| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the current conditions and future challenges of teaching assistant (TA) systems and TA training systems in universities in the United States, as they were modeled after in Japan when introduced in 1994. In this study, the researchers closely examined the current conditions at major universities in the Midwest and clarified the differences between campus-wide programs and departmental programs and the differences across disciplines in TA training, while finding a well-established, consistent system for developing graduate students' teaching abilities. The researchers presented the findings at conferences in Japan and the U.S., and published several articles in academic journals in Japan.
