Editing Adopting teaching innovations (section)

===Description of mental tasks needed to overcome the bottleneck===
A [[Decoding interview]] with a faculty member experienced in the implementation revealed the following factors contributing to the adoption of teaching innovations:

* Viewing adoption as gain rather than being overwhelmed by the related effort
* Believing that the aim of teaching is to equip students with needed skills (rather than delivering content)
* Believing in science and believing that teaching is a scientific endevor
* Actively looking for literature about the teaching innovation to be implemented
* Actively looking for people who have implemented the teaching innovation
* Preferring teaching innovations which are integrable into one's teaching
* Looking for (moral) support from other teachers
* Desiring to belong to a community of like-minded teachers
