Abstract

This study assesses the impact of CL4STEM (Connected Learning for STEM) innovation on the teaching practices of lecturers in the Science Education Department at Kaduna State University (KASU) using the Individual Innovativeness Scale (IIS). The CL4STEM framework, stems from Connected Learning for STEM (CL4STEM), an innovative project aimed at teacher capacity building in sciences and mathematics involving communities of practice as its component to developing teachers’ ability to adopt an innovative approach to science instruction and to implement a novel curriculum. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys with the IIS to categorize lecturers based on their innovativeness levels (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards) and qualitative focus group discussions (FGDs) to explore their perceptions, challenges, and institutional support needs. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and thematic analysis were used to examine the relationship between lecturers’ innovativeness levels and their adoption of CL4STEM methodologies.
