Abstract | The primary focus of the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) is the individual teacher and professor involved in explorinq, selecting, and implementing educational innovations. The conceptual basis of CBAM proposes developmental steps of growth in feelings and skills that are experienced by individuals as they adopt innovations. The CBAM also suggests a process that managers of change can use to diagnose the developmental readiness of individuals during the adoption process. This particular research effort entails developing measures and conducting studies that will lead to initial empirical verification of the stages of concerns and levels of use dimensions. The research is focused around four key questions: (1) Are there differentiable stages of concern about an innovation? (2) Are there differentiable levels of use of innovation? (3) Are there concerns about and use of an innovation "developmental"? and (4) How are concerns about and use of an innovation related to each other? Using these questions as a basis, the project is involved in four work efforts: Measurement Development; Cross Sectional Studies; Longitudinal Studies; and Immediate Utility and Heuristic Studies.
