The 'Trouble Shooting' Checklist (TSC) For Higher Educational Settings (Manual).

The "Trouble Shooting" Checklist (TSC) for Higher Educational Settings has been developed to assist educational change agents, faculty, and administrators concerned with change, in their assessment of organizational variables predictive of a department's potential for successfully adopting innovations. The higher educational based TSC is both diagnostic and predictive. That is, the TSC provides a means of organizing information in a predictive way. In addition, the TSC contains distinct scales that identify particular strengths and weaknesses within a department. This paper provides information on the development of the TSC, reliability, validity, and norms. (Author)
