| Popis: | In this article, we describe the development process for designing multimedia educative curriculum materials (MECMs) focused on supporting teachers in argumentation. We also describe results from a study with 46 teachers. We were interested in whether teachers’ backgrounds or characteristics of the MECMs impacted MECM use. Overall, 89% of the teachers used the MECMs. Teachers’ use was not related to their background, such as years teaching; however, placement of the MECMs and the type of support impacted use. Teachers were more likely to access MECMs embedded in lesson plans or reflective self-assessment prompts compared to a separate library. In addition, teachers were more likely to watch videos earlier in the curriculum and the 1st time a new activity structure was introduced. |
