Abstract

Past research indicates that evidence from education studies was not an influential factor, while educator excitement was a significant one. The results of our survey indicate that peer-reviewed citations correlated with educator familiarity and intended adoption. However:

Perceived benefits and challenges, which we used as a proxy for excitement, had a statistically significant yet smaller effect size
Our results suggest that, despite previous findings, evidence from education research might influence adoption.
This work also offers a quantitative metric for educator excitement.
