Science teaching in most Brazilian Universities tends to focus mainly on lectures and provides few opportunities for the development of modern teaching skills. Our group developed an online tool called Adopt a Bacterium, which consists on a Facebook group where teacher assistants (TAs) can interact with students and have a first contact with student-focused learning approaches. This work shows the TAs’ own assessment of how the tool could be further explored to help them develop skills and become better teachers.

采用细菌：助教的专业发展机会。

在巴西大多数大学中，科学教学往往主要集中于讲课，而为现代教学技能的发展提供的机会很少。我们的小组开发了一个名为“采用细菌”的在线工具，该工具由一个Facebook小组组成，在该小组中，助教（TA）可以与学生互动，并首次接触以学生为中心的学习方法。这项工作显示了技术人员对如何进一步探索该工具以帮助他们发展技能并成为更好的教师的评估。
