Liens entre le modèle CBAM et l’approche d’enseignement dans le contexte de l’adoption d’une classe d’apprentissage actif par des enseignants au postsecondaire | Relationships between the CBAM Model and the Approach to Teaching Inventory in the Adoption of the Active Learning Classrooms by Postsecondary Teachers

Abstract

Although research shows that the use of active learning clasrooms, specially designed for the use of technologies and active pedagogies, has positive impacts on learning (Beichner et al., 2007), the process by which teachers come to adopt this type of class setup has yet to be explored in depth. This multi-case study uses the Concern-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI) theoretical models to describe the cases of 15 teachers who use this class setup, which is still quite new in the Quebec cégep network. The results reveal CBAM stage of concern (SoC) profiles that are sometimes surprising, especially with regard to new users who display characteristics typical of advanced user profiles. A correlation of the SoC profiles with the teaching approach adopted could account for this profile distribution. Finally, as collaboration is shown to be a dominant factor in the teachers' interests, its links with the CBAM levels of use (LoU) are discussed.
