q2 · i? · associational · r1

Unexpected finding from the longitudinal SCIS SoCQ analyses, where "Management concerns (SoC 3) never-predominated for any group." The author offers two interpretations: the workshop may have resolved management concerns before use began, or management concerns were not aroused until actual use began and were resolved by January.

"One finding that was not expected wasthat Management concerns (SoC 3) never-predominated for any group.This has not been the case with other inno- vations studied, particularly in the team teachingstudy"
