What long-term outcome of change do teachers in this story fear most?

Boredom

Failure Excessive stress

“Boredom” only occurs in research-intensive or mixed research-and-teaching

Those outliers who “fear boredom” claim that their change is new to department or discipline – not to the world

The change in this story ...

Affects other modules(other colleagues)

Relates to individual practice

Involves programmatic change (QA)

The change in this story relates most to

Student motivation

Student experience

Student achievement

As you move towards “student achievement” you get only teaching-intensive institutionsAnd mid-career “teaching longer than 10 years” – but not “teaching longer than 20 years” where effect disappears5 outliers here are all female

How do teachers react to the change this story describes?

Adaptive, evolve with it

Distrustful, limit it Addictive, accelerate it

The change in this story is

New to my discipline (but used in other subject areas)

Totally new, never been tried before

New to my department (but used in other institutions)

Make sure to slice this by:- Institution-type- Teaching experience-Discipline

The observation here is that those that claim material is “totally new” are frequently wrong (pace when the change occurred – which we didn’t ask) but those who say “new to my department” are often more innovative.Is this because the more experience you have, the more you know you don’t know? Or perhaps teachers in a teaching-intensive environment may be expected to know more?

The change in this story is

New to my discipline (but used in other subject areas)

Totally new, never been tried before

New to my department (but used in other institutions)

When sliced by age – and/or length of career

•The older, the more likely to call what they are doing as “totally new”•Outliers in “totally new” are all male & over 50•(Possibly never been exposed to Staff Development/PGCHE?)

The change in this story happens because of

Institutional (and/or departmental) culture

Individual agency External drivers (e.g. technology, policy)

“Individual agency” mostly “research intensive”

The change this story describes had a short term effect

The change this story describes is the sort of tweaking I do a lot

The change this story describes was a one-off activity

Change in this story is part of a continuous and healthy process

Change in this story is a troublesome and dangerous activity

When this is filtered by “institution-type” ALL “troublesome” instances – in fact, pretty much everything below the 75th percentile occurs in teaching-intensive institutionsAnd all are middle-career (in 40-49 age bracket)

Change in this story is as a result of individual teachers’ actions

Change in this story is as a result of strategic and management activity

Note similarity of distribution to “troublesome & dangerous” – a possibly unsafe observation as only one of the stories at the far right end is about management-imposed change – so there is an issue about what they (or we) understand about “strategic & management”

The change described in this story is evidence-based

The changes described in this story arises from instinct/intuition

More likely to say “the world” or “my discipline” should pay attention to this story if they claim it was “evidence based”.

• Janet took every dyad and triad and sliced them by each question, and then looked at outliers/oddities

• Could see clusters of things, or looking at where patterns were very different between slices (this was visually- virtue of the software)

• For “country” never anything. “Discipline” was unusable in this dataset, due to our inexperience. Some were quite strong every time – research vs teaching institutions, gender (not so often, but when it “told” the effect was large – see “totally new”), teaching experience

• This is especially obvious where the pattern changes between “steps” – e.g. “teaching experience” animation for “who should pay attention”
