As such, a positive impact on GTAs’ teaching practices could directly improve undergraduate students’ learning experiences [3]. GTAs often have little or no preparation for their roles as educators and as such may lack awareness of the significance of their role in higher education. They often rely on teaching approaches they have encountered as students, or those of their peers, whether those approaches have been successful or not [1]. For this reason, improving GTAs’ pedagogical knowledge and skills could be seen to be a crucial step towards enhancing teaching practices in postsecondary education. The

ramifications for continuing professional development for three important reasons.The first is that more rapid employee turnover means organizations need to do more training.The second is that many of the replacement employees have less knowledge and experience thanthe workers they are replacing. This is one of the effects of a tight labor market whereorganizations are finding it increasingly difficult to find qualified workers and are often forced tohire less qualified workers. A third factor is that most organizations do not do a good job ofcapturing the knowledge of employees who are leaving. This is particularly important whenreplacing engineering positions which are often highly technical and generally take longer tobring new hires up to full

the transition to higher education. According to the National Center for Education Statistics [1], nearly one-third of undergraduate students in the United States are first-generation college students. Those with a family history of higher education typically enter college with a clearer understanding of academic demands and social integration, which enhances their confidence and adaptability [2]. In contrast, first-generation students may find themselves navigating college life with limited support, impacting their engagement and performance.
