Using data gathered throughout the pilot year, we will present evidence for each of the following four research questions that were developed at the outset of the MGTF program:

  • To what extent does the MGTF program help future faculty to understand and use basic principles of teaching and learning central to university teaching and student learning?
  • To what extent does the MGTF program produce peer TAs who are effective in working with and supporting novice TAs?
  • To what extent does the presence and use of MGTF in STEM laboratory courses improve performance of novice TAs in laboratory-based teaching and learning?
  • To what extent do professional development workshops for STEM TAs impact their interest and understanding of teaching and learning?
