Our work explores team-based collaboration in undergraduate STEM education. In particular, our research team's work focuses on understanding how teams of STEM faculty and other stakeholders who are making instructional changes can work together to have high chances of success.
We are looking at various aspects of instructional change teams' collaboration, including how teams are set up, how they coordinate their work together, their affective and cognitive states, and finally, the team outcomes. Our research in this area is exploratory, as little research has been done on teams in this particular context. Our work so far has resulted in the development of a model (below) that describes:

Our research in this area is exploratory, as little research has been done on teams in this particular context. Our work so far has resulted in the development of a model (below) that describes:
- team inputs (how teams are set up),
- team processes (how team members work together),
- emergent states (how team members think and feel about their work), and
- team outcomes,
