Adapted from Gazca et al.3 In a pattern common to studied sections and sessions, the highest percentage was found inknowledge-centered activities, with a percentage of approximately 30% in the six groupsobserved. The Modeling and Laboratory sessions of both sections displayed their second-highestpercentages in community-centered activities. These results are logical if one considers that inthese two sessions most problems and projects are solved in teams and most of them are relatedto the real world. On the other hand, the Concepts sessions, which comprise the theoreticalportion of the EI-100 course, have their second-highest percentage in learner-centered

This isproblematic in the short term and long term, as graduate students may not be prepared orsupported in their immediate work as TAs or in their potential future role as faculty.Instructors’ beliefs and confidence inform their practice [5]. STEM instructors’ beliefs canimpact student achievement, as reported by Canning et al. [8], who found that students -especially underrepresented minority students (e.g., Black, Latino, and Native American) - hadlower academic performance in courses taught by STEM faculty who had a fixed mindset towardstudent learning. STEM graduate student TAs can benefit from PD that intentionally targets their“beliefs, confidence, and practice
