From CREATE workshop to course implementation: Examining downstream impacts on teaching practices and student learning at 4-year institutions

We provide the full data set for the research study informing the efficacy of the CREATE strategy for positively influencing faculty and students in science courses at ten institutions (4-year). CREATE (consider, read, elucidate hypotheses, analyze, and intrepret data; think of the next experiment) represents a scaffolded approach for teaching students using the primary literature as the foundation of course instruction. In this project, faculty from different institutions were trained in this pedagogy through a week-long workshop and then followed as they adapted CREATE for a science course at their home institutions. We used a variety of assessments (cognitive, affective) to determine the effects of implementation on student cohorts at each institution. These assessments included the Experimental Design and Ability Test (EDAT), the Critical Thinking Test (CTT, an adaption of the Field-Tested Learning Assessment Guide), a concept-map test, and an adaption of the Survey of Student Attitudes, Abilities, and Beliefs (SAAB) survey.
