Q&A Buddy
Q&A Buddy explores the metacognitive skill of help-seeking, and how we can best support it during CS1 office hours. We are designing and creating a tool that aims to help TAs deliberately practice and improve key areas of their teaching and coaching abilities. To do this, we help TAs gain a deeper understanding of what it means to become a "good TA," and then provide them with actionable strategies that they can apply week-to-week during their office hours settings. We focus on helping TAsĀ help students become better help-seekers, effectively transforming TAs into "help-seeking coaches" than "answer-givers."
