From: Describing undergraduate STEM teaching practices: a comparison of instructor self-report instruments
Instrument | Scoring convention | Reported analyses |
---|---|---|
ATI | Each item scored from 1 to 5 from lower to higher frequency | Correlational studies of ATI scores and teaching and learning factors |
BEFS | Distinguished between users and non-users of research-based instructional strategies (RBIS) and their critical components | Response trends in percentages Compared use of RBIS and critical components with Fisher’s exact test and chi-square |
FSSE | None reported | Frequency distributions of responses for each item |
HDPFS | None reported | Frequency distributions of responses for each item |
HERI | Construct scores estimated based on pattern of responses for construct | Frequency distributions of responses for each item Construct scores reported in low, average, and high categories |
NSOPF | None reported | Frequency distributions of responses for each item |
OCES | None reported | Frequency distributions of responses for each item |
PIPS | Items scored 0–4, high scores for greater descriptiveness of one’s teaching Construct scores = total points for construct items/total possible points for construct multiplied by 100 | ANOVA and independent t tests used to compare demographic groups Correlational analysis used to explore relationships between PIPS scores and aspects of teaching |
STEP | Instructional format and perceptions of teaching items scored from 1 to 5, higher scores assigned to greater importance or use | Frequency distributions of responses for each item t tests used to compare means for individual items |
STI | Response choices assigned score 0–1, higher scores for more reformed practices | Frequency distributions of responses and mean responses for each item |
SUCCEED | Teaching practice items scored 0–4, higher scores for more frequent use | One-way ANOVA to compare mean scores |
TPI | Scores 1–3 assigned by item for yes responses. Higher scores for literature supported reformed practices | Whole instrument mean scores, standard deviation, and course enrollment weighted mean scores |
