Communication and community: GTA perceptions on a professional development program
Page: 1117
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an important role as instructors in math departments. As a result, professional development (PD) opportunities have been developed to support these primarily novice instructors, but these programs can vary widely. This study assesses the state of a PD program for GTAs at a large, public, doctoral-granting institution. Surveys and interviews were analyzed with using Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) as a framework.
