A Graduate Course on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Influences on Conceptions of Teaching and Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper reports on the effects of a graduate course on teaching and learning on graduate teaching assistants’ conceptions of teaching and on the teaching philosophy statements that arose from those conceptions. Effects are interpreted from three perspectives: 1) course facilitators' reports of their perceptions of course participants’ conceptual change; 2) an independent assessors' ratings of the evidence of change through blind review of course participants’ initial philosophy statements and final statements; and 3) participants' own perceptions of change and identification of the course components and learning activities that were most significant in their conceptual development. Findings suggest that graduate teaching assistants’ perceptions of conceptual change differ significantly from those of both the course facilitators and the independent assessor. Cet article présente un rapport concernant les effets d’un cours supérieur portant sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage sur les conceptions relatives à l’enseignement d’assistants d’enseignement diplômés et sur les exposés sur la philosophie d’enseignement qui ont découlé de ces conceptions. Les effets sont interprétés à partir de trois perspectives : 1) les rapports des facilitateurs du cours concernant leurs perceptions du changement conceptuel survenu parmi les participants; 2) l’évaluation d’un assesseur indépendant concernant l’évidence du changement par le biais d’un examen aveugle des exposés initiaux sur la philosophie d’enseignement des participants ainsi que de leurs exposés finaux; et 3) les perceptions personnelles des participants concernant le changement et l’identification des composantes du cours et des activités d’apprentissage qui ont été les plus significatives pour leur développement conceptuel. Les résultats suggèrent que les perceptions des assistants d’enseignement diplômés concernant le changement conceptuel diffèrent grandement de celles des facilitateurs du cours et de celles de l’assesseur indépendant.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
