was participating in a group noted that he wanted to be aware of the various approachesinstructors were using even if he would not be likely to adopt them himself. Three instructorswere motivated by sharing their experiences and expertise to motivate others to adopt research-based practices. Two of the groups included graduate students who served as the primaryinstructors for either a lecture course or a laboratory. Nearly unanimously, graduate-studentparticipants described plans to pursue an academic career and cited participation in the teachingdevelopment group as a way to prepare for the teaching aspects of that career. Some graduate-student participants planned to pursue teaching-focused academic positions; others wereinterested in
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
