ABSTRACT Institutions of higher education have been increasingly encouragedto employ evidence-based practices in the classroom.Many faculty members continue to rely on more tradi- tional instructional methods, even those who arewell versed in evidence-based teaching techniques. We describe the evolutionand current status of a system that uses behavior analysis (BA)to teach BA. Changes over time in the system are described as results of several environmental factors.The system was recently revised and currentlyexists as the teaching science lab (TSL). The TSL is an example of how faculty memberscan integrate both teaching and research responsibilities while incorporating several behavioral technologies into undergraduatecourse design. Future directions of the TSL are discussed withrespect to the use of evidence-based practice in the college classroom.Lastly, the resources necessary to maintain such a systemand the barriers to success are described.
