Perspectives on Teaching from Early-Career Scientists: Graduate Students as Teachers
Arif, Suchinta; Massey, Melanie Duc Bo
Journal of College Science Teaching, v51 n4 p15-20 Mar-Apr 2022
Many graduate students spend a part of their time teaching at the university level. While there is an abundance of advice from older, more established faculty, the perspective and teaching styles of graduate students are lacking in the literature. After talking with several graduate student teachers across different universities, we identified three factors as pivotal in our teaching approach: breaking down student-professor barriers, fostering creativity, and incorporating inclusion in the classroom. In this article, we highlight how these three factors shaped our teaching style and experience. With this article, we aim to provide insight into how a younger generation of graduate student teachers are teaching effectively at the university level.
