Anticipatory Socialization of Undergraduate College Teaching Norms by Entering Graduate Teaching Assistants.

Braxton, John M.; And Others

Research in Higher Education, v36 n6 p671-86 Dec 1995

A study of 250 new teaching assistants and 122 tenure-track faculty investigated their endorsement of 4 norms defining appropriate and inappropriate teaching behavior: (1) interpersonal disregard; (2) particularistic grading; (3) moral turpitude; and (4) inadequate planning. Both groups accorded the norms similar levels of impropriety. Questions about the role of assistantships in socializing future faculty are raised. (MSE)
