我们提出了一个系统的文献综述的本科教学助理（UTAs）在计算机科学的先前工作有两个目标：（1）创建一个分类的做法，涉及到UTA程序的设计和实施，（2）确定使用UTAs的好处，如文献所声称的，并表征这些索赔的证据水平。我们分析了与这些目标相关的40篇论文中的336篇摘录。我们使用内容分析摘录描述的做法，提取高层次的主题，包括招聘，UTA和计划协调员的职责，培训，评估和UTA计划的组织。我们在每个主题中进行更细粒度的分析，以确定有关UTA计划的具体问题和文献提供的答案。使用类似的技术，我们报告的UTA计划声称的好处，学生，UTA，教师和机构。我们的分析遵循定义明确的协议，涉及多个审查员，我们报告的评分员之间的可靠性。本文中提供的结果奠定了基础，为开发基于证据的最佳实践在UTA计划和通知实践和政策相关的使用UTA在高等院校。因此，它与教育工作者建立一个新的UTA计划，扩大现有的计划，或不断改进一个既定的计划，以及那些设计这些计划的研究有关。
We present a systematic literature review of the prior work on Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs) in Computer Science with two goals: (1) to create a taxonomy of practices that relate to the design and implementation of UTA programs, (2) to identify the benefits of using UTAs as claimed by the literature and characterize the level of evidence for those claims. We analyze 336 excerpts from 40 papers related to these goals. We use content analysis on excerpts describing practices to extract high-level themes that include recruiting, UTA and program coordinator duties, training, evaluation and organization of UTA programs. We perform a more fine-grained analysis within each theme to identify specific questions about UTA programs and the answers provided by the literature. Using a similar technique, we report on the claimed benefits of UTA programs to students, UTAs, instructors and institutions. Our analysis follows well-defined protocols involving multiple reviewers and we report on the inter-rater reliability. The results provided in this paper lay the groundwork for developing evidence-based best practices in UTA programs and inform practice and policy related to the use of UTAs at tertiary institutions. As such, it is relevant to educators establishing a new UTA program, expanding an existing program, or continuously improving an established program, as well as those designing research studies of such programs.
