Download or read book International Teaching Assistants' Attitudes Toward Teaching and Understanding of United States American Undergraduate Students written by Diana Trebing and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a qualitative descriptive study that analyzed the ways in which international teaching assistants (ITAs) understand and make sense of their roles as international instructors on a U.S. American university campus as well as their perceptions of U.S. American classrooms, teachers, and students. This study also tried to suggest necessary changes and additions to the ITA training program and support on this U.S. American university campus as identified by the research participants themselves. This study followed a qualitative interviewing approach and consisted of 15 in-depth interviews with first time and returning ITAs representing a variety of different countries and cultures. The analysis of the transcribed interviews revealed that, despite their differences in cultural, educational, and linguistic backgrounds, the research participants went through similar experiences when adjusting to their teaching assignments in the U.S. For instance, the ITAs had to consciously become aware of classroom, student, and teacher differences between the U.S. and their native cultures in order to become more effective international instructors. Additionally, the findings illustrated that many research participants were passively aware of many cultural and social rules related to U.S. American classroom behavior, but were not able to apply this knowledge actively in a classroom context. Finally, the data further revealed that ITAs should receive contextualized and ongoing ITA training and support while they are teaching for the first time in a U.S. American classroom since many research participants were not able to understand the classroom information they were given prior to their first teaching assignments. This study provided additional information to ITA researchers, trainers, and mentors since it did not focus on the U.S. American perspective in the ITA debate, but concentrated on the ITAs' points of view. However, instead of providing definite answers for ITA trainers and scholars on how ITAs can function effectively immediately after their arrival in the U.S., this study provided insights into how ITAs experience their lives on one U.S. American university campus and how they actively tried to make sense out of their experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many faculty and graduate students from other countries expect language difficulties when they teach, but are unprepared for other surprises: different cultures make different assumptions about the academic background of college students, how students learn, the appropriate roles of teachers and students, and even the fundamental purpose of a college education. The third edition of "Teaching American Students" explains the expectations of undergraduates at American colleges and universities and offers practical strategies for teaching, including how to give clear presentations, how to teach interactively, and how to communicate effectively. Also included are illustrative examples as well as advice from international faculty and teaching assistants. Appendices offer concrete suggestions on topics from planning the first day of class to grading papers and problem sets.

This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to re-imagine the purpose of the doctorate, which has historically been used to prepare leaders who will work to improve the sciences (social and physical), humanities, and professions, while articulating curriculum as a living shape where students, faculty, and institution melded in a humanist and creative process. This idea, seriously eroded by the explosion in doctoral degrees between the early 1970s (20,000 doctorate per year) and last year (to over 46,000)—and an explosion in doctoral and research universities that has created a crossroads for the doctorate in America. We believe the value of a doctorate is Intellectual Capital, and are particularly interested in encouraging reflection as an important characteristic of a successful quality doctoral program. We posit that a “good doctoral” experience fosters active engagement in reflection on all elements of our work—the intellectual, advisory, and pedagogical work of faculty, curricular opportunities, as well as the intellectual of the doctoral candidates through an avocation that drives research and theory in our fields. Specific issues raised in this edited volume include comprehensive analysis of programs, rethinking evaluation and programmatic coherence, doctoral degrees beyond the discipline, subject, and field, and implications of individual identity. Along with authors’ chapters, we paid attention to encourage reflection as an important characteristic of a quality doctoral program; positing that “good doctoral” experiences foster active engagement in reflection on all elements of the doctoral experience, including program and curricular issues, personal relationships, work, and the creation of a community of scholars.

Download or read book Talking about Leaving Revisited written by Elaine Seymour and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking about Leaving Revisited discusses findings from a five-year study that explores the extent, nature, and contributory causes of field-switching both from and among “STEM” majors, and what enables persistence to graduation. The book reflects on what has and has not changed since publication of Talking about Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences (Elaine Seymour & Nancy M. Hewitt, Westview Press, 1997). With the editors’ guidance, the authors of each chapter collaborate to address key questions, drawing on findings from each related study source: national and institutional data, interviews with faculty and students, structured observations and student assessments of teaching methods in STEM gateway courses. Pitched to a wide audience, engaging in style, and richly illustrated in the interviewees’ own words, this book affords the most comprehensive explanatory account to date of persistence, relocation and loss in undergraduate sciences. Comprehensively addresses the causes of loss from undergraduate STEM majors—an issue of ongoing national concern. Presents critical research relevant for nationwide STEM education reform efforts. Explores the reasons why talented undergraduates abandon STEM majors. Dispels popular causal myths about why students choose to leave STEM majors. This volume is based upon work supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award No. 2012-6-05 and the National Science Foundation Award No. DUE 1224637.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expanded edition of the original bestseller, How to Teach Mathematics, offers hands-on guidance for teaching mathematics in the modern classroom setting. Twelve appendices have been added that are written by experts who have a wide range of opinions and viewpoints on the major teaching issues. Eschewing generalities, the award-winning author and teacher, Steven Krantz, addresses issues such as preparation, presentation, discipline, and grading. He also emphasizes specifics--from how to deal with students who beg for extra points on an exam to mastering blackboard technique to how to use applications effectively. No other contemporary book addresses the principles of good teaching in such a comprehensive and cogent manner. The broad appeal of this text makes it accessible to areas other than mathematics. The principles presented can apply to a variety of disciplines--from music to English to business. Lively and humorous, yet serious and sensible, this volume offers readers incisive information and practical applications.

This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American universities depend on international teaching assistants (ITAs) as a substantial part of the teaching labor force, which has led to the idea of an ‘ITA problem’, a deficiency model which is framed as a divergence between ITAs’ linguistic competence and undergraduates’ and their parents’ expectations. This outdated positioning of ITAs as deficient diminishes the invaluable role they play within the academy. This book argues instead for an approach to ITA which recognizes them as multilingual, skilled, migrant professionals who participate in and are discursively constructed through various participant frameworks, modalities and activities. The chapters in this volume offer state-of-the-art research into ITA using a variety of methods and approaches, and as such constitute a transdisciplinary perspective which argues for the importance of dialogue between research and practice.
