There is a significant correlation between responses to factor 3 (teaching-research balance) and responses to the teaching workload item, r 526) = .13, p = .002.002

EBIP adoption scale scores are significantly correlated with (a) factor 1 (the free choice of teaching methods), r 531) = .13, p = .004; (b) factor 3 (teaching-research balance), r 531) = −.18, p < .001, (c) factor 4 (encouragement to use evidence-based instructional practices), r 528) = .14, p = .002, and (d) factor 5 (teacher connectedness), r 531) = .22, p < .001.001
The higher the self-reported stage on the EBIP adoption scale (a) the greater the perception of free choice in teaching, (b) the greater the weighting of teaching in considering teaching-research balance, (c) the greater the perceived encouragement on campus to use evidence-based instructional practices, and (d) the more connected the faculty member feels to other teachers on campus.
