AB  - The Scientific Teaching (ST) pedagogical framework provides various approaches 
      for science instructors to teach in a way that more closely emulates how science 
      is practiced by actively and inclusively engaging students in their own learning 
      and by making instructional decisions based on student performance data. Fully 
      understanding the impact of ST requires having mechanisms to quantify its 
      implementation. While many useful instruments exist to document teaching 
      practices, these instruments only partially align with the range of practices 
      specified by ST, as described in a recently published taxonomy. Here, we describe 
      the development, validation, and implementation of the Measurement Instrument for 
      Scientific Teaching (MIST), a survey derived from the ST taxonomy and designed to 
      gauge the frequencies of ST practices in undergraduate science courses. MIST 
      showed acceptable validity and reliability based on results from 7767 students in 
      87 courses at nine institutions. We used factor analyses to identify eight 
      subcategories of ST practices and used these categories to develop a short 
      version of the instrument amenable to joint administration with other research 
      instruments. We further discuss how MIST can be used by instructors, departments, 
      researchers, and professional development programs to quantify and track changes 
      in ST practices.
