Evidence for Design for Change: Programs and Courses (DfC-PaC)

Chapters 1 and 2 emphasized the need for ongoing research on the design elements of teacher preparation programs to understand and attribute those design features to the outcomes those programs produce. In this chapter, we share evidence for the Design for Change-Faculty (DfC-PaC) model described in Chap. 5 . The findings are derived from four doctoral theses, two books, and nine peer-reviewed studies that employed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods. The chapter provides an overview of the studies and their findings and identifies the future trajectory for research on the DfC-PaC approach.
