Jendayi B. Dillard; Katherine Sadek; Katherine Muenks – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play a significant role in higher education and in the education of undergraduate students. Previous research suggests that undergraduate students perceive GTAs differently than faculty instructors, but little has been done to explore the nature of those perceptions. This exploratory study uses…

Saadeddine Shehab; Carrie L. James – Innovative Higher Education, 2024
In higher education settings, instructors play a critical role in integrating Human-Centered Design (HCD) in existing and new courses. This study explores how instructors teach about and through HCD in higher education settings and what challenges they encounter as they do so. Participants were four faculty members and four graduate teaching…

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…

Bibek Acharya – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The National Science Foundation identified a shortage of STEM professionals in the United States. There is a dire need to promote STEM education to secure high-paying and skilled jobs for the country's residents and the overall healthy economy. This shortage is partly due to students' low retention and persistence to graduate in STEM fields. Due…

Di Benedetti, Matteo; Plumb, Sarah; Beck, Stephen B. M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
The use of the graduate teaching assistant (GTA) to support the teaching activities of higher education institutions has been growing over the years and it is now a well-established practice. Conventionally training sessions, consisting usually of workshops, remain general and overemphasise policies, not providing sufficient preparation for…

Findley, Kelly – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) carry a substantial instructional role in introductory courses for many mathematics and statistics departments. As a result, many GTAs have first-hand influence on the initial statistical impressions of students from a range of disciplines. But as simultaneous learners of the discipline themselves, GTAs in…

Park, Jungeun; Rizzolo, Douglas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Given the importance of the ability to use variables flexibly in Calculus and students' difficulties related to various uses of variables, this study examined how variables are treated in calculus class. Data for this study came from graduate teaching assistants' (TAs') classroom teaching, which plays a crucial role in undergraduate students'…

Mason, Michelle N.; Watson, Rachel Mim; Moon, Kali Nicholas – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2021
The University of Wyoming recently implemented a Learning Assistant (LA) program with the goal of supporting undergraduate students in traditionally lecture-based STEM courses. The authors performed a multi-method qualitative study utilizing a focus group and individual interviews in order to investigate the impact of the program's pilot year on…

Jandi Lynne Kelly – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The delivery of undergraduate instruction at research universities is highly dependent on graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). The GTA position provides critical instructional support, as well as the pedagogical training and first-hand teaching experiences for future faculty. To date, most research on graduate student instruction pertains to…

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…

Mali, Dafydd; Lim, Hyoung-joo – Accounting Education, 2022
In this study, we compare the academic performance and perceptions of two student groups. The control group includes students that receive traditional accounting instruction (TA) during the totality of a lecture. The experimental group receives a research-informed teaching (RIT) intervention for the final 10 minutes of TA delivery (PER sample).…

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…

Li-Na Ma; Rui Peng; Jing-Ji Xu; Qing-Ling Yang; A-Ceng Li; Ye Han; Lei Yuan; Fan Shen; Dan-Qing Yin; Min-Wen Zheng; Ya-Yu Huang; Jing Ren – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
The traditional approach of using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations in medical imaging theory classes hinders the spatial thinking ability of most students. Consequently, the learning outcomes are often unsatisfactory. This article proposes a naked eye three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging teaching assistant app based on augmented reality (AR)…

Kayla Vieno-Corbett; Andrew M. Deweyert – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Drawing is a teaching tool that provides numerous benefits to student learning, including enhanced knowledge retention, improved observation skills, and increased engagement with course content. However, these exercises also place high cognitive demands on students and require a considerable time commitment. To acknowledge and celebrate the effort…

Ghalichi, Narmin; Cervello Rogers, Kimberly; van Staaden, Moira – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
This study examines the perceptions of first-year, mathematics graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) participating in a six-week summer course designed to deepen their knowledge of collegiate mathematics teaching practices before being assigned to instruct undergraduate students in the subsequent fall semester. Through hybrid deductive-inductive…
