DESCRIPTION:Title: Educators’ Beliefs and Interpretations of Productive Fa
 ilure in STEM Professional Development\n\nProgram: Curriculum and Instruc
 tion EdD\n\nCommittee Chair: Arturo Rodriguez\n\nCommittee: Arturo Rodrig

 an instructional approach that engages students in challenging problems b
 efore receiving instruction. Research has examined its effects on student
  learning\; however\, less attention has been given to how educators expe
 rience and interpret PF themselves.\nThis qualitative case study explored
  how participation in a four-day STEM professional development course rel
 ated to educators' beliefs about teaching through struggle. The study inc
 luded ten educators and used pre- and post-surveys\, daily written reflec
 tions\, observational field notes\, and seven individual interviews.\nAna
 lysis of the data resulted in four themes: (1) Failure became productive 
 when it provided information for continued learning\; (2) educators recon
 sidered when and how to provide support\; (3) experiencing struggle revea
 led its emotional complexity\; and (4) belief development followed differ
 ent pathways. The study also identified a cross-cutting condition: PS was
  not automatic.\nThe findings contribute to understanding how educators i
 nterpret PF through their own learning experiences and offer insights for
  designing PD that supports educators in facilitating PF in STEM learning
  environments.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/985a0f16-fb37-4619-bbff-44e
