Efficacy to Teach Engineering Practices in the Science Classroom (E2TEP) Instrument Development
You are invited to participate in a web-based online survey to develop a reliable and effective instrument that will assess preservice and in-service middle school science teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching engineering practices and applying the engineering design process in the science classroom. The instrument is called “Efficacy to Teach Engineering Practices” (E2TEP). The need for this instrument relates to implementing the current science reform, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) or your state’s adaptation of the NGSS. This is a research project being conducted by Vickie Grant, a doctoral student at Piedmont College in Athens, GA.  The survey should take approximately 28 minutes to complete.

BENEFITS
You will receive no direct benefits from participating in this research study. However, your responses may help us learn more about middle school science teachers’ readiness to teach engineering practices in the science classroom.

RISKS
There are no foreseeable risks involved in participating in this study other than those encountered in day-to-day life.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Your answers will be stored in a password protected electronic format.  The researcher does not collect identifying information such as your name, email address, or IP address from this survey.
