Subclaims¶

q2 i? For 1975 workshop participants, Stage 0, 1, and 2 concerns were lowered and Stage 4, 5, and 6 concerns raised after the workshop. → Loucks 1977 q2 i? Both initial nonusers and initial users changed in the expected directions after the workshop, with nonusers moving from a typical nonuser profile to a typical user profile. → Loucks 1977 (2)

Before-and-after comparison of SoC profiles for the group completing the 1975 two-week workshop, contrasting May (pre) and September (post) data shown in Figure 7. The May profile was the typical nonuser profile, high on Stages 0 through 2.

"The dashed line, indicating the September data, illustrates the lowered Stage 0, 1, and 2 concerns, and the raised Stage 4, 5, and 6 concerns."

Figures 8a and 8b separate the ten users and ten nonusers with complete data who attended the 1975 workshop; user designations were based on July data. Both groups' profiles changed in the expected ways, users showing a slight decrease in Stage 1 and 2 and heightening of Stage 3, 4, and 6 concerns.

"the nonusers have the typical nonuser (high on lower SoC, low on higher SoC) profile before the workshop, and after the workshop have the typical user profile (low on lower SoC, high on higher SoC)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Individual teachers' concern profiles vary widely and can diverge from group trends during implementation — related
• Anticipating a workshop versus having prior workshop experience differentiates teachers' concern profiles — related
• Teachers' concerns follow a developmental trend from lower to higher stages during curriculum implementation — related
• Professional learning experiences shift teachers' beliefs away from traditional views toward practice-based science and increase implementation confidence, with gains leveling off after initial workshops — related
• After brief 1–2 day training, participants showed behaviors consistent with movement from Stage 0–1 toward Stage 1–2, and sustained courses were associated with Stage 3–4 behaviors (observational; no pre/post measure or comparison group) — related
• Faculty workshop participants agreed the educational focus should shift toward higher-level skills, naming abstraction, verification, and taking responsibility for systems — related
• Workshop engagement reaches an inflection point at the first shareback of newly generated text, after which participant questions about LLMs become more incisive — related
