Abstract

Preparing graduate students for teaching careers in academia can involve myriad approaches. One such approach is facilitating authentic teaching opportunities for graduate students. The purpose of this multiple case study was to chronicle the perspectives of four humanities graduate students as they participated in a mentored teaching experience at a community college. Specific emphases included the evolution of participants’ teacher identity and how a mentored teaching experience shaped participants’ future career goals. Data sources consisted of semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, journal reflections, and classroom artifacts. Participants identified the fundamental importance of mentor faculty and diverse students as drivers in their own pedagogical development and reflected on the value of interpersonal connections in education. Implications include the need for more pedagogical transparency and discussion in humanities graduate education, as well as the potential of constructing cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations to support graduate students’ professional development.

合作中的人文学科：人文学科研究生的指导性教学经验

为研究生在学术界从事教学工作做好准备可以涉及多种方法。其中一种方法就是为研究生提供真实的教学机会。这项多案例研究的目的是记录四名人文学科研究生在社区大学参加指导教学体验时的观点。具体重点包括参与者教师身份的演变，以及指导教学经历如何影响参与者未来的职业目标。数据来源包括半结构式访谈、课堂观察、日志反思和课堂手工制品。学员们发现，指导教师和不同的学生对自己的教学发展具有根本性的重要推动作用，并反思了人际关系在教育中的价值。其启示包括：在人文学科研究生教育中需要更多的教学透明度和讨论，以及构建跨学科和跨机构合作以支持研究生专业发展的潜力。
