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

<p>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 <strong>Experimental Design and Ability Test</strong> (EDAT), the <strong>Critical Thinking Test</strong> (CTT, an adaption of the Field-Tested Learning Assessment Guide), a <strong>concept-map</strong> test, and an adaption of the <strong>Survey of Student Attitudes, Abilities, and Beliefs</strong> (SAAB) survey. </p>
