Preliminary Teacher Inquiry Results
Inquiry Teaching Assessment = significant pre-post gains (t = 2.25; p = 0.034; effect size = 0.51)
Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale = significant pre-post gains (t = 2.36; p = .024; effect size = .39)
Self-Efficacy Scale = significant pre-post gains (t = 9.24; p < .001; effect size = 1.35).
• On post-cohort interviews, teachers reported TSI provided very helpful tools and approaches for teaching and learning the scientific process.
Preliminary Teacher Content Results
Content scores increases in pre-post results across all modules (Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Ecological)
• from 62%-71% to 72%-82%.
• All four pre-post comparisons (combined across cohorts) were statistically significant at the .05 level (effect sizes ranged from .46 to 1.08).)
Preliminary Student Results
Nature of Science Assessment = significant pre-post gains (t = 6.38; p < .001; effect size = 0.28)
Nature of Science Scale = gain pre-post of 0.14 (10-point scale)
• Students in Cohorts 4 and 5 will also complete a Student Self-Efficacy in Science Scale as well as module specific Student Content Assessments.
