I filled this out with reference to the Introduction to Information Systems class. In many ways, this class is largely about vocabulary-- what do the terms used in talking about information systems mean? However, my guru-nature leads me to want to give them more than that in class. I think that building up a knowledge of how one uses the systems will help them to better remember what the terms themselves mean.
My scores were:
Information Transfer: 21
Conceptual Change: 59

Of the approaches listed, I feel that what I am trying to do, with or without success, is approach D: a student-focused strategy aimed at students developing their conceptions. I think approach E is probably not viable, as I don't think that many of them have much experience with IS in an organizational context. Yes, they all use smartphones and computers; but they don't really know anything beyond that. The kind of multi-user task focused system used in business is not the same, even to multi-user task focused systems like World of Warcraft. :-)

Does this surprise me? Only to the extent of how large the score difference is. Given the actualities of the students and the course, I thought they would be closer to one another.

Is this the best approach? I think so; but I am fully prepared to hear argument about that. :-)

Changing my approach: I would really prefer for class time to be much more interactive than it is. While I can get them answering questions about cases, I rarely seem able to get them to argue about it among themselves. I would like to have a lot more of that.

Teaching fit: again, I think it's pretty good, or would be if the students cooperated more. :-)
