Analyses of postsecondary teaching are limited by overly blunt measures that focus on regularly used teaching methods (e.g., lecturing) while ignoring other important dimensions of classroom practice. This is important because these flawed measures of teaching are being used as a central feature of the national discourse on science and math education. In this article we introduce a new approach to studying postsecondary teaching that captures five distinct dimensions of teaching practice as they interact over time. Using the Teaching Dimensions Observation Protocol, we observed 58 science and math faculty teaching undergraduate courses at three large, public research universities. Results are reported by institution and discipline, with in-depth analyses of two biology instructors that reveals substantial variation between individuals who regularly lecture. Improved measures of postsecondary teaching can be used to interject more empirically sound accounts of teaching into the national debate on science and math education.
