REBUILD: Changing the Culture of Introductory STEM Instruction at the University of Michigan

这个机构实施项目建立在十名高级教师的工作基础上，由一支强大的研究和实施人员支持，致力于改变STEM教学文化，增加循证教学的使用。这个过程是研究基于证据的本科教学和学习发展（REBUILD）之一，这是一种受到早期NSF ADVANCE资助下该大学取得的巨大进展的启发的方法。REBUILD的目标是通过由来自物理、化学、生物、数学和教育领域的十名顶尖教师组成的团队的工作，推进循证教学的文化。REBUILD是这些改革努力的先锋，为基于证据的教育提供嵌入式专业知识中心，为我们所有STEM学科的20多个课程改革团队提供支持，并通过我们部门座谈会上的数十个研究改革研讨会进行传播。REBUILD正在利用现有的学习分析工作小组和学习与教学研究中心的努力。它得到了教务长、院长和系主任的明显支持。REBUILD课程改革团队包括教师、研究生和本科生，采用多代人合作的方式，模仿这所大学的传统研究小组。

This Institutional Implementation project is building on the work of ten senior faculty supported by a strong research and implementation staff dedicated to changing the culture of STEM instruction and increase the use of evidence-based teaching. The process is one of Researching Evidence-Based Undergraduate Instructional and Learning Developments (REBUILD), an approach inspired by the strong progress made under an earlier NSF ADVANCE grant to this University. The goal of REBUILD is to advance a culture of evidence-based teaching through the work of a team of ten leading faculty members from physics, chemistry, biology, math, and education. REBUILD forms the vanguard of these reform efforts, providing an embedded center of expertise in evidence-based education, supporting more than twenty course reform teams across all of our STEM disciplines, and spreading through dozens of research-to-reform seminars in our department colloquia. REBUILD is leveraging the efforts of the existing Learning Analytics Task Force and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. It has clear visible backing from the Provost, Deans, and Department Chairs. REBUILD course reform teams include faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates in multigenerational collaborations that emulate the traditional research groups at this University.
