In line withthe CIRTL pillars, this program develops a short-term, but intensive, learning communityatmosphere while exposing participants to the teaching-as-research and learning-through-diversity concepts. Evaluation of the program indicates that it is very well-received byparticipants with 94% agreeing that they would recommend the institute to a friend. In addition,nearly 60% of participants agreed that they both understood how to develop a teaching portfolioand had outlined an effective

allocated funding suggests a perceivedimportance of the program for increasing the number of students involved in research.One of the goals of many REU programs is to increase the likelihood that involved students willgo on to graduate school in the STEM disciplines. As compared to a matched sample ofundergraduates who did not participate in an REU program, Zydney and colleagues (2002) foundthat participating students had an increased likelihood of attending graduate school and felt thatthe program improved their career trajectories. Similarly, Seymour and colleagues found thatstudents felt that their research experience allowed them to have a clearer picture of their post-graduation plans and felt more prepared for their career or graduate school

Thispaper examines these responses further to determine whether or not their teachingresponsibilities, their confidence with a variety of teaching-related tasks (e.g., lesson planning,working with students, etc.), and use of teaching peer mentors influence their decisions toincorporate active learning into their teaching practice. Recommendations for faculty supervisorsand TA training program organizers are provided.1

To aid with overcoming these challenges, aconcise economics primer has been developed that students are required to go through andanswer questions about before the first meeting of EES 810. Since some students have had someeconomics coursework previously while others have not, the primer is intended to help “level theplaying field” in terms of economics background among these students.

This was found to be the case in fewcase study observations. Few examples of such experiences are: ‚ “John Smith” came to see me this summer when he started planning his study to discuss his research design and its validity and of course the type of data he plans to collect and the appropriate methods to analyze. ‚ “Jane Jones” knew she would need to use regression

Students read assigned materials, discussed them inclass with the instructor, and then used information gleaned from the reading and discussions tocomplete assignments that would be useful in performing their duties as faculty members.Some examples of assignments are a syllabus and materials for a course in the student’stechnical field, an interactive presentation of course materials, a detailed teaching philosophy,and a plan for mentoring graduate students.
