  1. Note: Standard errors in parentheses, *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1
  2. Note: Variables definitions are as follows: teachings styles are continuous variables measured by taking the average of statements for each style as shown in Table 1. Gender was taken as 1 for women and 0 for men. Course level was considered as 1 for respondents who taught senior students (years 4 and 5) and 0 for teachers of junior students (years 1,2,3). Academic tank was taken as 1 for senior teachers (professor, associate, assistant professor) and 0 for junior teachers (lecturer, adjunct faculty). Teaching experience was taken as 1 for senior teachers with more than 5 years’ experience and 0 for juniors with less than 5 years’ experience. Finally the variable UoS was considered as 1 if responding teacher represented UoS and 0 otherwise; Likewise, other institutions were given 1 and 0 using the same coding system
