching interests and areintroduced to a variety of possible strategies. Similarly, instructors make individual decisionsabout what strategies they will use and how they will implement the chosen strategies.MethodsThis study takes place in a large public university with a strong research focus (R1 designation).Six TDGs are included in the analysis. These groups operated in mathematics, global andcommunity health, computer science, biology, physics/astronomy, and civil engineering. Thispaper considers the TDGs
Paper ID #21477Exploring Faculty Beliefs About Teaching Evaluations: What is Missing fromCurrent Measures?Dr. Benjamin David Lutz, Oregon State University Ben Lutz is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Engineering Education at Oregon State University. His research in- terests include innovative pedagogies in engineering design, conceptual change and development, school- to-work transitions for new engineers, and efforts for inclusion and diversity within engineering. His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learn- ing supports transfer of learning from school into

we are reading together forSpring 2018 is “How Learning Works” by Ambrose, Bridges et al (2010).In discussing what has gone well so far, the TLC has realized that collaboration with otherteaching practices/pedagogy work allows the TLC participants to leverage their interests withinterests of others on campus while still retaining a focus on the civil engineering department.The collaboration also results in initial interdisciplinary SoTL research projects that strengthenthe efforts of all participants.We have also realized that we need to assess the impact on the participants of the TLC in termsof how attitudes may have shifted in regards to active learning and teaching in general. Theremay be other impacts beyond teaching practices as well

She conducts research on tools and techniques that can be readily applied in real engineer- ing learning environments to improve student learning and teaching. In this respect her two prominent research contributions are with: 1) artefact-inspired discovery–based pedagogy, i.e., learning activities where students’ exploration of STEM knowledge is self-directed and motivated by interactions or manip- ulations of artefacts; and 2
adoption.The overarching goals are to 1) encourage adoption of research-based teaching strategiesincluding those specific to the discipline and 2) develop a cross-institutional network of facultycommitted to improving STEM education. To support the second goal, the American Society ofEngineering Education (ASEE) joined the partnership to assist in facilitating cross-institutionalnetworking opportunities for DLC participants from various colleges and universities.A team of STEM faculty worked together to develop the instructional framework of the DLCs.This framework will be piloted in the 2018-19 academic year at three universities in five STEMdisciplines such as engineering and applied math.
