Final evaluations of 26 GK-12 sites were analyzed with a priori and emergent content analyses, which included rigorous inter- and intra-reliability testing. The results of the a priori analysis demonstrated that the GK-12 program incorporates all ERBCPD, but to drastically varying degrees (76-5%). The a priori characteristics that appeared most often were "Treats Fellows as professionals,” and "Professional development is on-going.” The two emergent characteristics included "Improves communication skills” and "Has real world application.” The Association for Science Teacher Education, USA, 2011 Graduate study nationallicence Professional development nationallicence Fellowships nationallicence Scientists nationallicence Science programs nationallicence Partnerships nationallicence Cormas Peter Department of Education, Harkins Hall 324, Providence College, 549 River Avenue, 02918, Providence, RI, USA aut Barufaldi James Center for Science and Mathematics Education, SZB 340, The University of Texas at Austin, 78712-1294, Austin, TX, USA aut Journal of Science Teacher Education Springer Netherlands 22/3(2011-04-01), 255-272 1046-560X 22:3<255 2011 22 10972 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10972-011-9228-1 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10972-011-9228-1 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Cormas Peter Department of Education, Harkins Hall 324, Providence College, 549 River Avenue, 02918, Providence, RI, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Barufaldi James Center for Science and Mathematics Education, SZB 340, The University of Texas at Austin, 78712-1294, Austin, TX, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Science Teacher Education Springer Netherlands 22/3(2011-04-01), 255-272 1046-560X 22:3<255 2011 22 10972 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
