Tulane, Sarah; Beckert, Troy E.
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v11 n4 p44-55 Dec 2011
The current study examined the graduate teaching assistantship experience from the perspective of course instructors, graduate teaching assistants, and students. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to determine the degree to which these groups perceived teaching assistants as utilized and knowledgeable in their assigned tasks. Students had a high propensity to answer, "I don't know" as to whether a teaching assistant was utilized in multiple duties. One-way ANOVAs with post-hoc analysis indicated most statistical differences in perceptions were between instructors and students. Overall, instructors perceived teaching assistants as more effective than did students. (Contains 4 tables.)
