- Authors
Nadelson, Louis S.; Seifert, Anne L.
- Abstract
The K-12 teacher engagement with educational innovation behavioral elements was understudied. As part of a week-long science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education focused professional development program (involving over 600 teachers in year six of implementation), pre and post data were gathered, aligned with educators' consideration of innovative STEM education initiatives, including perceptions of teaching core STEM practices and 21st century skills. Significant correlations among multiple measures motivated creation of a structural equation model using comfort teaching STEM as a proxy for propensity to implement educational innovations. This equation was transformed into a model of teacher behaviors associated with implementing educational innovation.
