Breaking the Cycle: Future Faculty Begin Teaching with Learner-Centered Strategies after Professional Development

The authors investigated the extent to which postdoctoral fellows believed in and implemented evidence-based pedagogies after completion of a 2-yr professional development program, FIRST IV. Postdocs reported greater use of learner-centered compared with teacher-centered instruction, and video ratings further documented learner-centered instruction.
