Smith, Cody R.; Menon, Deepika; Wierzbick, Annette; Dauer, Jenny M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants (TAs) play large roles in introductory undergraduate education despite having little to no teaching experience or professional development (PD). Self-efficacy and teaching approach have each been studied as independent variables that impact teaching performance and student learning in the absence of…

Mary E. Pilgrim; Kristin Tenney; Sue Doe – Journal of Education, 2025
Women and people of color continue to be underrepresented in mathematics. Thus, mathematics graduate teaching assistants' (GTAs') classroom experiences are often dominated by individuals who are white and/or male. This sends a problematic message about who can access and engage with mathematics. To better understand their educational experiences,…

Goodwin, Emma C.; Cary, Jessica R.; Shortlidge, Erin E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Despite growing evidence of positive student outcomes from course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), little consideration has been given to employing graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) as CURE instructors. GTAs may be novice researchers and/or teachers and likely vary in their interest in teaching a CURE. Guided by expectancy-value…

Matthew R. Simon – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Responsive teaching is an approach to instruction that foregrounds listening for, attending to and engaging with student disciplinary thinking and ideas in the classroom. This style of teaching differs from how many traditional STEM classes are taught, especially at the college level. Entry-level college science courses that are taught by graduate…

Nasser-Abu Alhija, Fadia; Fresko, Barbara – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
Employing graduate students in undergraduate courses is common practice in higher education. This study focused on the concerns of graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) to learn how their work performance could be improved. GTAs (N = 158) at a major research university in Israel provided written recommendations for enhancing their work. Thematic…

Rutledge, Chayla D.; Bullard, Morgan B.; Kohler-Evans, Patricia – Education, 2019
As a result of increasing emphasis placed on high quality education for all students through such legislative mandates as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), teachers cannot afford to waste valuable instruction time. Evidence-based practices are required to assist all students as they…

Reid, Joshua W.; Weigel, Emily G. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Recent reform efforts in postsecondary science teaching have called for shifts in instructional methods to include more evidence-based instructional practices. However, a myriad of factors play a role in whether an instructor adopts these more student-centered methods. One such factor is teaching perspective. In this study, we explored the…

Beisiegel, Mary; Gibbons, Claire; Rist, Alexis – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
As the field of professional development for mathematics graduate students evolves, there is a need for research studies that examine how mathematics graduate students develop as teachers. This study aims to fill this gap in the research by studying mathematics graduate students' experiences with teaching as they progress through their graduate…

Good, Melanie; Marshman, Emily; Yerushalmi, Edit; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We examined physics graduate teaching assistants' views about introductory physics problem "types," i.e., different ways of posing the same underlying physics problem, within the context of a semester-long teaching assistant (TA) professional development course. Here, we focus on TAs' views about two types of broken-into-parts problems…

Chapman, LeeAnna Young; McConnell, David A. – Innovative Higher Education, 2018
The next generation of professors will come from today's graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, but we do not know much about their preparation to use research-validated teaching practices. This study characterizes the teaching beliefs of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who represent future geoscience instructors though we…

Mewis, Keith; Dee, Jaclyn; Lam, Vivienne; Obradovich, Shannon; Cassidy, Alice – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2018
During their time as Teaching Assistants (TAs), graduate students develop a variety of skills, knowledge, and attitudes (SKAs) based on teaching and related facilitation experiences. As TAs move on to future opportunities, their prior experiences form a foundation upon which additional teaching experience builds. Presently, there are few tools to…

Winstone, Naomi; Moore, Darren – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2017
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) have been described as being "neither fish nor fowl," occupying a role between student and teacher. Their multiple identities are commonly framed within the literature as a key challenge. This study explored the perspectives of GTAs when discussing their teaching work, through activity-oriented focus…

Case, Kim A.; Miller, Angela; Hensley, Rachel; Jackson, Shaprie – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2014
Invisible knowledge or the hidden curriculum, the informal education some students get from faculty mentors, is a privilege not afforded to all students. Many universities have instituted psychology careers courses to assist undergraduate psychology students with academic and career advisement. Designed to share this invisible curriculum with all…
